So my kiddos just brought us a "sleeping" chickie :(I caught the mom pecking her chicks earlier (And this particular one) when they were all trying to eat... It didn't look friendly, and I don't think my kids did this (there was some blood and it does look like we found a couple rips under its...

Thanks!! I'll check back in when they're a little older then lol I just have no patience it looks like we're around the same area so you understand my concern (or my neighbors concern) for roosters haha. I don't think we're allowed them since we aren't far enough outside city limits lol. Thanks!!!

There were a couple different Roos I saw! One was gorgeous and looked like a splash? They guessed the dad was the barred rock which I think was for atleast her 4. Not the others though? Lol there were chickens everywhere it was a chickie paradise

It does look Roo'ish to me.

All the black ones have some light barring so I guessed dad was a BR too!! A compel are more brown, they're all so different lol! So pretty though! Thank you! So what constitutes an EE?? The top EE has gorgeous olive green legs and feet!

Oops! The top is the EE, not last! Lol silly image uploader!

We've had our girls for about 2.5 months, theyre about 17 weeks old now and have always been together no new chickies have been added. Anyways I've just started noticing that one of my Golden Wyandottes' lobes have started turning yellow?! Is she sick? Is this a trait? They are acting fine and...

Hi! We have a small flock of free ranging backyard hens and in 2 weeks or so will be getting a Hen and her newly hatched chicks. (We decided not to move her and the fertile eggs from the previous owner until after they hatch, for fear that she would abandon the eggs). What do I need to expect...

EEK! Well, exciting that shes a girl! Totally throw that shes not what we were told but still excited! Shes super pretty but when I was looking at pictures it definitely crossed my mind she wasn't an orpington cross. Shes chasing a fly at the moment lol. Thank you all for the answers!

Hi! We're newbie chicken lovers, we've had our girls a couple weeks. This baby is I believe about 9/10 weeks old. What breed does she look like? (I'm really hoping she is a she-what do you think?) I was told orpington. Thanks for your help!
