Hens?
They are 4 weeks old.
The silver laced one started growing head feathers first (although she is smaller) and she has more of them compared to the golden laced one who has a V-shape comb.
Better to be hens.
Thanks!
Hi,
What's wrong with this picture?
About 2 months ago she had a red and oozy bottom and I thought that it was egg peritonitis. We even took radiographs at my work but did not see any stuck egg inside her. I am pretty sure that she has not laid any eggs since. I soaked her bottom in a warm...
Hello,
I just found out that one of my three Delawares has a these "nubs" between her toes (in both feet- I hope that the photo helps). She is perfectly fine with them but I was just wondering if they are going to grow, and WHAT are them??? They feel like really hard and when I pinch them it...
Did I screw it up?
I applied Zodiac Flea & Tick Spray to my chicken yesterday (3-5 pumps/each). I just panicked because when I examined one of my Sussexes I noticed that she had a lot of lice and had lost feathers from her rump!!! I also put Sevin into their nesting boxes.
By doing this did...
Here are few of my chickens:
"Silkie" (her name and breed are the same )
Vanessa (Speckled Sussex)
She likes cantaloupes
Dolly "the Delaware" enjoying her daily fruits
Does anybody know that when I should go there if I want to see the most of the chickens? When are they judged? I am intersted in seeing as many as possible Polishes, Speckled Sussex and Delawares.
Thanks!
I am a happy owner of three chiks
They are 3 weeks old now. Two of them are Speckled Sussex and the little one is Partridge Rock. Thay are from McMurray and I am hoping them to be pullets.

Is it still too early to tell the roos from hens? They are a little bit different sizes...

My White Crested Black Polish Hen got pecked by OEGB Rooster last year around this time and finally in the beginning of last summer I separated her from the others. After that she also had her first molt. She looked miserable.
Currently she looks great EXCEPT the fact that the area where...
Please,
look at these photos and tell me that this is a Pullet!!!
She should be about 21 weeks old. She is just like her sisters except that her tail is gray and has some barring on it. I cannot see any saddle feathers on her. No eggs yet from anyone of them.
Thanks for your help!
She...
Until what age do hens lay eggs? When does the productivity go down?
I am just curious because most of my hens are still rather young.
The RIR has just recently started laying and I get about 5 eggs from her per week. My Delawares are about 20 weeks old now and not laying yet. I just got an...
Hi
How are Mille Fleur hens?
I have 5 standard chicken, a silkie, and 2 OEGBs sharing a coop (8* 4 ft and a lots of roosting space). Their pen is propably 10*25 ft or more.
The OEGBs are doing fine but I would like to have 2 more bantams so they would not feel like being the only "little...
My OEGB Rooster seems to be fine BUT his normally red comb looks very bluish this morning! It wasn't cold last night and nothing has changed. Why could this be?
Thanks!
I have an OEGB rooster, 2 OEGB hens, a silkie, RIR pullet and a mixed breed cockerel (~22-25 wks old).
The two roosters have been doing fine together at least until now. The cockerel has not started crowing yet and is clearly scared of the older OEGB rooster. The cockerel even respects the...
Hello,
I think that it is quite interesting that how different my two Rhode Island pullets can look.
They should be about 21-23 weeks old now. The darker one is from McMurray Hatchery and the large red one is from a local breeder. They haven't laid any eggs yet.
There was a time when we...
Here are my chicken:
Blondie & Brown Sugar- ~20 week old RIRS
Grace- an old lady OE Silver Duckwing Game Bantam
Rooster, Silkie, BB and Candy
Silkie
Candy, Rooster & BB
Latte & Franny - Polish Cresteds
I hope that you enjoyed seeing my birds!
Do I need to treat her and how?
Swollen lower eye lid w/o discharge. Although it doesn't show in the photo there is aslo some bloody spots mixed in the brown iris.
Normal eye.
She looks just horrible anyway (molting!).
She has just recovered from scaly leg mite and is full of energy...
I have a Polish Crested hen that I recently had to separate from the other chicken because she got almost all her head feathering pecked by the others (Old English Game Bantam rooster and his 2 hens and a Silkie). I also have two new 9 week old Rhode Island chicks in a separate pen.
One day...
