    Cockerel vs Pullet

    Below is two pictures of a 22 week old Buff Orpington/Rhode Island Red chicken. The first picture is the Hen/Rooster in question. The bottom pic is for sure a rooster. The chicken in question has larger comb and waddles than the obvious hens, and I have seen her/him mounting hens, however I do...

    Turkey flew away, hasn't came back.

    Today my Spanish Black turkey (16 weeks) was in my dog's fence so when I went to get him out he flew away and hasn't come back. Will he come back tonight? He's been free ranging for about two months now and has never done this, so I'm worried.

    What Kind of monster have I created?

    For about three weeks now, my black silkie has been sitting on some eggs. I thought for sure none would hatch, but of course, today one did. So the mother is a full black silkie, father is Rhode Island Red/Buff Orpington cross. Ever heard of it? Seen it? Thanks!

    How to get rid of flies and roaches

    Recently, there has been THOUSANDS (it seems like) of flies in my chicken's coop. They stay in there all day, breed, lay eggs, repopulate. Whats the safest and most effective way I can get rid of them? I've also noticed a few roaches here lately. Please help!

    19 weeks, no crowing, no eggs

    They are Buff Orpington/Rhode Island Red crosses. They're five hens and five roosters (because they've just gotten old enough to tell)...I thought maybe they don't crow because there are five of them?
