Today we noticed that our barnevelder is missing feathers on the back of her neck. She hasn't been laying even though we have artificial lighting going, and she's a winter layer breed. She's 30 weeks old, to young to molt... Right???
We also noticed the tiniest drop of blood. can't see it in...
I have 6 chickens laying right now and yesterday only 2 of them layed. Today only 1 layed. They were all 3 different hens. Is it winter now??? Are chickens going to stop laying now?
Thanks!
Hi! Got a friend who has 4 chickens and got 5 eggs one day. They check there egg box everyday. Is it possible that one of there chicks layed 2 eggs?
Thanks!
My black australorp who just started laying decided to lay in the coop. My other 3 layers lay in the nest box though. Anyone know how to get a chicken to start laying in a nest box?
Thanks!
Hi! I was wondering what you can feed to ur chicks at 1 week old beside water, and starter feed. Can I feed them grit, and worms, and salad? I know at 3 weeks people start to feed them fruit and yogurt, and I know whatever you feed them the main part of their diet has to be the starter feed...
Hi! Wondering if anyone knows about white marans and golden cuckoo marans. My question is: What breed has feathers [or as a chick, fluff] on it's legs/feet. Do both or only one?
Thanks!
It doesn't look 2 much alike but it's feet and tail look the same. That's it. [talking about the first picture you showed when you started this thread.]
should I post a picture of my bird?
Hi! Got these chicks today from mypetchicken.com. I bought the rare marans collection and bought 3 birds. Sadly 1 died in the mail but I was wondering if you could help me tell what breeds they are. Bought them as girls, if you think ones a roo please let me know!!!
These are the breeds they...
What type of maran is it? A black copper marans I guessing? Had a rooster of that breed. Did not start crowing early though. Started crowing at 20 weeks. Girls barely have any copper color though.
Um I'm not sure that's an EE. It looks totally like my Ameraucana hen. If it has those cheek feathers and the pea comb, most likely its a ameraucano.
How old is it?
I know it's super rare to have a golden buff rooster that's actually golden, but I think I might have one. It's so much bigger then the other golden buff hens, and these last couple of days I've been hearing sounds that sound like crows. I really can't tell by his walk since it has a limp, but...
Oops sorry about that. Your right the buff orpington isn't a sex link. I got a little mixed up. Though if she's a golden bluff and she's golden it's a she right??? They were making some funny sounds but I now expect that it probably has something to do with there starting to lay. Just got our...
