    Two broody hens

    Thank you so much! For context, I have nine hens and one rooster. Shelly is now on day four of laying on the clutch. She is in one of the nesting boxes in the coop (there are four total). When she takes breaks other hens will lay eggs in her spot. I’ve been removing those eggs. This morning...

    Two broody hens

    Two of my hens went broody at the same time a few days ago (an EE named Shelly and a barnyard mix named Cody) but Cody only lasted throughout the night and part of the morning, then quit. My Easter Egger, Shelly, however, has stuck it out! I marked the seven eggs she’s been laying on because we...

    How to reintegrate rooster that I rehomed?

    Yes, I gave him to a friend because my flock used to free range but now we have a large run for them so he is contained and no longer poses a risk to my kids. He isn’t aggressive with me when I go in there and really he was just startled by my toddler on his bike. He’s a great rooster and...

    Black sex link?

    My husband came home with a new chicken and I am unsure what breed she is. She is extremely shy when I come around so getting a picture wasn’t easy, so I hope these photos are enough to ID her! She has what appear to be black legs, a black beak, and orange eyes. She’s solid black except for...

    I ended up putting him in the coop with them last night and this morning they’re all getting along great. Thank you!

    How to reintegrate rooster that I rehomed?

    Thanks! Is the worry that he’d be too aggressive or that the ladies would gang up on him? I added one adult hen to my flock about a month ago and just put her in with all the others right away. There was some bullying for a few days but after that they’ve all been getting along great.

    How to reintegrate rooster that I rehomed?

    I rehomed my rooster a few months ago to some friends after he got aggressive with my toddler. He was with a flock of eight hens, and he was really respectful of the ladies and overall great at his job. We recently built my hens a large run in a portion of our yard (they were free ranging before...

    Salmon Faverolles rooster needs new home - Austin, TX area

    My Salmon Faverolles cockerel, Dale, is in need of a new home. He is 22 weeks old and is currently our only rooster with a free-ranging flock of nine pullets. He is great with the girls! He’s respectful, always shows them where the good food is, and just does an overall excellent job as leader...

    Free range pullets - not sure if they’re laying

    Thanks again!! I found two more today - another beautiful one and a soft one, so two of the girls must be laying and they’re both doing so in the coop. Yay!

    Free range pullets - not sure if they’re laying

    @rosemarythyme I found two eggs in the coop (not in a nesting box) a couple days ago - a soft one and a normal one that had been cracked open. I hadn’t checked the day before so I think they were both from the same pullet. Haven’t found anything since. Would you still suggest I confine them to...

    Free range pullets - not sure if they’re laying

    I have six pullets that are all 21 weeks old - three Easter Eggers, a Cream Brabanter, a Rhode Island Red, and a Black Australorp. They free range from dawn to dusk. I have yet to find an egg from any of the ladies in the coop. I’m not sure if any of them are even laying yet, but we live in a...

    Red face - maturing or something else?

    I have another thread going about her because I thought she was a BR cockerel but her legs aren’t that nice yellow color. They’re like yellow pink black?? Here’s another pic!

    Red face - maturing or something else?

    Yes, sorry I thought you meant other Blue Stars! First pic: Cream Brabanter Second pic: Up for debate right now - guesses include Olive Egger cockerel or Blue Cuckoo Marans pullet Third pic: Ancona, behind the Blue Star

    Red face - maturing or something else?

    She’s my only Blue Star so I don’t have anyone to compare her to unfortunately!

    Red face - maturing or something else?

    Alright, from my research it looks like Sapphire Gems are a bit different from Blue Stars. Sapphire Gem is a cross between Blue Star (Blue Plymouth Rock) and a Barred Plymouth Rock. The Blue Star is a cross between Andalusian and Barred Plymouth Rock. So, would the Blue Star still have this same...
