    Columbian Rock Cross Roo question

    The Columbian rock cross in the picture above ended up being a pullet! Her comb is huge and flops (which makes me think she may have some leghorn in there). Got back from vacation and she was squatting!! We had a new egg laid yesterday, not sure who it's from by it's brown with some speckles...

    Columbian Rock Cross Roo question

    I have a 13 week old CRC who is huge with a reddish comb, but no brown feathering which would indicate male. I have heard that their combs grow early and not to sex by comb growth. Can anyone tell me when do the males develop their brown feathers? Right now I'm just waiting and watching to see...

    Sharing nest box?

    Twice I have found 2 hens sitting in the same box together. One is a BO and the other is a SLW. It looks like the BO is in the box first and the SLW joins her (unknown if it's the same BO as we have 3, but it's definitely the same SLW. They both lay an egg :-)

    Dying chicks

    is it possible they were vaccinated for coccidiosis? If they were and you're feeding them medicated feed, it could nullify the vaccine.

    Whats the weirdest thing your chickens have eaten or tried to eat??

    Elise, one of our barred rocks, pecked my diamond earring out of my ear. We found it the next day, the post was bent. My husband had them reset for our anniversary.
