    Barred Rock Takes Flight.

    I have a barred rock pullet, about 20 weeks, who just made it on top of the 7 foot fence surrounding the run this morning. Should that even be possible? I made the fence this high so this would not happen. I don't really want to deal with wing clipping but am not opposed it it. Would...

    Easter Egg 8 week TSC Chickens?!? Help Please?

    The bus to freezer camp leaves tomorrow. Any last hope of these two being hens, or should they be on there way too? They are about 10 weeks old now. On a side note, what is the deal with the comb on the dark one. It is not the same as the rest of the easter eggers? Any reason for that, or...

    Easter Egger confirmed to be a roo - 9 week EE/RIR mix - lots of pics

    When you say "red coming through," are the circles what you are talking about. Thanks, sorry to reopen an old thread but I'm trying to figure this out.

    Easter Egg 8 week TSC Chickens?!? Help Please?

    Ok, I think I pretty much understand what everyone is looking at in the comb, but I am completely missing what to look for in the colors when sexing these EEs. Thanks for any help.

    Easter Egg 8 week TSC Chickens?!? Help Please?

    The beak started showing around 2 weeks and has gotten a bit worse every week, and now has seemed to stabilize. He makes a mess eating but seems to do it well enough. I've experimented with adding feed to yogurt and he seems to like that as well. On a side note, since I might have a hard...
