    Golden Laced Polish, hen or roo?

    I just had a broody hen hatch a couple of Polish. I've never had any before. I will say, they are the hardest ones I've ever had to sex. I'm going to say yours looks hennish since I can't tell or see if there are any pointy saddle feathers coming in or any wattle development yet. Here's a...

    Thank you. Silkies and Polish. They are a lot of fun. I bought fertilized eggs for a broody hen. I swore no more babies, but you know how that goes. :)

    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    I haven't posted in awhile. I recently lost my lone duck. I've lost some chickens over the years to various disorders and/or age but have added a few new members. I'll add a few pictures of my newbies. I've searched and have read many comments over the years that have been extremely helpful...

    Devastated... Lost 7 of 13 chicks last night.

    Chapman Family - if you haven't already gotten more chicks, I'd suggest doing what Killyhawker mentioned. Concentrate on the ones you have. If you were to get new chicks, you'd want to quarantine them for 30 days before introducing them to the ones you have. Just a thought. Good luck. There...

    Nice thing to say to help the situation. I sure hope you don't own a dog. 😡

    What's your "Dream Flock"? How many chickens is the perfect amount for you? What breeds do you adore?

    This may have already been mentioned. I haven't read all the comments yet but please isolate and quarentine new chicks for at least 30 days. I can't stress this enough. I do quarentine. Always. Breeders that are NPIP certified, doesn't mean you can't end up with sick chicks. I think your best...

    If you could only keep 3-5 chickens

    Keep in mind, any young chickens can be flighty and probably get over a 4 foot fence. Heavier breeds would be less likely to get over a 4 ft fence when they get to laying age. (I think that was a question) About the only breed I had that didn't go over the fence were my cream legbars. Not sure...

    Does anyone have Asian Blacks?

    Very pretty. I think the Asian Blacks I bought turned out to be Australorps. One pullet and one roo.

    When will he crow? Black Orpington?

    I checked this morning. I'm leaning towards pink/flesh color so I'll go with Australorp. Thank you!

    When will he crow? Black Orpington?

    I told everyone I'd let them know the results. The larger one is a boy. Just started crowing and compared to a Silkie crow, it is a very deep crow. LOL Would everyone agree Australorp? He's quite large, especially compared to the pullet.
