    Welsummers- I’m pretty sure 2 Roos, what do you say?

    Thanks for the confirmation, that’s what I suspected. I should have known better than to let someone else choose my birds.

    Welsummers- I’m pretty sure 2 Roos, what do you say?

    These are my first Welsummers and I hear they have definitive color variations between sexes. I’ve had great luck picking pullets out of a group based on temperament. Pick the most timid, the one that runs from you and tries to hide under another chick; that one’s the pullet. If the chick is...

    Long live the King - the neverending story of Brahmalot!

    Good morning and greetings to Brahmalot. A few days ago, a giant from a far of land arrived at Brahmalot to request several ladies for a quest to a new kingdom. The giant asked for the fairest ladies, but also the most gentle and kind. There would be a new kingdom in a seaside village. Since...

    Will hens sleep late?

    Currently we have a 4 hens of varied ages. I just got another from a local backyard keeper which is 2, and the oldest of my birds. Normally would have kept but her in the side yard to free range during the day, in a large dog crate at night for a few weeks. Insert Tropical Storm Andrea. I have a...

    True Ameraucana? What color is this?

    So he started crowing. I took him back to the breeder (because I can't keep cockerels) and he is splash wheaten. I ended up replacing him with a two year old splash wheaten hen that another local person had originally gotten from him as a chick. She is also stunning but lays green. So from what...

    True Ameraucana? What color is this?

    The person who sold me this chick told me it was an Ameruacana. I've read on here that there are few true Ameruacanas. Now that the colors are showing beautifully, I can't seem to find a similar color pattern. I was told it was splash, but that doesn't seem accurate. Question 1) True Ameruacana...

    How long does diatomaceous earth take to work on lice?

    What about Adams spray? I have some because I have used it on my dog.

    How long does diatomaceous earth take to work on lice?

    I lost a chicken Friday. My three are usually thrilled to see me, but Friday one didn't get up. She seemed fine that morning. I went and checked and she wasn't breathing hard or panting. I picked her up and went to bring her inside and she jerked her head, straightened her legs and went limp...

    Delaware, pullet or cockerel?

    I feather sexed him at 1 day. Roo. Combs and wattles. Roo. Personality. Roo. Thick legs. Roo. But then he's fully white, very little coloring. I was told he was a she. Then all my other roos have started crowing and he makes a ton of noise but never an attempt to crow. I was pretty sure but I...

    Delaware, pullet or cockerel?

    I believe I already know but then I read a thread that contradicts me, so I start thinking the other then I see a picture that changes my mind again. So, I'm turning this one over to BYC. Sorry for the poor lighting. Phone camera at dusk.

    Just one chick?

    Well that's just terrible!! As a parent, I would be super ****** if my kid came home with a pet of any kind from school. No 6 year old is capable of fully handling the responsibility of an animal so it's a class project that becomes a parent responsibility. I hope the teacher is asking the...

    Moving outside without heat

    Last night was the same, waiting by the run door at dusk, I had to put them in and quickly shut the door. This time they immediately settled down. Tonight was fun. I didn't have to chase or corral them. I started by putting they youngest in, then my oldest who is my most skittish pullet so when...
