    Will someone assist in confirming if this is a Rooster?

    Thank you! I guess he has a broken voice box. I am hearing a faint wake up call that sounds like a chicken toy with dead batteries. I guess that is him and not the Cornish Cross.

    Will someone assist in confirming if this is a Rooster?

    I am still learning the gender of chickens. This one came to me as a chick free with a mixed group. I have it in the pen with 7 other confirmed hens. Behaviorally, I see many dominant characteristics which lead me to believe it is a rooster. It is always the leader in the group. It is the...

    Trying to figure out what creature injured my jumbo cornish cross (GRAPHIC PIC)

    Ruger learned that I will chase him with the same shovel I bury the chickens with. All I have to do now is raise a shovel and he hides under the shed. I still don't trust him and they are not out unless I am there. That was a fluke that they found a hole and paid dearly for it. Oh, and to...

    It was the boxer. Yesterday I was walking the yard with my mother in law and he brought us half an eaten chicken. I found a spot in the gate where they were squeezing out and fixed it. Hopefully, between the fixed gate and a rooster the dog will learn a lesson.

    I have been anti-rooster in the past, but may need to get one to teach the boxer a lesson.

    I have no clue how long they were out. We do have hawks but they usually steer clear due to the dog. They were really dirty which leads me to believe slober helped dirty stick cause it is in a nice grassy area.

    I come home this afternoon to feed my birds and let some free range to find 4 jumbo cornish cross got out of the pen and were in the yard. Two of them were missing feathers. The other was not too bad and moving along fine, eating and drinking. This one was huddled trying to get in with my...

    I know this is a naked neck...is it a cross?

    At Nurse-turtle... That would be the best of both worlds if I landed an EE Naked Neck!

    I know this is a naked neck...is it a cross?

    I was thinking that may be the case. From what I understand, it is selective breeding for the trait of no feathering on the neck. Thus, the trait is more important than the breed I guess...

    I know this is a naked neck...is it a cross?

    I got this naked neck from Ideal Hatchery. She is obviously blond but two things intrigue me. Her wings remind me a bit of the Salmon Faverolles I have or the markings on my RIR babies. Additionally, her abdominal skin and feet have more of a blueish tint. Has anyone experienced this? This is...
