    Ugliest comb EVER!!!

    So this is Romeo, my BLRW Roo. He is only a year old and I swear his comb grows every day! I honestly don't even know how he sees a thing, but he manages just fine. Is this giant monstrosity normal because I've never seen anything like it??? It's actually kind of comical because it actually...

    Feeding duck/goose eggs to chickens?

    My mother in law has A LOT of duck and goose eggs that she does not plan on eating. She was wondering if it would be ok to scramble them up for the chickens. I told her to just scramble them up for her ducks and geese, but for some reason she wants to know if it's ok to feed them to the...

    Can a bird molt before she even starts laying?

    So I have a RIR pullet that is 32 weeks old and has not laid a single egg yet. While I was out sitting with the girls today I noticed that it looks likke she's molting already because a few of her tail feathers are missing and she's looking a bit scraggly. I watched for quite a while to see if...

    What kind of rooster is this?

    This is my gorgeous little banty rooster. All of my other birds are large breeds and I have no idea about banty breeds. He is black, but has the most beautiful green throughout in the sun. What is this pretty boy? (don't tell him I called him pretty though...He thinks he's quite manly LOL).

    Cuckoo Maran. Boy and girl?

    These are supposed to be both girls, but I'm 99% sure that the one on the left is a boy. They didn't want to stand up for pictures but (so far) no saddle feathers and straight tail feathers. They are 8 weeks old. Is there any way in the world that they are both girls lol or that maybe one is...

    What breed am I?

    So this little girl (I hope) I got at an auction when she was 1-2 weeks old. At the auction she was kept in a tiny little cardboard box without any heat for hours and it was barely 40 degrees at the time!!! I would have paid anything just to win her and get her tucked up in my jacket for warmth...

    Am I a boy???

    So now that my chicks are over 8 weeks old, I was hoping you could tell me whether or not I have a roo in the mix. This is Lily, one of my BLR Wyandottes I got from a farm supply who is supposed to be a pullet. While I think I know the answer already, I'm going to leave the final verdict up to...

    My new coop

    Finally got my new coop finished! It's not as amazing as many of the others on BYC, but I'm still SO proud of it For now it is in the garage and the babies are still under a lamp, but in about another month or so, I plan on moving it outside next to the existing coop and run so they can start...

    What are these girls?

    I inherited these sweet girls from a family member and the only thing she can tell me is that they're year old female chickens lol. I'm fairly new to chickens, but I think that the first one could be a Red Sex Link, or maybe a comet? The 2nd one I thought was a Barred Rock, but I haven't gotten...
