I need to rehome a rooster/ pullet pair. The roo is a gold sex link and the pullet is a black sex link. Both are 12 weeks old. We have to get rid of the Roo b/c of our city regs, but they were raised together and the pullet would be all alone without him and very hard to integrate into our...

I need to rehome a pair- a Gold Sex Link Rooster and a Black Sex Link Pullet. Both are 3 months old and very sweet. The rooster has to go because of our city laws, and the Pullet would be so sad without him, and we cant integrate her into our existing coop when she is all alone. We are in...

We have a 12 week old Gold Sex Link Rooster that we need to rehome and a 12 week old Black sex Link Pullet that we would like to go with him. He is a very sweet boy and my kids have handled him a lot. We dont think the black pullet will do well in our coop with the older ladies so we would...

So- Any advice on what to do now? I have some feelers out now looking for a new home for Mr. Topaz, but what should I do about our leftover single lady? Try to integrate her with the 4 existing 2 yr old hens in the coop? Re-home her along with Mr. Topaz and start over with new chicks? Maybe...

We decided to get sex-link chicks this time around so we wouldn't have to worry about getting a rooster. We have a 10 week old black sex link and a 10 week old gold sex link. We have raised 8 other hens and none of them ever had a comb like this so early (on the gold sex link). I have been...

So I finally got ahold of her to take a look. I'm thinking she is egg bound. Her rear is really pooched out and she is kind of flexing that area like she was trying to lay. She is standing and doesn't seem able to lift her legs up ( like to scratch). She did drink something at least. I have to...

Our two yr old red star Mayzie is refusing to come out of the coop today. She is standing with her eyes closed and feathers puffed up. Her tail is down and her wings are down too. She wouldnt eat the scratch i offered her, and she didnt want to drink. She is only taking a few tentative steps...

a good caption could be... " OW! Who left a banana peel there? "

yes.

That is one purty rooster! Thanks so much.

it's probably just hot. my red sex link does that too, mostly on hot days. It is completely normal.

This is really random, but i am wondering how chickens with different combs get that way??????

My daughter is doing her 5th grade science report on red star (red-sex link) chickens. I am hoping someone has a good picture of male red sex link chicks and an adult red sex link rooster that they would be willing to share with us? We have lots of photos of our red star hen as a chick...

Very cute! Our rabbit got so jealous of the chickens free ranging that she started escaping her outdoor run several times a day. We let her out to run around the yard and she follows the chickens around now. She even goes back in her run when we put the chickens back in their run.

Aawwww- so adorable. I ws only allowed admire the ones at our TSC- we arent get anymore this year, but they are so darn cute. I think I spent 20 minutes just looking at all the chicks! BTW- our chipmunk EE chick turned into a pullet with lovely green eggs!
