I thought so too. Such a shame we have 4 can do cameras &. Trail camera and nothing definitive was seen. One place we didn't have it aimed was the run because we had to move that camera. I thought that was just his back and head was ripped off but it's still attached just chewed up horribly and...
What killed my rooster? Tons of feathers in the run, some around the yard but he was found 20-30 feet up the hill out the door if the run. We aren't sure when it happened because we were out of town and my mother-in-law was taking care of them. My husband found him today when he went home but it...
A light yellow. 3 of the big guys have light yellow and the biggest one with the most impressive sickle feathers and a touch of copper/red color in his hackle feathers has mostly yellow but some greyish black on the bottom of his feet. He is pictured here
Thank you! I had read about the feet and have had a hard time telling if they're truly yellow or not. I also read that AL has five points on their comb and JG has six and I have one of the 5 that has a slightly different comb than the others. The one that died definitely had pink soles on her...
Black Australorp or Jersey Giant? 22-23 weeks. Roo, right? Bought 2 Australorps & 4 Jersey Giants but can't tell them apart. I'm only sure one crows. He has such a grumpy face for being such a nice quiet giant guy.

Black Australorp or Jersey Giant? 22-23 weeks. Hen or roo? Bought 2 Australorps & 4 Jersey Giants but can't tell them apart. I'm only sure one crows. This one has a different shaped comb than the other three.
Oh, thank goodness to that. She has never crowed and everyone loves her so much. She was sold to me as a set of 5 black onyx chickens but as the other ones lost their fluff and kept growing she didn't. So it was a wonderful little surprise and my son just turned 4 so "fluffy" is by far the...
The 4 jersey Giants I bought were from TSC and the rest were from Rural King. I think the small one is some kind of blue egg layer but I don't remember the breed and I lost my notes. I have two and they can take flight really well and feel like their bodies are lighter than my silkie. All black...
I had seen & heard at least one of the bigger black ones crowing and mounting my hens but can't figure out which it is. I currently have two which I definitely think are roos in the pics still in the hurricane quarters (small spurs seem to be growing & they have much more prominent sickle...
We got a mix of chickens and need help identifying them because some are so similar. Jersey Giants, Black Australorps, some tiny black chickens that can fly pretty well with white/blue earlobes, and we got surprised with a black silkie but we don't know if it's a hen or roo. They are all 22-23...
Ok great!!! And thank you so much for the super fast reply because I wanted to let her rest until tomorrow and then cook her since I butchered her today. She was one of my 7 month old layers who had an unfortunate encounter with one of my American Bulldogs so I thought it most humane to stop...
I do have a question about processing birds for you all. In between the skin and the meat there is this clear kind of gelatinous stuff that you can pull away. What is that? Is that like fascial or myofascial tissue or the birds water stores or something because it wasn't fat or anything like...
