    Large Loss in Egg Production

    Thanks for the information. The friend I went with to go get the 5 hens for me actually bought some herself. She bought 6 hens. They've just now brought a disease into her flock. I've just heard about this. Apparently, they sound raspy and their eyes are goopy. Mine, however, don't seem to have...

    Large Loss in Egg Production

    We had a horrible predator attack that left us standing with 4 hens. (Which only 3 were laying.) Only 3 eggs a day is what we were getting. We saw some free laying hens on Facebook one day so we took them. We got 8 hens and they all layed eggs. We were getting 11 eggs a day, pretty good. We've...

    Buff Orpington Gender???

    Yes, I am aware. I am not familiar with hatchery quality Buff Orps, I did have some Buff Orp chicks that by the age of 6 weeks were definitely lighter and more golden in color than this chick. Updated pictures in the future would be great. It's amazing how fast chicks can change within such a...

    Agreed. Maybe a Red Sex Link?

    Buff Orpington Gender???

    At 6 weeks old, that is definitely a cockerel. Also, cockerels do have slower feather development than pullets.

    Runaway Guinea comes home with girlfriend.

    Aww :love they're a cute couple! If I were you, I'd build them a coop and a run. (Preferably a run that is covered on the top, so they can't fly out.) Guineas are certified wanderers if they aren't confined, plus it isn't as safe for guineas to free range, as they can be hit by a car. Or killed...

    Organic Layer Feed - Anyone Use It?

    Today while shopping at TSC, we walked over to the clearance section and found some Manna Pro Organic Layer Pellets, only $7.99 for a 10lb bag. (And you know how organic livestock feed is quite pricey.) So, we grabbed 3 bags, then the person at the checkout marked the feed down even more. I was...

    Salmon Faverolle

    Hi, welcome to BYC, @chassyschickens I do not know of any Salmon Faverolle breeders in Ohio, however I will be ordering some Salmon Faverolles from the Cackle Hatchery. Cackle Hatchery is located in Lebanon, MO. All the birds we have bought from them have exceeded our expectations and were...

    Show off your roosters

    This is our handsome Barred Rock roo, Patrick. ^ That's Patrick about a month and a half ago. He was so little! ^ We also have an EE rooster, but I don't have a good picture of him.

    one eyed hen

    Her eye could've been pecked out by another chicken. Is she the last chicken in the pecking order? The only other thing I can think of is maybe she poked it on something, lol. By the way, I think Red Sex Link. They can vary a lot and have many different names, such as ISA Brown, Golden Comet, etc.

    Hen Got Shocked and Pecked by Rooster. Is Missing Skin. Please Help!

    I apologize for not posting this earlier, I have an exciting update on Francis. Okay, so, last night when we put ol' Fran to bed, my mother suggested I should straighten out her feet. I agreed to it. It took some effort, but I got it. This morning I woke up and went to check on her, I got her...
