So, I read in Storey's Guide that roosters do not tuck their heads in their wings when they sleep. I'm just wondering if this is a genetic thing or a head gear thing. I just caught my month old chick doing this, and I'm wondering if it could mean she's a girl? Have you seen your chicks tuck...
This chick is a black variety blue laced red wyandotte (BLR) born on June 20. It has a single comb, so will not be good for showing. BLRs should have rose combs. I do not know the sex of it either. You can contact me through my website. At some point I will know the sex and will post that...
Barred Rock
Sicilian Buttercup
Buff Orpington
Brown Leghorn rooster???
Black Langshan
I was told this was some kind of bantam, but I don't know what. I'm guessing White Bantam Rock???
I was told this was a Golden Campine, but I'm thinking Rhode Island Red
Back when I used to keep parakeets, I was told that you can't kiss them because it could give them liver disease.
I'm not going to give my chickens any diseases by kissing them, am I?
My little Sicilian buttercup, Sadie, got pecked on bad by her sisters last night. Her poor little butt was all covered in blood. I didn't have time to do much this morning, so I put her in the cat crate with food and water and left her under a tree. I just got home, she looks ok, no more...
