    My Lavender Orpingtons are 24 weeks and haven't started laying.

    Their crest and waddles are quite red (except parts by their ears are still pale) and the weather here has been nice. There has been less daylight though. Could it be nutrition or are they just not ready yet?

    Should I treat my flock for cocci even even if I'm not sure any of them have it?

    Thank you :)

    Should I treat my flock for cocci even even if I'm not sure any of them have it?

    I have been seeing what I believe to be an abnormal amount of red droppings from one of my 12 week old pullets droppings (I believe I know which pullet is producing them... not sure) I've only had them for a little while (4 days) and I first noticed it the second night I went to check their...

    How to de worm pullets?

    I live in northern AL :) Also should I still be on the look out for coccidiosis if they DON'T have any other symptoms of being lethargic, not eating or drinking, and have been on medicated chick feed? Thank you again

    How to de worm pullets?

    Very true! We do indeed plan to get more :) at the moment we just have the seller at the time only had two hens. Do you know where I can order Valbazen online or find it? Thank you very much :)

    How to de worm pullets?

    I have just bought two 11 week old Orpington pullets and they are my first chickens. I check their poop everyday which is easy because there are two of them. This night though they slept pretty near each other and I couldn't decide who's poo was who's. They occasionally have red in their poo (I...

    Please tell me this is a hen

    He/She actually looks more like a hen to me. Her crest isn't large for 5 months and her saddle feathers are actually very round. I don't see any sickle feathers either. Hope I could help. Wait for more replies and see what others have to say.

    Hi, Im new, and I want to know what you think about my chicken (is it male or female, what breed)

    Welcome! I'm pretty new as well. It definitely looks like a male with such a red comb and wattles. It looks sorta like a black australorp. I'm not 100% sure on the breed but I'm pretty sure on the gender :)

    2 of our chicks are boys

    I am so so sorry to hear that. It is so easy to get attached to chickens (especially when you raise them from the begging). We had to teach my little sis that it is never 100%on the gender until the crow or lay. I'm glad you get to rescue hens tough :) rescuing is the best and you know 100% they...

    Attempting to crow, yawning, stretching, or something else?

    They do have a habit of eating large pieces of grass and sometimes feathers... haha thanks for the reply ;)

    Attempting to crow, yawning, stretching, or something else?

    Thank you I appreciate it! I just got them 2 days ago and I'm so attached and constantly worrying about something happening to them or them being a roo... worrying just takes the fun out of having them while you have them though :) I'm going to continue my research as a new chicken owner :)...

    Attempting to crow, yawning, stretching, or something else?

    my lavender Orpingtons so far look like pullets. They are 11 weeks and have small pale crest and no wattles. I went out to refill their water, I look up, and one of them has their neck stretched and beak open... but absolutely no noise came out!! I was terrified. I cannot have a roo (I love...

    When do lavender Orpington pullets start to get a red crest and wattles? When do cockerels start to

    Heh heh sorry I am being paranoid :S it honestly was more of a stretch and yawn than anything... just caught me off guard haha. Here are some pics- I actually heard it's common for that "silent crowning" behavior in chickens. Like its a stretching maneuver. Also something was mentioned...

    When do lavender Orpington pullets start to get a red crest and wattles? When do cockerels start to

    While I was attempting to get a picture one of them stretched it neck and opened its mouth O-O did it attempt to crow? O-O no noise came out... bunt now I'm suspicious... could have just been yawning?
