I have 2 6 week old chicks but I’m not sure about the silver one. I believe it’s a rooster but not sure. It’s slightly larger and has a huge neck and longer legs than the buff. Any help would be great.
I picked up some chicks this weekend and the lady said they were about 1-2 weeks old but I think they are older because some look like they have new feathers in. Anyway I have them in my office in a pack n play and hubby says they need to go because they smell( I think hes making it up, I've...
Looking for good layers but not broody hens. I am in a subdivision so I cant have roosters. The color of egg laid does not matter to me. I have looked at some of the hatcheries but would like to buy locally if possible, not to sure I want to buy from the chick days around here.
Thank you for the reply. Good thing I have them for their craziness and not the eggs. I took them from a friend who had to many and new from the start they would not lay well.
Question. I have 2 Polish that stopped laying almost 3 weeks ago they did molt 2 weeks ago. They are only a year old so not old, should they start laying again soon? Eat fine, act fine and nothing wrong that I can see.
Question?? I have 2 Polish and a few other chickens and about 3 weeks ago the Polish stopped laying they did molt but I know they haven't laid since. They eat fine and are acting normal, no change in the temp here so any help would be welcome.

Does anyone else's Silkies need their toenails trimmed? I have 3 Silkies and a few Polish & Plymoths but theirs are fine. I have doe trimmers just wasn't sure.
Help!! My Silkie hen that I have is 10 months old and is now broody for the 4th time. I have noticed she has lost or pulled a lot of feathers off her chest/stomach area, is this normal? I go out a few times a day and move her off nest to outside with others but she has still lost weight. She...
So excited! Miss Tina Turner laid her first egg today. Went out this morning and she was sitting in box went out 30 min later and there it was. Was beginning to wonder if they would ever lay. :D
I've had one laying for about 3 months now and has gone broody twice. The first time it went on for 2 weeks and this last time I keep taking her off several times a day and put her outside with the others to move around. It only took 3 days of doing this and she finally gave up and stopped...
