    All Black Wyandotte? Is that possible

    I have about 10 chicks from a recent hatch. The one in question was supposed to be a Wyandotte, but is all back (yes, developing all black feathers) and has black legs. Is this really a Wyandotte? Or another breed? I think the guy who shipped the eggs might have mixed this one up.

    Aspirating Chick: Advice please!

    Over the weekend, I had a very problematic hatch. One of the chicks was having an especially difficult time getting out, so I helped the little gal. I thought at the time she was just straining her neck in an attempt to wriggle free of the shell (she had positioned poorly and was having...

    Cream Legbar Chicks - Sexing help

    This is my first time hatching Cream Legbars. As you probably know, they are an autosexing breed. Based on the dot that should be on their head, I only see one boy in the five, but I might be missing something. Anyone want to take a shot at sexing the chicks below?

    Barred Rock 15 Weeks - Roo or Hen?

    I don't see any of the rooster tail feathers on this one, but the neck feathers and bright red/large comb have me wondering. Plus, this little one decided to try crowing this morning. It was a very strangled sound, so it could be a hen impersonating a rooster, but I'm doubtful. Thoughts???

    Is my EE a Roo or Hen???

    He or she is about 15 weeks old. He/she does crow in the morning, but only a few times and I've heard that in a flock of all hens that sometimes the dominant hen will crow. I've posted a few more photos of my little gal/guy below.

    Hen Crowing or Young Rooster? Please Help!

    I recently traded a young rooster I had for what I was told was a black sex-link hen about the same age. However, I'm starting to doubt whether she's a hen at all. When I first brought her/him home and introduced her/him to the other members of the flock, she/he immediately began fighting with...

    Do Hens fight or only roosters?

    I have a small flock of teenager chickens. Recently, a few of them have started fighting each other. They fluff out their neck feathers and stare each other down a bit before a small tussle. It doesn't last long and no one gets hurt. My question is more on whether I can finally determine which...

    How many have brought up unvaccinated chicks?

    I'm new to chickens and finally ready to buy my first chicks. I didn't want many, so the online route is a bit expensive and I'd prefer not to subject my new babies to shipping since I wouldn't be able to pick them up when they first arrived at the post office. I have found a number of local...

    Brand New And Looking For Helpful Hints!

    After considering the idea for a few years, I have finally decided to take the plunge and try my hand at raising a few backyard chickens. I have found a number of farmers around with other chicks they're willing to sell for a good price, but I don't even have my coop built yet. I'm trying to...
