    Will my hen protect the chicks from other hens?

    I only had one of my eggs hatch from my broody and have no way of separating them from the flock at the moment so mama and baby are with everyone else. She is doing great protecting her baby and none of my other 30+ chickens even dare come near her. Mama puffs up and scares them all off, it's...

    silkie sexing

    Posted these in my own post but didn't get much response so thought I'd try here. I just got this silkie/cochin mix, fell in love with it immediately. Is it a hen or rooster? It's around a year old so I should know but I'm a newbie and have been fooled by Cochins before. Lol!! Thanks

    Rooster or hens?

    Rooster or hen? We were told she/he is a cochin/silkie mix. Has 5 toes and obviously feathered legs. Approximately 1 year, I've been wrong on Cochins before and want to make sure this time. Thanks Since I have everyone's attention, how about this ameracauna, we were told hen and a year...

    Understanding Chicken Math

    I used Meyer hatchery out of ohio, we are only a few hours from them so I figured shipping would be easier on them. We only lost the one chick about a week after they arrived so I think we did good.

    Understanding Chicken Math

    Barred Rock's Bad Behavior

    I have barred rocks and while a few are skittish and run off, most are the sweetest chickens. I have 2 who love sitting in my lap and come running when I call them by name. They are only 10 weeks old and didn't start getting super friendly until 6 weeks or so, so don't give up on them yet.

    Breed Questions

    I have a game fowl mix and he's great with his girls and tolerates us humans too. We have a buff cochin who is the meanest rooster I've come in contact with, he's actually heading to the freezer soon, makes me sad because we heard great things about Cochins. I also have a few rooster chicks who...

    Possible rooster and help with breed

    The barred rock doesn't look like a barred rock to me, the comb looks like my dominiques. All my barred rocks have a single comb and my Dominiques have pea combs. I'm new to chickens so maybe they can have different combs. I would also say pullets, both breeds are lighter when roos. Have no...

    Darn you Atwoods! Two new chicks that need identification.

    The second one kind of looks like my sumatra did as a small chick.
