    Identify rooster

    I guess I should have been more clear in my initial post but I was trying to be quick. The chick photos are not of the rooster. The photos of the chick are of a chick that he fathered. The rooster in the last photo is what I'm trying to identify.

    Identify rooster

    I don't. That's what I'm trying to identify. I know the chick is probably brahma (maybe cochin) from the hen. But I don't know what the rooster is at all and I'm trying to identify his breed mainly. Someone was telling me he might be a Japanese Bantam/Millie Fleur cross. He kinda looks like a...

    Identify rooster

    I have no idea what breed this rooster is, I inherited him from my cousin that was moving to another city. Well, we had a single chick hatch out from a clutch and he's the only rooster so I'm trying to figure out what the chick might end up looking like. The chick is either from one of my dark...

    Tips on growing sunflowers...

    Sunflowers do have a taproot and their root system can grow up to 4 ft deep. I imagine the larger the plant the longer the taproot.

    Calling all Gluten Free Bakers

    What places have you tried? I'm not too familiar with the stores in Pennsylvania. Walmart should carry it in a gluten free section, whole foods if you have one, fred meyer/kroger stores should carry it, and safeway/carrs should as well. It's usually in the gluten free sections. Bob's red mill is...

    Does shooting the fox fix the problem?

    My sister had a raccoon grab a rooster through the wire and try to kill it. I think he ended up losing the wing but he lived. But yeah, if the holes are big enough for them to fit their paws or snout through then they can probably still kill them. It wouldn't take much to run some hardware cloth...

    Leg broke by hip possibly

    So I think she may have just sprained both legs really badly. She seems to have resolved it on her own. When I went to go put her in a chicken sling she had both legs tucked underneath her and had started to scoot around. So since she was starting to get kind of depressed being cooped up at...

    Somewhat new to chickens

    Moffat is a little more accustomed to chickens (my sister has a video of a chicken eating out of the puppy food with the puppies when they were about 3 or 4 months old). Lenore can't be trusted so much with them. Maybe if shes supervised but she thinks they're fun to hunt and definitely can't be...

    Leg broke by hip possibly

    I went and felt her. I couldn't feel any swelling or bones sticking out in weird spots. It's not hot, unusually or anything in the area or in her legs either. I noticed the foot that had the swelling, she has that leg tucked underneath and she has the other leg sticking out behind her. I wonder...

    Leg broke by hip possibly

    So a couple weeks ago one of my brahma hens injured herself coming off the perch. I've since removed the perch, too high. She just lays there with one leg extended behind her. We thought it may have been bumblefoot at first since the side of her foot was swollen so we drained that spot, her leg...

    Somewhat new to chickens

    Hi, I'm kind of new to chickens but have been around them for a while. My sister has had some unique breeds for a while that I've helped her with and it made me interested in having my own for egg production. I have 5 girls and a rooster; 3 dark brahma hens, 1 buff orpington hen, and 1...
