    What's wrong with our chickens?

    Looks like what some roosters do to hens when they are overbreeding them.

    White in sides of eyes

    I just noticed after taking pictures of my birds that two of my roosters have white on the sides of their eyes, and my 3 others don't. The 2 are not related so I'm not sure what this could be. Any ideas? You can kind of see it here on the left part of his eye, and the rooster standing next to...

    I need some help to win a breeding for my Mare!

    I wouldn't ever breed for color because #1, pretty is as pretty does, and #2 its a complete crapshoot! Tessa's sire was black, and she came out palomino just like her dam. I wasn't even a fan of palominos until I bought her mom and it did finally grow on me. I don't think a horse needs to be a...

    I need some help to win a breeding for my Mare!

    to donrae: I appreciate your kindness and tact with your post. I know exactly where your coming from and I don't believe in breeding worthless animals either. I know that some people don't believe in breeding cross bred horses but when breeding for type I don't think breeds matter. They are two...

    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    I have Marans in black, blue, white and Golden Cuckoo. To create splash in my lines, what colors would need to be bred together? Or can you not do that?

    Arizona Chickens

    I put a tarp over the two coops the other day but the water pooled on top of it :( Its so low I can't get one of the doors open, and its too heavy for me to push off. I have to wait til my boyfriend is home from work to rescue the chickens.

    Little Giant - first time incubating, need advice!

    I have the Little Giant incubator with an egg turner but no fan. I have a humidity meter/thermometer inside plus the thermometer it came with. I read on this site that incubators with no fans should run at 102. I have been doing that, I'm on my 3rd day of incubation. I was wondering if other...

    That is no fun :( If you need the number to a good mechanic please let me know, my dad has a shop in Glendale. He does warranty work and out of warranty work and always has the best price around. Hope you get it all sorted out.

    Chicks in the house

    I cleaned my cages/brooders once a day and didn't have an issue with smell. If I missed a day I sure did though, and once they got older they all got kicked outside, because the older they get the smellier they are :)

    2 Month old+ RIR, pullet or cockeral?

    I hope so!! It will be a nice addition to my flock either way... I will probably keep it girl or boy because of its color.

    Post Pics Of Orps/ Orpingtons HERE

    This pullet is 2 months old, and her tail is much different than any of my other birds. I have a Buff Orpington hen but her tail is like my RIR hens tails, not rounded like this pullet. Is this normal or a fault? She was from a feed store and is just a pet, I'm curious though.
