    Can chicks be "runts"?

    Thank you! It is acting normal otherwise, just looks kind of funny. So hopefully it'll start catching up!

    Can chicks be "runts"?

    This is probably a stupid question, but can you have a "runt" chick? I bought 2 australorp chicks from TSC and one is just so scraggly looking. It was noticably smaller when I brought them home and it just has not been developing like the other one. They are 4 weeks old now and the one chick is...

    Salmon Faverolles pullet or roo?

    That is very helpful, thank you! I definitely think they are most likely both pullets now. The feathers are definitely not that dark and combs are still small and yellow. :clap

    Salmon Faverolles pullet or roo?

    I just picked these 2 salmon faverolles up yesterday. I think they're around 2-3 weeks old. I was told they're both pullets. What do you think? The one has some darker feathers than the other. So that's the one I'm really questioning.

    Still not laying after molt.

    I have 4 buff Brahma that are 2 and 1/2 years old. They went through a pretty rough molt starting the middle of the summer and stopped laying. I figured no big deal, it's normal and they'll start laying once they're done molting. Well, it's been a few months now, feathers have grown back and...

    Could our rooster have caused this injury? (Pics)

    Awe! I wish he was like that! He's such a jerk. He pushes the girls to try to get to "treats" and takes things from them. I decided to try to push him to the ground this morning just to see how much of a fight he would put up. He immediately just laid there. No fight at all. Also no fight when I...

    Could our rooster have caused this injury? (Pics)

    Thank you! I don't think that was the problem though. It was definitely him. It was healed, just a scar basically. You had to part the feathers to see it. The above pics are from when it first happened.

    Yep! I put her in a crate in the coop this time so she is able to be with the flock a little. The rooster is currently separated from everyone in an unused dog pen until he's dinner. He's very unhappy about it. I told him if he wasn't a jerk this wouldn't have had to happen. LOL!

    Could our rooster have caused this injury? (Pics)

    Well, I came home to find her almost completely scalped. I know it's him now. She was almost fully healed and now we have to start all over. I'm not giving it the chance to sort itself out. In the freezer he goes!!!

    Could our rooster have caused this injury? (Pics)

    They've pretty much all been raised together. This is our first year having chickens. The Brahma (hens) are a little older than the Wyandottes, but only by maybe 6 weeks. We have 6 Brahma, all hens and 3 Wyandottes, 2 hens and 1 rooster. We did have 4 wyandottes but an owl got one of the hens...

    Could our rooster have caused this injury? (Pics)

    I'll look into that, thanks. I don't think we plan on hatching any eggs. Not as of right now anyway. We mainly kept him to protect the girls. A job he currently sucks at! He usually runs away from us and everything else. He's only attacked us a couple of times and it was a sneak attack when our...

    Thank you! He's gotten very full of himself here recently. He tried to attack my husband today. He may not last much longer if he keeps this up. Lol!
