    I am frustrated and sad..... stupid rooster.

    I don't know what I am doing wrong.... if anything. Why are roosters so brutal? I have tried 3 sincere times over the course of approximately 9 years to have a rooster with my hens. Every time it has turned out bad. As a new chicken owner back then I raised some Easter Egger chicks and kept a...

    Concerned, is this normal, 9 month hen molting in the middle of winter?!?!?!?!

    I have three 9 month old hens, they were laying really good but then I noticed that one of them stopped laying about 2 weeks ago, she is a solid white Easter Egger. The other two, both darker colored hens, slowed down some, I figure because of the cold weather. I started noticing white feathers...

    Another EE now 11 1/2 weeks old, roo or pullet?

    I was excited when I realized I had a roo out of my bunch that came from Rural King when it was supposed to be 6 little girls. But now I am looking at this one. Opinions?

    Easter Egger, 10 weeks old, pullet or cockerel?

    So, my daughter picked me up 6 little babies from Rural King 10 weeks ago. All supposedly female. Of the 6, one was smaller so I thought maybe the others were a few days older. It was much slower getting it's feathers at a slower pace even when it did start. It was always jumping in the others...

    Looking for EE Roo in the East TN area.

    Hey folks, I need a Cockeral or young roo, but I only want an Americauna or Easter Egger with the green legs. I have had several different breeds of chickens and I just really like the EE's best. I need a Roo to add with my girls. If you have an extra and it is close enough I would love to do...

    Traumatized chickens?

    Hello Peeps! It's been a while since I have been here, busy with life and still having chickens. I built what my neighbors call a "chicken fort knox" with a small run and coop a few years back to keep them dry and safe at night. I do allow them to have a nice size fenced in backyard to run in...

    Splay legged chick, please advise.

    My hen had her first batch of chicks. There were 8 eggs and they started hatching on Friday. 6 hatched and the 7th started Friday but didn't hatch completely until around evening time on Saturday. It happens to be splayed. I put a band-aid around his little legs to pull them together but he...

    Under one eye is red & puffy! Pictures, please advice.

    I just noticed that one of my 18 week old Black Aussie pullets looks like her eye has been injured or something is going on. Do any of you know what this looks like. She looks fine in the left eye, it is clear. I am showing pics of both sides. What caught my attention was that her right eye...

    How do you start over?

    I posted in another thread that something got my chickens. Killed everyone one of them. Eight! I cried all day yesterday. I am the one that had to go out and pick up their lifeless bodies. Some were just dead, some were decapitated, some had their insides eaten out. The horror of opening my back...

    Heartbroken

    I am new at raising chickens, I had 8 that were about 7 to 8 weeks old. I had them in a chicken tractor. I found them dead this morning. All of them except I haven't found Myrtle yet, my favorite one. I can't stop boo hooing. Just heartsick and heartbroken. Is it normal for a fox to kill them...

    "Updated pics" please advise...... My turn to ask if you can guess what I have. (pic heavy)

    I believe I have one of my eight guessed correctly. I am convinced pretty much 100% that one big ole chick is a Roo but I will be surprised if the Roo turns out to be a hen LOL. There are 4 black austrolorpes (Approx. 4 weeks old) 2 RIR's (Approx. 3 or 4 weeks old) 1 Ameraucana (the tiny one...

My friend and I decided to make chicken tractors and start our little egg laying production. I have had my chicks for about 3 weeks now and I enjoy...
