The one you can see fully is a chantecler X, she isn't as small as she looks, she's further back from the roo, but he is quite large, 7 lbs and really fluffy.

No, I won't be crossing, I'll move the pair to breeding runs when I start hatching. But, those are not pullets, those are at least 2 years old, he's just so big

Hello, just got a pair of dark brahma's, I'm so in love with them, they hatched April 28/14, so just under 7 months old. My girl is 5lbs and my boy is 7lbs, is this on par with where they should be? Here's my boy.

What kind of treatment can I try?

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Easter Eggers, there are a few with the symptoms. They are three years old, just finishing a molt. These birds are new to me, brought them home two nights ago. 2) What is the behavior...

Hello New to the site, and chicken keeping in general. I acquired a flock when I moved into my new place, 13 mixed hens. I'm in love with chickens, and so have purchased 7 more (since learned they are red sex-linked). So now I'm running two flocks (the old birds were very hard on the new...
