    24 weeks and not a single egg

    My chickens are 24 weeks now, and I haven't gotten a single egg yet. I have several different breeds, and I know some take longer than others, but I was expecting at least a few to have started by now. They all have nice bright red combs and wattles now, and look as healthy as can be. And they...

I haven't had chickens in a few years but I don't remember them eating so much! I toss them greens every day, and leftovers and fruit several times per week. They...

    10 week silver grey dorking

    Is this a cockerel? I'm assuming yes because of the big red comb, but the coloring compared to photos I've seen are making me doubt myself. Do the white feathers on the back come later? I'm just not familiar with this breed at all. Thanks! And sorry about the blurry photos, he likes to keep his...

    B.Y.C. Dorking Club!

    Hi, I'm very excited to have gotten a silver grey Dorking as my free rare chick! I'm hoping its female so I can keep it. I've noticed that the hens and roos have very different feather patterns, can you tell by the color feathers coming in what the gender is, or do they both start out similar...

    vaccination and medicated feed

    So I have chicks coming from the hatchery this week and I checked the box to have them vaccinated for coccidiosis. I bought their feed and just realized I got medicated. I know it will nullify the vaccine, but is that the worst it will do? Its not going to kill or hurt them right?

    2 week old Amauracanas. Hen or rooster?

    The combs on the males will be larger and redder, sometimes you can't tell until they start crowing though. They are really cute! My easter egger was so sweet and loved to cuddle :) I'm kicking myself for not ordering any this time around....might have to make a trip to the feed store ;)

    2 week old Amauracanas. Hen or rooster?

    Its too early to tell. Usually you can start to tell around 6 weeks, but easter eggers are harder to tell between m/f than other breeds. Also, they look much younger than two weeks, two days maybe? http://www.plumjam.com/poultry/breeds/ee-colors4.cfm

    Most friendly chicken breeds

    My friendliest chicken was a RIR rooster. He liked to perch on my shoulder and be petted. Unfortunately I had to give him away (he was supposed to be a she). I also had an Australorp and easter egger that were very friendly.
