    Roo or hen silkie

    This silkie is 9 weeks. Is it a roo or a hen? I have three others who are about five weeks. Can you tell at that age? These are my first silkies.

    Help! I don't know what she is!

    She isn't laying yet. She is too busy doing everything she can to get out of the coop!

    Help! I don't know what she is!

    Thank you! She is dark for a buff. The pic was taken in the morning and that is exactly the color she is. We have a buff Orpington and she is much darker and redder. So I guess she is a red?

    Help! I don't know what she is!

    [/IMG] Can someone tell me what this little girl is. She is so tiny and doesn't seem to get any bigger. My daughter found her running around in a park and we couldn't find the owner so we took her home. She is very sweet but my daughter wants to show her at the fair. I realized I have no...

    Unexpected Dead Chicken

    I have had the same thing happen the past month. I went out to get my eggs and one of my girls (who is a bit over two years) was dead on the floor of the coop. She seemed totally fine before. Now yesterday one of my leghorns went into the coop to roost but it was too early for bedtime. I...

    Tips on rehoming a rooster?

    The SPCA charges you to drop off. They told me $75.00. I mean I can't imagine too many people coming and paying the SPCA fees to adopt the chicken-my guess is most of them get euthanized anyway. I was in the same boat as you. Frankly I was a bit irked that the company sent us "extras" for...

    Tips on rehoming a rooster?

    Hi there! Unfortunately the people we gave our rooster to happen to have just lost one. I wish they had a huge farm where they could take more. But I don't have the contact info for them anyway. If not for the aggression mine was showing I may have kept him. The neighbors were making...

    Roosting in trees-again

    I knocked them out of the tree numerous times. Now they just roost higher where I can't get them. I have given up. It is only my leghorns. I had five and lost one last week and am down to four. I was thinking that now that is getting cold they would go in the coop but no they stay there no...

    Chickens laying eggs in a planter box! Not their nesting boxes-help!

    Yeah-we are building a fence so they will only have half of the backyard because they have been hanging out on the patio and goat pen which I don't want. Our back yard is big but not huge by any means. So there is not too many places to hide eggs. But the fence won't be done for a month or two...

    Chickens laying eggs in a planter box! Not their nesting boxes-help!

    My chickens just started laying eggs. Problem is they are laying eggs in a planter and not their nesting boxes. My chickens are free range. They have a hen house-problem is only some of them will sleep in the coop. It has been a huge struggle to get them out of the tree. Including putting...

    Hen or Rooster?

    We got rid of our rooster. But this "lady" looks weird to me. She doesn't crow or act aggressive but her comb is bigger than the others. "She" is a bit over 5 months.
