I know all 3 of these are roosters, I got them the other day. 2 of them look exactly alike. What breeds might I have here? All have single combs, but the black ones have slate colored legs.
Ok so I got three roo's today. They are about 20 weeks old. One of them has a crooked toe, which does not effect his walking or anything like that, it just kind of bothers me. Would a splint on it straighten it out, or is it to late for that?
Ok so the 2 that are feathered a lot more are bantam, but what kind and color...and I know they are young if you have a guess on the gender please help!!

Ok so my mommy buff has 5 more eggs to hatch they are due tomorrow. Tonight I went to check on her and she was standing up over her nest like she needed to lay an egg. So i looked in the back and sure enough missy is trying to lay an egg, but it appeared to be more than a tight fit!! I rushed...
ok a few days ago one of the eggs got cold, I chanced it and put it back under her. This morning she had pushed it out of the nest, so is this normal? Also last night she got up and didn't have her regular large BM, it was quite watery and loose, is she ok? Thanks girls & guys!!
My beloved rooster Kernal died this morning..He seemed sluggish yesterday so I gave him 0.5 ML of 200 MG of Tylan. When my husband went to burry him he picked him up by the feet and lots of Mucus came out? Any Ideas. Whatever it was killed him quick yesterday he was up walking around and this...
So really, just how rare is this breed. I know that EE's are everywhere but how many people really have the true blooded Americana's. I currently have a white and a wheaten, both of which are hens. I am thinking about getting into breeding and was thinking about one of the Americana lines. Some...
My breeder called it "sour crop" and filled her full of water and forced it back out...now its much smaller and harder. I used olive oil and massaged, she is also being kept in her own pen with only water any other tips? please help she seems very weak
We are soon to have babies running around with a momma Buff Orpington. We have a BLRW rooster, that mated with our RIR, Buff Orpington, Welsummer, and SLW hens. So to say the least we will have a few runts running around. LOL I am excited to see what kind of coloring they may have. Is there any...
My only EE hens crop is almost the size of a softball. It is not hard at all, very soft actually. My chickens free range all day and coop at night. It has been the same the past few days and is not really going down at nighttime. She is foraging by herself most of the day, which is a little...
Hello all I have a Buff that apparently wants to be a mommy

Got a momma Buff that went broody a few days ago and I decided to let her sit on them. We have 10 other hens and 1 rooster. The rooster does not like to be touched, but is extremely good to his girls as well as our family. My question is, will the Buff fend for her chicks or will I need to put...
She has broke 2 eggs already, there are 7 left is this to big of a clutch? Is breaking eggs normal? I've had these chickens since they were babies but this is the first time I've let one set, only because of her perservence. She is VERY protective of her nest, and she only gets down once a day...
We have a BLRW that we believe to be a cockeral. The saddle feathers are definately pointy. The comb is extremely red, but the waddles are only about an 1/8 of an inch long. This chicken constantly is fighting with our other 2 known roo's. They are all around 20 weeks. No one is crowing or...
