I have an EE about a year old. She used to lay beautiful blue eggs. We moved and, like most chickens, she went through an adjustment period with no eggs for a little while...
Hi Everyone. I have read a lot of threads about sneaking chicks under broody hens and I'd like to do that. My silkie laid a nice clutch of eggs and I put them in the incubator. They are in lockdown now, and in the past week, she has become broody and is sitting on the eggs that have been laid...
Clarence was born July 4, 2012. He is a good rooster, he has NEVER challenged me or been obnoxious in the least. That part of him I love. The crowing part....well, not so much. Unfortunately, I live in a place not conducive to talkative roosters and would like to find him a better place to live...
I hope it's okay I posted also in Raising Baby Chicks. I've seen a bunch of posts about chicks that have just hatched not walking properly. But I have some older ones that used to walk just fine, but now seem to be struggling. They are blrw's. They make it to food and water ok, but it seems like...
All, I'm hoping you can help. I have two blrw chicks about 6 weeks old (maybe a bit younger) and they were walking just fine when I got them. Then they seemed to just lose muscle mass or something, and now can barely move around their pen. They seem otherwise healthy, but they just aren't...
I have a Swedish Flower Cockerel born early November 2011. He just started crowing a few days ago. I never intended to keep him, just wanted to get him raised and healthy. He needs a flock to watch over, and I've already got one. He is free to a good home. Swedish Flower Hens are not a common...
Very handsome dominique cross for sale in central NC (Raleigh area). He is just over 5 months old, easy to handle, used to people & dogs, no trouble at all. I kept him until he started crowing, which was just today, so now I need to find him a new place to live. Asking $10 obo. Pick-up or...
Thanks to all for the help identifying Frank N Chicken earlier in the week. I've also got two Swedish Flower Hen chicks that are just over 5 weeks old. I am starting to suspect that one might be a boy - his comb is bigger and he is just a bit bigger in general. I'd love to know what you think...
Hi Everyone,
I need your opinions. We got three day-old chicks in June. Two were obviously roosters, with distinct combs and tail plumage. The third had no comb, short feathers and I was sure she was a girl. From what I know, all from the same clutch of eggs. Here are pics of her today, at 6...
Hi Everyone,
We are relatively new to the chicken-raising game. We built a coop over Memorial Day weekend and got our first chicks a week later. After a few lost to sickness, a hawk and our over-zealous Siberian Huskie, we now have 6 grown chickens and two just over a month old. Currently, we...
