Ok so i rescued some hens from a bad situation. Their water was basically diarrhea.... well their eggs right now taste how their previous water smelled.... how long drinking fresh clean water do you think before the nasty water is flushed out enough to no longer taste it in their eggs?
I was...
Ok so my 3 new chicks have to be the dumbest chicks I have ever had. They are 26 days old. I just got them yesterday. I have them set up in a brooder kinda cage away from my main flock. There is 1 speckled sussex and 2 ameraucanas pullets. The person I got them from got them from a hatchery...
she is like 10ish weeks old
She kinda reminds me of a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte...but she has white legs and ears... I named her Opal because her ears have a white opal color to them.
I think it is a rhode island red and barnevelder cross
it is 16 weeks old
It's gender I think is confused LOL
it just started to develop wattles and some what of a comb within the last few days(makes me think hen)
it's saddle feathers are rounded not pointy. (makes me think hen)
While I was...
I noticed Ponderosa was sitting in the nest box so I got my camera and waited... and waited... and waited... I sat there for over and hour just waiting. It paid off because I got a video of her laying her egg. LOL
I figured I would see who all can do it or has done it. I have heard that it can be done any day but something special about today so here are my eggs. This was not easy. LOL
I wanna see others balance their eggs too
I got a dominique hen friday. She has black spots on her legs... they are not sores it is just like she has spotted legs. I searched on here for something like that and found someone had a chicken like that but they said it was an EE....
it has already molted and non of it's feathers are pointy BUT I had a full blood barred rock rooster that NEVER got any pointy feather and he was for sure he. He rooster crowed every morning at 6am LOL
So what do you think about this 15 to 16 week old? hen or rooster?
I have 3 older hens and 2 younger hens. The 3 older lay eggs. I was getting 1 egg a day then the next day 2 eggs and so on every other day 1 egg and every other day 2 eggs. I knew who was laying what... but for the last 4 days I have been getting 2 eggs EVERY day... and well that would mean one...
Does anyone know what this may be or what may have caused it. I have noticed it getting larger and larger in the last few days. It has only been there for about a week now. It started out as what looked like maybe a peck spot from another chicken then it got to the size of an uncooked grain of...
It just had it's first molt. It is 4 to 5 months old. I just started to notice what to me look like hackle and saddle feathers starting to grow in.
^^^----- see those 2 new what look like saddle feather coming in?

I have yet to see any chickens like her so I have no clue what breed she is.
I am sure she is a mix but I am just wondering what mix might you think she may be.
I got a new hen. She is a hen who has been laying eggs for some time. I got her yesterday. She was removed from the nesting box when I got her. Since coming to my house well she has been obviously relocated and stressed. She was in the middle of laying an egg I am guessing since she was in the...
I just got this barred rock from my friends farm. Someone gave the chicken to her because they thought it was a rooster. she has had ti for some time now and she thinks it is a hen. I can't tell. SO can you?
I got a mix barred rock rhode island red yesterday and I think it may be a rooster. reasons why I think it may be a roo
