    Need Opinions Please!

    She is the highest in the flock and there is no sign of blood or raw skin.

    Need Opinions Please!

    Hello! Today one of my easter eggers turned one and I went to bring her her birthday treats and I noticed that her beard is completely gone. She just has a bare chin/neck area. There are not any signs of dried blood so I am thinking that she might just be having a molt. I'm not sure if this is...

    Death in Chicken

    The other day I went out to the coop and discovered that one or two of my hens had killed one of the others. The one they killed was a semi-new addition to the flock and I'd noticed that one bird was more violent than usual to her when trying to establish the pecking order. What I want to know...

    BSL Roo or Pullet?!

    Feeding Spiders to Chicks

    I am terrified of spiders and am currently looking at one that is way too big for my comfort. It's body is about the size of a kidney bean. I have some 4 day old chicks in the brooder downstairs and am wondering if I could feed it to them. I know older chickens eat them, but I was wondering...

    Breed?

    Quote: Ditto, rooster looks like a Black Copper Maran! If he isn't, than he's a mix of some sort. The chick is a partridge silkie I agree. I agree too

    McMurray Rooster???

    He's either a phoenix or an EE, but with the lack of the really nice phoenix tail, I'm leaning more toward the EE.
