    Something killed our rabbit

    Thanks for the replies. The bunny had a cage with a door that he hopped in and out of so he could access the yard - except at night when he was secured...but on this night we were out late and didn't secure him before we left, nor the chickens. So yeah, he was easy prey. It has been so hot...

    Something killed our rabbit

    Ok, I know that this is a chicken forum, but I need predator help as I feel our chickens are now at risk. Our show-quality mini-lop (just won best of show - my 11 year old shows him too )was killed visciously overnight. It was eaten in the neck and chest area to the bone, but the entrails were...

    Bantam Ameraucana/EE pullet or roo?

    Quote: Her earlobes are actually blue. But I agree. I found a picture of a Gold Dutch on Feathersite just now that looks exactly like her. I also saw chicks that looked like her too called "Gold Partridge Dutch". Can't wait for eggs!

    Bantam Ameraucana/EE pullet or roo?

    Quote: Tell me more...if she lays green or blue, what will that mean? Thanks! And YAY that she's a girl! We were 4/5 roos out of our spring chicks - she is our ONLY girl from that bunch! I told DH we got to get the nest boxes in!

    Please help me identify these two roosters' breeds (lots of pics!)

    I have two guys I can't figure out! I have tried lots on my own I promise! This first is a large white cockerel - sold to us as a bantam chick but he's huge compared to the others, but still not as big as the standards. He has a meaty body and yellow feet and feathers on his shanks only, not...

    Bantam Ameraucana/EE pullet or roo?

    Is this an EE pullet? (sold as Ameraucana chick to us at IFA so I have since learned that feed stores can't sell Ameraucanas - they are instead Easter Eggers? Is that correct?) Anyway, she is a bantam, and she is 16 wks old. Her face and comb have turned bright pink the last week. Up until now...

    Ok to give our pullets hardboiled egg as a treat?

    Our baby (the human one) eats a hardboiled egg yolk every morning but because of his age he's not to have the white yet. So I gave the white to our new pullets this morning and they loved it. I chopped it up. Can I feed this to my pullets as a treat? Or will it give them a taste for eggs and...

    Is it normal for cockerels to attack new pullets?

    It wouldn't surprise me if my Americauna was getting ready to lay. I noticed her cheeks and comb are getting very bright pink the last few days! As far as the boys, they are no doubt going through puberty. They mount each other sometimes. They seem to think that the tiny bantam cockerel is the...

    Are these Barred Rock pullets/Golden & Black Sex Links too?

    We just got 4 new pullets that were said to be 2.5 months old. The seller said they are as follows: Black sex link pullet http://img.bonnint.net/slc/1268/126830/12683004.jpg?filter=ksl/gallery1 Barred Rock Pullets (pic not the best - sorry)...

    Is it normal for cockerels to attack new pullets?

    Thank you for the responses and link. I read through it and think we have a relatively good system going for now. Our coop is a shed with a chicken wire wall/door inside and an outside pen, so they always can get outside. We also open the door and let them free range the yard during the day. So...

    Is it normal for cockerels to attack new pullets?

    Today we got 4 beautiful 10 wk old pullets (two sex-link and two barred rocks). They are standard size. We also have a small flock of 3 bantams cockerels and one standard cockerel and one Americauna bantam pullet. They about 16 weeks old. We wanted pullets so we were in the process of finding...
