I am over joyed today that i got the DNA sex results back today and all 3 remaining juveniles are hens. The blue one, the black one and the buff one. I am giddy with happiness right now.

So, Unfortunately, I lost the only baby that I KNEW was a hen for sure, she was just dead in the coop this morning without a mark on her. everyone seems so undecided both here and among my local chicken friends that I decided to cheat and have the last 3 DNA sexed. yes its probably a waste of...
These babies were purchased on Labor Day as 2-3day olds. I think 2 are roosters and 2 are hens, but it might be 1 hen and 3 roosters.
Chick 1- I *think it s a roo?*
Chick 2- Pretty sure this one is a hen
Chick 3- super fluffy feet on this one but not really sure on gender although I...
So I called the store up and talked to the guy that grabbed them for me and he told me the breed I'd card said red broilers but he honestly wasn't sure. He said it's against policy to return them but he would this one time. But now I am curious...so I'm going to grow them out and see what they...
I was thinking the same thing about them looking like welsummers. They did have leghorn chicks there in 1 of the tubs but I can't recall if they were mixed in with these. The other chicks in the tub were white or light dusty red and a LOT bigger. Ug. And I was kind of talking to someone and had...
Hi everyone, i wanted to try some broiler chicks and was sold 6 "red broilers" at tractor supply. But to be honest these are pretty small and I thought the larger light red chicks in the same tub were the broilers. Can anyone help confirm these are or are not red broilers? Thanks in advance!
I wish it was that simple here. No they charge $100 for 5 yrs and u can only have 4 hens.theh do a site inspection and there are a bunch of rules.i read them all but the very nice lady who did my paperwork with me was just not sure about tje easement part.

Hi everyone, I just went and submitted my personal back yard chicken permit to my county and have a question that the permit lady was unsure about. according to the informatin for the permit it says: "The chicken coop shall be kept in the rear yard and must not be visible from adjoining...
So the other day we are sitting on the patio and a rooster crowed. We went to check it out thinking a stray roo was on the property or behind the fence. Nope, it was one of my Hens. And yes shes a girl and lays eggs. Shes a little over a year old.
As you can see an hear, Daria is tring...
Still not sure what's wrong with Red but she seems to be improving. I have had her on doxycycline for almost a week. She is still drinking and is not kind of eating. Shes scratching and pecking at the food..eating very little. Her crop is NEVER full..not even half full. I still have her in...
A crop needle is not really a needle..its a metal or plastic tube that you use to put it down into the birds crop to feed or give meds to it, I ordered a lot for my baby green cheek conures and the kit has sizes up to those large enough for bantams and other small chickens..was just good luck I...
I have baytril and doxycycline for birds on hand..but not sure which to try. If its viral then giving them to her is pointless...same with its its cancer. I do have crop needles coming in soon so yeah I can try to feed her directly into her crop. Thanks!
Thank for replying. I have asked at the feed store and people who have had chickens their entire lives and no one seems to have seen *this* before. I am afraid she will die if she doesnt star eating. I had already planned to open her up if she died..if it comes to that I will look for tumors. I...
