Wow, thanks for your help. Somewhere I was reading that leg color could help identify and it was referring to white chickens...I just can't remember where I saw that explanation. Anyway, the first photo chicken (White Rock?) (possible Jersey) has yellow legs. The other chicken has tan"ish"...

Hello, I have two white chickens which (I'm pretty sure) are not the same breed. They are both females--one 5 months old and one 3 months old. I've attached photos of them. Only one photo of the 5 month old girl and three photos of the 3 month old girl. Thanks, Judith

Thanks for your response. No, the chickens have not been vaccinated for Marek's. I just learned about it while reading all the posts on this site--lots for me to learn. I finally had to have him put down because he was so bad--a good friend came over and took him away and took care of it so I...

Hello, I'm new to chickens so I would appreciate all the help I can get. Sunday morning I found my 4 month old bantam rooster on his back, legs flailing around, and his head/neck curled around in a terrible position. He was flapping one wing and pushing one leg, but was not able to stand at...

Hello neighbor from Cocoa, Florida IF your wood door is a standard size exterior door you can buy an inexpensive wood screen door from Lowes. That's what we did to make more ventilation in our coop. Lowes has two wood screen doors that are lower priced: $18.00 for one very basic and $36 for a...

I love your coop and the pallets idea. I'm interested in building a structure out of pallets for an additional shelter/coop for my bantams. I was wondering how to make the pallet solid wood instead of the every other board open. Did you take wood from another pallet and add it to make a solid...

Hello, another newbie question. My 4 month old bantam hen laid 15 eggs during the very cold weather in central florida last month. Out of the 15 two chicks hatched and I finally got rid of the remaining eggs as she was not interested in them after the two chicks hatched. THe chicks are a week...

Hey ya'll, Add me (the chicken newbie) to your list. I live in N. Cocoa, Florida (that's central/east coast about 12 miles from Cocoa Beach). I have been reading about all the Florida members--WOW! I'm very new to keeping chickens and have tons of questions. Is there anyone else near Cocoa...

Quote: Hello and thanks for the welcome to you all. I did post two photos of bantams???? What are they???

again, thank you all for helping identify the little chicken. My bantam rooster has been "romancing" her for a couple of weeks now, so I wonder if she will start to lay eggs. I'm not sure what kind of bantam he is either. I can't believe how much there is to know about chickens!!!! It's...

Hello, I've pasted the outline you provided to help me introduce ourselves. I'll add some comments at the end. 1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Very new to chickens, got our first 5 chickens three months ago. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? We have...

Hello again, thank you all for helping identify the little chicken. I have posted another request for ID.

Hello, I am very new to raising chickens and have much to learn. My little bantam hen (about 4 months old) produced 15 eggs. She is not very big and I was surprised with so many eggs. Well, she set on the eggs and three days ago a chick hatched and two days ago a second chick hatched. Since...
