    No. oddly enough when she was a chick, all her down was dark chocolate all around. then her feathering came in and shes black and white. go figure. however the avatar chick is Megatron, my EE rooster. He was the runt of the flock and he turned out being the prettiest of all 5 of my cockerels.

    Question: Ultrasonic Pest Repeller on Ducks...

    They're scams. They don't work. Stay away. Remove all food and water overnight. leave just enough Dcon out for the rats to eat overnight but not leave any in the morning. Repeat every night for a few nights. Rats gone!

    Chickens dying rapidly--Flystrike?

    But with fly strike the birds would show signs of sickness and change of behavior It's not something that happens suddenly. Is there any entry point at all. Even as small as a 1/2 inch? There's lots of critters that could surprisingly fit in real small spaces and do major damage. Has there...

    Chickens dying rapidly--Flystrike?

    Predator. No doubt about it. How are they secured and I take it they free range during the day?

    Best guess at who laid these eggs?

    yeah the light brown/pink ones is the barred rocks. the brown is the ISA. witnessed both hens lay them. guessing the speckled is the black sex link. still waiting to see what the EE does.

    How to stop a rooster from crowing?

    Oh ok. well that does clear up some then. :) Im in NC and we have rules like that here too, sorta. Im outside the town limits so it doesnt really matter, but i did speak with neighbors first before i acquired our rosster and they were very cool with it. so i guess just check with yours too...

    How to stop a rooster from crowing?

    You can't stop a rooster from crowing. Doesn't matter if there's other males or not. It's a rooster. They crow. That's what they do. You can use a collar but it's more of a hassle than not. Also keep in mind he's sweet now. But once he matures 9 out of 10 will not be sweet and will take on...

    Easter Egger club!

    thanks June!!! Well my choice roo is exactly what you said here. Cautious but not aggressive. Moves when I'm near almost out of respect. Watches the girls already. Warns them when there's danger and keeps them all in line. Plus is the first to respond to treats or threats. Guess he's the...

    Easter Egger club!

    My EE's are 9 weeks old. Out of my 5 Roos. None are aggressive towards us humans. One is really sweet and actually likes us and is very very smart. About what age should I look out for them thinking they're the top dog around here instead of me. I'm rehoming 2 today and holding back 3. To see...
