    Hen or Rooster!?

    I found through this group that I don’t actually know what a rooster/hen looks like 😂🤣…only way I know for sure is posting here or seeing them produce an egg. Here is my hen that is a similar breed (possibly an RIR, but probably not pure)

    Vaccinated chicken with unvaccinated chickens

    So majority of vaccinations don’t cause illness in those unvaccinated, I know with Marek’s the statement of “leaky vaccine” is thrown around. But this applies to coverage from Marek’s being the “leaky” not that non vaccinated birds will get Marek’s from birds that have the vaccination. If that...

    Breed and Gender thoughts

    I was away this weekend, my daughter collected the bottom row at noon yesterday and I collected the top 3 tonight at 9pm when I got home. 😊 the pink-ish egg on the far left bottom is a new one, first time I have collected one of those! ETA Hard to tell but one of the eggs in the top rows is a...

    There seems 4 different eggs…and Hei-Hei seems to be leaving the eggs alone. 🤞🏻 (egg at the top is a white store bought large chicken egg as a comparison)

    🤞🤞🤞 Truthfully I don’t know if Hei-Hei could find their way out of wet paper bag. 🤣😂 So that is probable they might forget they eat eggs. Lol

    Well a weird update…apparently Hei-Hei only goes after the Red hen’s egg and leaves all the blue/white ones. But the Red Hen has learned to go in a nesting box to lay now… and Hei-Hei is unaware an egg exists if they lay it there. I have collected 3 different types of eggs over two days. 🤷‍♀️

    Update Confirmed that the one with the puffs is a hen and lays the light green/blue. The dark red one also a hen and saw her lay this one. Now just have to confirm who is laying the white/cream egg. So there should be three hens in total. Unfortunately I am dealing with an egg eater. The...

    K! I have to get their ages from her as well…I know she said the mostly white one is over 4 years old. If the red one is older would that make it change it’s shank pigment?

    Thank you! It is quite the mix so I do hope that I can integrate them. 🤞🏻 I am curious what the big rooster is like…my last one we had to cull cause of serious human aggression. I should have at least 2 hens in the bunch, just trying to figure out who. I am leaning towards the Rhode Island Red...

    My friend had the majority of her flock taken by raccoons. She doesn’t have a heated coop so the ones that survived were not enough to keep warm in the size of the coop she has. So I told her I would take them. Not sure if they will integrate but we are going to attempt. I am pretty sure the...

    Turkey gender, processing, and breeder question

    Hi! We have 4 turkeys and just wondering if I am correct on their gender. They are 10 weeks old hatched from the same set. Variety is Ridley Bronze mix because a white poult hatched and the markings are off on the others. So the breeder has a cross somewhere in the mix (usually they have a...
