    Dominique Thread!

    I'd like to introduce to you Hank Wllieggs, Sr. He was my Mystery Chick this June from Murray MacMurray Hatchery. So he's about 18 weeks old now, but this pic was taken a couple of weeks ago. I'm thrilled to have him. He's crowing already and it's the cutest little crow ever!! I'm liking this...

    Langshan Thread!!!

    I asked off for Nov. 20 here so I should be able to go to Canton, TX for a rabbit show. I'll be sure to bring some birds with me if you can for sure meet me. I'd hate to have a bunch of birds in the car and stressing for nothing. For right now, I'm certain to have a splash pullet a black...

    Langshan Thread!!!

    1. Unfortunately, a breeder is the best possible resource to getting good quality birds. It's unfortunate because you're kind of secluded from the rest of the breeding community. 2. I honestly would not consider a hatchery. The birds, even though pretty, are usually undersized and lack in...

    Langshan Thread!!!

    Hello, I live in Southwest Texas, in a Border town called Eagle Pass. Pictured above is my Blue Langshan rooster, Razzle. I know he's not good quality. Please feel free to offer critique on him. I just started keeping chickens in 2014, but I have fallen in love with the Langshan breed and...

    Cochin Help me decide for sure on Sex please;)

    I'm 99.99999999% sure I've got an over abundance of cockerels on my hands. But I'm praying I'm wrong because it means that out of 15 straight run Feather Footed Fances, I only got 4 pullets. 11 cockerels seems like more than my fair share. Lol They're about 15-16 weeks now and all but one acts...

    Gender? Dominique chick

    I think pullet. My now 14 week old cockerel was much redder around the face at that age, plus the white and black bars seem to have the pullet pattern. I'm no expert though, as my only Dominique is Hank.

    Large Fowl Cochin Thread

    this is my second year keeping chickens. My first time having Cochins. My chicks are 14 weeks old now and I'm very afraid I got a bunch of cockerels on my hands. I ordered straight run but it sure looks like I'd best not make any bets any time soon. I have two Blue Splash, one of which I'm...

    Thanks! I had that thought it was a cockerel to start with, and called it Hank for a month, then had my doubts, but never really was sure. I see the saddle feathers for sure now that it was pointed out. He's a very pretty little boy! So, Here's to Hank!! ThAsks for the help!!!!

    Gender? Dominique chick

    This is my Dominique. I got it as a Mystery Chick from MurrayMcMurray Hatchery. I'm very pleased with my 20 chicks I ordered from them, btw. This one is 14 Weeks old now. And I'm still not sure of the sex. I believe it is a hen but the other evening I saw her having what looked like a cockfight...

    Keeping Roosters: I'd like advice on keepingRoosters without fighting or burdening hens.

    I am a relative newbie to chicken keeping. I have a flock of 15 month old birds. My first flock. They are 6 Rhode Island Red hens and a Blue Langshan rooster. I have them in my big coop and they free range in my totally fenced in yard most of the afternoon. He is a good rooster, takes good...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Brahma

    This is second year with chickens. My first flock was purchased at a feed store, where happened to find some Langshans. I really wasn't at all nowledgeable about chicken breeds, but I loved the feathery feet!! So this year, I ordered my hips from a hatchery. I live inSouthwest Texas, where some...

    Thanks so much for the advice. I'm getting first shipment in a couple of weeks. My first flock was purchased from the feed store, but this time I wanted certain breeds at a certain time. This advice should help me a lot!!

    What is your friendliest Chicken? What breed is it?

    I have 6 red hens. All of them come running when I bring out treats and eat from my hand, but one sweet, funny looking girl, is very friendly. She tries really hard to get in the house and follows me in at least once a week. She has a floppy comb that gives her a comical look and her name is...

    What is your friendliest Chicken? What breed is it?

    Your birds are all pretty but the Blue Ameraucana is gorgeous! I just love her. Your birds are all pretty, but the Blue Ameraucana s a stunner! I haven't seen one like her before. I'm very partial to Blue chickens. And I just adore this bird! Thanks for sharing the pics!

    Tail wagging question

    I was wondering about this because I have 6 girls. They free range most days and I usually let them out by noon, but today, due to stormy weather, I didn't let them out til almost 4 pm. They were all obviously happy tobe out, running around joyously trying to decide where to go first. I noticed...

    Show off your roosters

    Birchen Marans Hi, so your rooster is a Birchen Marans? I haven't heard of that breed type before. I got my rooster from TSC. He's 8 months old, and I've been thinking he is a Langshan. He has gray, feathered feet. But he definitely doesn't have the U shape that the Langshan should have. He...

    I adore your coop! I've been looking and dreaming of coops since I got my chickens 8 months ago. I just have a put it together kit coop from TSC and then a small attached covered run to it. And I let my chickens free range in the afternoon. We are renting our property and will be moving in a few...
