    My 9 month old Black Sex Link hen has cracked her beak - what can we do?

    I am going to try using superglue gel and follow the directions that I found for that method so I can repair her beak. Thanks so much for your reply/help!

    My 9 month old Black Sex Link hen has suddenly been missing days egg laying. What could be the issue

    Hi again, I have one more question to ask. We had suspected that one of our three chickens was actually a rooster, instead of a hen like we were told. We are certain that he is a rooster now though, because he started crowing early this morning. We are not supposed to have roosters in our...

    My 9 month old Black Sex Link hen has suddenly been missing days egg laying. What could be the issue

    Okay thank you. I won't worry then. I just wondered if something was wrong since she has laid an egg every day since June until missing 3 out of the last 5 days this week. She has lived with the other 2 chickens (now 4 months) pretty much since they were old enough to integrate them - we raised...

    My 9 month old Black Sex Link hen has cracked her beak - what can we do?

    My 9 month old black Sex Link hen has cracked her beak - we have no idea how this could've happened. What can we do? She somehow has cracked her beak clear across the top, from one side to the other, about a fourth of the way in from the tip/end of her beak.I don't know how deep the crack is...

    My 9 month old Black Sex Link hen has suddenly been missing days egg laying. What could be the issue

    My 9 month old Black Sex Link hen has suddenly been missing days egg laying. What could be the issue? We haven't changed up feed or snacks (oats & mealworms), but we did recently build a chicken run onto the coop that houses 2 other chickens besides herself..that is the only change. All 3...

    12 week old golden laced wyandotte... genders?

    Thanks, I'll check that out. I also found an video on BYC about training your rooster not to crow. Of course that doesn't solve everything..hopefully he will be a nice rooster to our two hens. And then there's the issue with many chicks being sired, which my husband has no desire to deal...

    12 week old golden laced wyandotte... genders?

    I thought I'd post a few more pictures that I took today in hopes of showing Nugget and Willow's feathers better for determining pullet or cockerel. We're pretty certain Willow's a pullet. Nugget Willow...

    12 week old golden laced wyandotte... genders?

    Thank you for the input on what sex Nugget may be. I've been afraid that it may be the case that she is a he, and we will be really sad if this is so. We cannot have cockerels in our neighborhood. And Willow and Nugget are so closely bonded (Willow almost didn't make it when only 1 month old...

    12 week old golden laced wyandotte... genders?

    We think they are 10-12 weeks. We purchased them from Shopper's Supply the first week in June 2016 and they thought they were a couple weeks old at that point. Now it's the beginning of August, so that would make them 10-12 weeks if the sales clerk was correct. Wish I knew the exact date, but...

    Thank you. I've been afraid that may be the case and if so, we will be really sad. We cannot have Roos in our neighborhood, and Willow and Nugget are so closely bonded (Willow almost didn't make it and I really believe the bond with Nugget is the reason she is still with us), that we will have...

    Hi I asked on another thread, but then saw your thread and thought I'd see what you thought. We haven't hear any suggestions yet on what our two chickens' sexes are and cannot figure it out ourselves easily..this is our first flock and we have two 10-12 week old Wyandottes besides our 8 month...
