She is different than the other 2. We believe the day that we got them, they also had either lavendar orphingtons or blue...

    Any guesses on this breed? And sex?

    Are there guidelines for how to quarantine a chicken, meaning is there an end to the quarantine? Can you ever tell that a chicken doesnt have a disease or parasites? Or are you suggesting that we permanently keep her away from the other chickens? If permanent, then I gues I might just put her...

    Any guesses on this breed? And sex?

    she has only been here one night. I think she slept on the ground, I didn't see her try to get up in the roost with the other chickens. Today she is out scratching around on the ground like one of the gang, the other chickens don't seem to mind her and she isn't bothering anyone. It will be...

    Any guesses on this breed? And sex?

    This chicken broke into my coop yesterday. Must have escaped from a nearby neighbor, but I don't know who's chicken it is. It is much darker than my buff orphingtons. I think maybe one of the hybrids like red star or red comet or something like that, but I cant find any pictures of them with the...

    Is my chicken broody or is something wrong with her

    :( we just have them for the eggs. I cant have any roosters. so they wont ever be able to hatch anything. I have 8 chickens, only 2 are buff, the others are easter egg, Delaware, barred rock. Hopefully the others aren't as bad.

    Is my chicken broody or is something wrong with her

    pretty much. she isnt quit that noisy, but she is def doing the feather fluffing like that. she fluffs her feathers like that even when I walk near her now, and she was the friendliest hen that I had previously. I guess I will try some of the broody breaking ideas. just want to get an opinion on...

    Is my chicken broody or is something wrong with her

    young buff orph. she has been laying eggs for about 2 months usually 1 per 1.5 days. about a week ago she started puffing up all her feathers like a giant blowfish and guarding the entrance to the coop from the other chickens. In the last 3 days she started staying permanently in the nest box. I...

    Best guess is this a rooster? Did we get scammed?

    Thanks for the reply. They are quarantined, they are the only two we have in the coop/run. The other chicks we have are only 2.5 weeks old and are still in the brooder/run by themselves. As far as our concern about sickness, the smaller one seemed to show signs of sickness about 4 days after we...

    Best guess is this a rooster? Did we get scammed?

    We were told they were 1 year old. I dont know for sure. The one that really looks like a hen is very grey in the beak and comb. I think she looks at least a year. But we dont know.

    Best guess is this a rooster? Did we get scammed?

    First time chicken owner (probably obviously). We purchased 10 chicks, which we are comfortable are girls. But we got impatient and decided we would also buy started chickens, so we could have eggs earlier. Drove several hours and bought these 2 chickens, without knowing anything about them...
