This chicken is a barnyard cross of a Road Island Red hen and a Barred Rock rooster. The chick was hatched in September. All the other chickens hatched at the same time are clearly hens laying eggs or roosters that are Crowing. This chicken makes a sound like a cat meowing. I assumed this...
~~Hi all! I am curious how you maintain your flock health. I have had chickens a little over a year. My chickens are free range during the day and locked up in a coop at night until we build a proper coop where they can be contained all the time. Unfortunately, the new chicks that I had gotten...
This looks just like my Lakenvelder chick. I can not tell from the photo what the gender is. My male Lakenvelder was obvious compared to the other chicks.
We let a broody hen hatch out some babies and we got some roosters from that hatch. We are planning on eating the roos. At what age should we process them? They are Turkens and Barred rock mixes. Thank you for your reply.

Hi Chicken friends! I hope you all had a fantastic holiday! I have a question for you. I have 15 adult birds and 18 birds that are almost 3 months old. I want to know, how much and how often do you feed your birds. Mine are free range until we get the next coop built that will have an...
Turken babies. 17 days old and I know that is much to young to tell for sure but I am selling 1/2 of my chicks and don't want to leave myself with out any pullets. Can you give me your thoughts? Some have the pointy tail, others have the rounded smooth bottom. If I need better photos, please...
