    Late Thanksgiving

    Hello, Thanksgiving for my family will be on a Saturday this year, and the turkey we are getting from a local farm is being slaughtered on the 19th. Will it be okay to let the bird rest in the fridge for that week or do I need to make it sooner and find new plans for Saturday the 19th? Thanks...

    I'm inclined to say you have a pretty little girl due to how small her little comb dot is. When my boy was that young he had already had his comb growing more than that

    Hey guys, thanks for your advice and help Unfortunately, my Rhea passed away before I even made it home 😭 My sister was with her when she drew her last breath, so, I take comfort that she wasnt alone.

    Help! 2 year old chicken seems sick?

    My sister just told me that she has a lump in her crop, I'm not sure if they will know when she last laid as eggs dont get checked for until noon or later, and by then they're mostly finished laying. Her eggs look like the other eggs our chickens lay. Also, no new chickens recently, last new...

    Help! 2 year old chicken seems sick?

    Hello all, I'll be able to provide more details tomorrow after I am home and can see with mine own eyes what exactly is going on. However, from my understanding, my 2 year old RIR Rhea is exhibiting some worrying symptoms. She is wheezing and her comb is purple. They dont think it is gape...

    Polish baby male or female?

    Sorry for such a late response, but yes, that is exactly the site I saw, and it was wrong. I don't think I would trust it.

    Polish baby male or female?

    Agreed, much too young. I know you said you read online that females have a rounder poof while males do not. Can I have the link to the site you saw? I'm pretty sure it is the same one that I saw, and I will tell you for a FACT that it is not right. I have a female golden laced polish hen, and...

    Feeling A Bit Discouraged

    I actually tried to construct a temporary run once, for until I could get better materials, and my parents just took it down the next day. So, any work I do will just be undone.

    Feeling A Bit Discouraged

    I actually live two hours away now. And, my sister can only do so much. If she does anything too much, my parents will complain that she is undermining them. And, I get that some people don't view them as pets, I get that. But, just allowing them to be killed? That doesn't seem like very smart...

    Feeling A Bit Discouraged

    I just wish I could get it through their thick skulls that these are live animals, and they that must be treated with the same care and respect as any other animal! When we bought them, we didn't buy them for meat. Yeah, for egg-laying, but we still were making an unspoken promise to care for...

    Feeling A Bit Discouraged

    I apologize for the length of this post. I am fed up with this situation. Absolutely fed up with it. So, if this is a rant, I'm sorry. I feel like when you purchase a chicken, no matter your intentions, you should be willing to give it the best life possible and to care for it as such. Now...

    Daisy or George?

    How old are they? Though they both look like pullets to me

    Hen or Roo (White Leghorn)

    I agree, this is a pullet. At 19 weeks old, you would be seeing saddle feathers (albeit, a bit harder because the color, haha). And I'm sure you would have heard a crow by now. But the saddle area seems to be full of nice round feathers, judging by her comb. She's getting close to the...

    hen or rooster golden laced wyandotte

    After the lovely example of a GLW cockerel, I'd have to agree you have a pretty little pullet! I love the GLW's, they're so pretty to look at :) Congrats!

    Speckled Sussex 11 weeks Hen or Roo?

    I'm going to say cockerel. Those feet are huge! I can't clearly see the saddle area in the pictures, but that comb looks a little big to be an 11-week old pullet. Keep us updated with pictures, and good luck for it being a pullet if you don't want a cockerel :) Though, I really do think...

    Help identify

    They are so cute when they grow up, but they can be hard to sex. I have a pullet that people were convinced was a cockerel for the longest time due to her hairdo! They are very sweet too, ours is calm enough to just sit in our lap for the longest of time, but she can be shy too. Good luck, and...
