    sebright thread

    Hi all I thought I would jump in and introduce myself I picked up my 6 silver sebrights from the feed store yesterday. I think I have 2 roos and 4 pullets, does anyone know if the wing feathers indicate gender like it does in most standard sized chickens? I love all the pictures of the little...

    All pullets?

    Ahh thanks for that bit of info. That explains the male ratio, funny thing is as more time goes by that little brown one is looking like a pullet. I will wait a few weeks and take new pics of them to update. Mine were just over a year old, the lady I got my Roo from said he hatched July of...

    All pullets?

    The color variety is why I fell in love with the EE. I have 20 hens and can tell each and every one of them apart. I have one with a red head, but she has a black stripe down the center of her head. The barred one along with the little black one are developing a narrow curling tail which...

    Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

    Thank you, I agree with you on the black one with red shoulders, I thought weeks ago the one that has barring and a very large comb was also a cockerel. But the brown one I have always thought was a pullet I was wanting it to be a him, and I still feel it is a pullet. Other than it's coloring...

    All pullets?

    Sorry that you feel I cross posted the same pictures. If you look at them only one is truly the same picture, and this is why I rarely post stuff or come to forums. People getting snippity over stuff.

    Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

    I asked this in another spot then found this. I have 4 chicks I hatched out 9 weeks ago. I am pretty sure one is a roo but I can't decide on what the other 3 are... the parents are ee moms, with dad being a barred rock and arucana mix (that is what I was told I think it is EE and BR) Here...

    All pullets?

    Sorry I don't come on here that often and I knew that there was a forum just for asking that, but for some reason I could not find it. How would I move the post? or should I just make a new one over there. The brown one why do you say it is a cockerel? I have several hens with similar...

    How much would you trust a first time broody?

    I had an EE go broody on me back in late July early August. I figured what the heck and put 6 eggs under her (I have 2 roos) 5 of the 6 incubated, 4 survived hatch. She was hatched July 2012, so this was her first time and the only one that has ever shown signs of broodiness. Also broodiness...

    All pullets?

    Hi all! I thought I would know by now if I had a cockerel in my bunch of chicks that I hatched out. They have a hatch date of Aug 20th so they are 9 weeks old today. When they were first hatched I did the wing feather sexing and thought they were all pullets, but I thought that was odd for...

    Milk flush for coccidiosis

    I am on day 3 of the flush, and other than the chicks having milk stuck to their beaks they are acting fine. I have not seen bloody poop in the brooder since the one chick on Saturday night. I would rather flush their little systems now before I start having sick chicks and loose the whole...

    Milk flush for coccidiosis

    I have tetracycline but my research says it does nothing for cocci. I cleaned the brooder, made the flush (without bran since I could not find bran locally) and that is all my remaining chicks have. I have not seen bloody poop, nor did I see any bloody poop while cleaning the brooder...

    Milk flush for coccidiosis

    Hate to just jump in. I found this post while searching what could have been wrong with one of my broilers. I have 11 chicks ranging in age from almost 5 weeks to almost 3 weeks( bought from feed store on a Wed so probably hatched on Mon or Tues). They have all seemed fine until last night...

    What would it be called?

    Yes it is the same roo, and I agree it is an EE. I saw that beard and the pea comb and knew he was an EE, I do think he was an EE crossed with a BR, only because his legs are green and white But having the beard and pea comb most likely means he will throw that blue egg gene. Plus his barring...

    What would it be called?

    I finally got him! He sure is a pretty boy. I think his comb is rose, might be pea

    What would it be called?

    @SlipsWife My first 14 pullets 12 of them came from Ideal, I also ordered a male sexed and marked. I was sent 13 (one of which didn't make it) pullets, I do know how to sex them by wing feathers and double checked the whole flock when they arrived. I could never find the one with the mark on...

    What would it be called?

    I am very rural and 70 miles is the closest town, that is where I go to get my hatchery chicks, feed, etc. I travel there every 2 weeks (sometimes more often) to do most of my shopping. I think the biggest thing is I want to make sure I keep the blue/green eggs going in my flock. Color wise I...

    What would it be called?

    She says an Arcucana, rumpless with tufts, said the roo does not have tufts.

    Molting question

    I have had mine on a high protein diet for a couple of months (my chickens were plucking each others feathers) right now they are in a 20% layer, and I supplement with BOSS and oat sprouts, fodder, scratch, and I feed them back eggs on occasion. To me it seems their feathers are almost back...
