    New Jersey's Chicken Sex Laws - Sad but true

    I keep my roosters separate from the girls and those boys crow from 4:30 a.m. until sundown. I've got the loudest roosters and I can say with certainty that it isn't post "cloacal kiss" crowing either. I think it is just crazy. Its local government so it must be that someone on the township...

    New Jersey's Chicken Sex Laws - Sad but true

    Its just something I had to share. It sounded ridiculous when I read the headline, but after reading the article, I found it to be just sad. New Jersey's Hopewell Township has passed legislation restricting chicken sex to 10 days a year only after the rooster has been tested and proven to be...

    Determining cause of illness in chicken

    Hi Becca She passed away while we were eating dinner. I was actually beginning to think that she would pull through. I was able to get her to drink the electrolytes and she seemed to liven up a little. We left her alone to have dinner and when we came back to check on her she was dead. My...

    They Won't Stay Home!!!

    I feel your pain. My chickens loved my neighbor's yard more than mine. Unfortunately, I had to buy fencing to keep them in. Then I had to clip their wings to keep them from flying over the fence. Then when they learned that if they just flap their wings they could climb up and over the...

    Determining cause of illness in chicken

    I have a 10 week old bantam frizzle cochen pullet who yesterday was fine as can be. I held her and petted her the way she liked. This morning I found her in a little dirt nest. Her eyes were closed and she was very still. She was laying in her own feces (which looked normal) One leg was...

    Help with confining chickens

    I had actually used zip ties to close up the gaps and must have missed one. Those little buggers were eyeing up my veggie garden. They watched me all day yesterday, 6 hours in the heat, transplanting my seedlings into nice rows in the garden. I guess the temptation was too good. I went...

    Help with confining chickens

    Well I found the breach, its in the middle of the penned area, where two sections of netting overlap each other. I just can't figure out how the birds, with their wings clipped (and I clipped all 10 flight feathers all the way up past the tips of the second row of feathers) were able to fly...

    Help with confining chickens

    I've owned chickens for just over one year now and the entire time, I have been battling with keeping the chickens confined so they do not roam where they do not belong. Initially I fenced in a 25X60 foot area with a 5' fence. When my hens (all large breeds) learned how to get over the fence...

    Are these all GIRLS!?

    They all look like girls, however, sometimes you have to go by more than just the comb. #3 is questionable because of the type of comb. Look at the feet and hackles. All my roos had bigger feet and thicker legs. They also developed longer hackle feathers along the back just above the tail...

    What am I? Not a speckled sussex

    Thank you for the responses. I got two of the SS with her/him and they have a single comb. This one looks like it'll have a pea comb or rose comb. After looking at the pictures of game birds I think ve is right. When this bird stands up she stands erect, with he neck stretched out and her...

    What am I? Not a speckled sussex

    My local feed store gets their chicks from primarily Ideal and Cackle. They had this little chick mixed in with the Speckled Sussex. I thought she was so cute I had to bring her a two friends home. I know she's not a speckled susses, but I just can't seem to find what breed she is or if is...

    Who laid the tiny egg?

    All of my hens are just about 1 year old, that is except for the 5 pullets and 2 roos my hen Hanna hatched out on March 9th, 2010. This evening, my son and husband check the coop for eggs and find a tiny little egg about the size of my thumb from the first knuckle to the tip. All of my hens...

    Chick Breed I.D.?

    Quote: Vent sexing is pretty easy. I actually stubbled onto it while dealing with a case of pasty butt. Lift the tail so that the vent opens. At the top of the opening a male chick will have a little bump, no bigger than a tiny pimple. Females do not have the little pimple bump. Hope...

    Chick Breed I.D.?

    I don't think its a Hamburg because the legs are yellow and Hamburgs have slate legs. So don't be surprised if it turns out to be a Welsummer.
