Amazingly, out of my 8 chicks, I think only one is a roo... And he started crowing this morning. Ack. Anyone have any suggestions on rehoming him? I saw that I can post him on this site, but I was just curious what everyone else has done in this situation. All my friends who have chickens...

I've been working on making friends with my chick. I made this video 2 days ago. She was terrified at first, not accustomed to people or handling, but within an hour, we were buddies. Now she gets excited and starts chirping when I make the popping noises. Love her!! (Well, crossing my...

Well good, I'll take your word for it. I'd rather not medicate if I don't have to, so I won't worry about it unless I actually see worms. And I'll definitely try to handle them at night then! I had no idea that about that trick! Unfortunately it's all raining and nasty out tonight, but...

Honestly, I'm confused about that because I was looking through the threads and kept reading mixed opinions on deworming. Some people said that and others said that they do it routinely twice a year. Now I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do. Either way, I wouldn't want to do anything until...

Yes, thank you! Someone else warned me of that too! I've only been able to handle the one chick I have so far (3-4 weeks old) and haven't noticed any on her. I'm still trying to get these girls comfortable around me, so I can't get too close to them to check just yet. Also, while I haven't...

OMG, I'm so sorry!

I'll make sure to post updated photos! And thank you! The dog is my Pit Bull mix, Scrappy.

Nice! I really hope so! Thanks!

Most likely a mixed breed, age unknown. Feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions as to either. But most importantly, I really like this little one and I'm crossing my fingers that it's a pullet. Any ideas?

As long as they're pullets, that's the important part! Thanks!

Got some better pics of my little one yesterday. I'm very very new to the chicken world... but isn't that some interesting coloring on her? (Oh jeez, I REALLY hope it's a HER! lol)

Hi Suzanne! Go back a page! I posted some pictures a little bit earlier!

Well, that takes the fun out of guessing. Being that they were at a racetrack on Long Island, I would more assume the barn chicken population got a bit out of control as opposed to truly feral or from feral stock. Hence, why I said "wild" in quotes. But, I'll leave it at that. In the long...

Two people on another thread said that they looked like Black and Copper Marans. Based on the pictures I looked at, that looks like a pretty good guess to me! This is one of the pics I found:

I have one chicken who is missing a foot. Originally I thought she was possibly in some sort of accident, but then I noticed that her stump seems to have a claw on the end of it, so I guess it's just a deformity. She manages to get around okay, but I'm just curious if anyone else has any...
