    Sick Hen, Need advice in Oklahoma

    I Live near Sapulpa / Tulsa Oklahoma. Does anyone know of a Vet that sees Poultry in my area?

    Sick Pale Rooster

    This rooster had been in a smaller pen that didn't get lots of direct sunlight. So when I integrated him into my main chicken yard I wasn't overly concerned about his pale comb face and waddles, But its been probably 3 months since I moved him and his paleness hasn't improved. He is about 18...

    What is this?!

    Definately a mutt. Nothing wrong with a mutt you know Hybred Vigor and all. As far as the sex goes and I had to guess I would go with rooster too, but you can never tell. She may just be confident in her femiminity.

    Guess the breed and help with sexing (pictures included)

    I would just be patient and enjoy them. Time will tell which are hens and which are roosters. You might want to put down some pine shavings or something on top of the newspaper to prevent the slickness of the newsprint from giving them spayed or spraddled legs. Its a condition they sometimes get...

    Combs and Genetics

    Forgive my ignorance but, since I have never seen anything but a rose comb on a Dominique, would I be correct to assume since I got my Dominiques from a hatchery that they should have two genes for rose comb? I agree, Rooster was Wayne's best character ever...

    Combs and Genetics

    I am planning on breeding a sex link next spring. I want a sex link that is a good egg layer, economical feed bill. Im thinking a Brown Leghorn Rooster over some Dominique hens. My question is: What will their combs be like? I live in Northeastern Oklahoma where the Leghorns can get a frostbit...

    Cream Legbar Pictures

    Seeking Opinions: I bought some "Cream Legbar" eggs off of eBay 1/2 doz. Not a great experience overall. One egg was broken, One had a crack, All were dirty. Anyway I sat the remaining eggs in my incubator and this is what hatched. I've have never had any Cream Legbars but the light colored one...
