    Cockerel or Pullet

    Hen. Roos for Barred Rocks will have a break in the pattern at the neck to whereas hens will have a continued flow or pattern that follows through.

    Snakes of Northern Wisconsin

    My husband and I are new chicken owners here in northern Wisconsin and were wondering what types of snakes to keep an eye out for that would pose a threat to stealing our eggs. So far, we have only seen garters, ringnecks and brown. Thank you!!

    The Mysterious Smokey Pearls

    I have no clue. We bought them from Tractor Supply 🤷🏼‍♀️ We have tried googling them and there is hardly any info on them.

    The Mysterious Smokey Pearls

    As most of us know, there just isn't a whole lot of information on Smokey Pearls except that some are docile and sweet. We are really enjoying them 😊 For those who have or had Smokey Pearls, I am looking for information on about when they typically start laying eggs for you. Are they early egg...

    Has anyone heard of a smokey pearl chicken?

    So adorable 🥰 I am learning that we have 1 Australorp rooster in our first batch and in our second batch we have 3. The hen's tail feathers come in first while the roos still have fuzzy rumps 😊

    Probably Asked Many Times: Rooster or Hen?

    I apologize for the question that has been asked thousands of times, but I am still learning to navigate this forum. We have 10 chicks all around the same age of 3 1/2-4 1/2 weeks old and one has no tail feathers. Is it too soon to know whether or not it may be a roo or pullet?

    This one is the only one out of 10 that doesn't have its tail feathers. We will wait and see
