hard to tell, but what i’m seeing is two females look at there tails if there rounded their females, if the tails are more like making a curve it’s a male.
if one of your chickens are brooding and is just staying there i would recommend just to move it to a separated place that’s dark and quiet are the eggs fertilized? if they are not you can take the eggs out and that would most likely solve your problem
looks to be a mix of a silkie and a drizzle chicken the other one looks to be like my easter egg breed chicken that looks to be cross breed with a frizzle chicken too
looks to be a hen, look at the tail it’s rounded that shows it’s a hen, long threads kinda are a showing that it’s a rooster, in this case your chicken is a hen.
You may put the heat lamp out but i recommend they should be 3 weeks or 4 to be 100% safe, just have a spot where they can cool down and one spot where’s the heat lamp is.
my cochin has been losing feathers her her neck area and the coop is a lot of feathers, and there’s no injuries to her, does this mean she’s just shedding if that’s possible?
my whole flock had this, this might sound cruel but what we did was we cut half of garlic and stuff it down her throat, i know it sounds cruel but it’s every effective trust me i used the it everyday and the chicken would stop gasping in like 2 or 3 days
when i was on vacation my friend texted me about one chicken going missing, i found a bunch of feathers near their dust bathe spot so what predator would do this? There’s no blood or anything.
update: i am back on my vacation, we’ve asked my friend to watch them and she did a good job on that, she refilled the waters and let them out of 3 hours daily thanks for the feedback though it helped a lot!!
We found someone to only get the eggs for our chickens, i’ll try to convince her to check the waters day by day and refill if all are empty, i’m going to the store to buy more 5 gallons!!
We are going out of the country and i’m worried that the chickens don’t have enough water and food, we have two 50 pound feeders and are filled all the way up, we have one 5 gallon water, a 1 gallon one and a 1.5 gallon one, we house 10 chickens about 10 months old, we can’t find anyone to take...
Haha! good point but they scream most of the time in the woods and they would be just laying down or just staring at a tree every fraustintg, but i think they understand my pain today they haven’t screamed at all and i’m not complaining
