    Chicken Math Strikes Again - I'm allowed to get more chicks!

    Disclaimer: My husband didn't exactly love chickens when I wanted to get some, so when I say he "allows" me to get chickens, I mean that we discussed it and came to an agreement, and by "not allowed" I mean that I am sticking to my side of our agreement. In our city, we can legally have up to...

    Auto-sexing breed where only the females hatch?

    Is it possible to create a breed of chickens where the males all express a deformity or issue so they all die in shell and don't hatch, and only female chicks hatch. I know it couldn't be a pure breed, because obviously there would be no males so it couldn't be pure, but would it be possible to...

    A foster mom: Sometimes my chickens surprise me!

    I have 5 adult hens, 9 ten-week old chicks, and 2 seven-week old chicks (cream legbars). The 2 little ones are FAR smaller than the rest of the chicks, even smaller than the 10-weekers were a few weeks ago. Perhaps they are just smaller chickens, or they haven't been spoiled like the bigger ones...

    Olive Egger with no apparent tail - what breed? Also, male or female?

    Because this is always a fun game, what is my chicken: male or female? He is 8 weeks old. His comb is not as red as our 2 "definitely roosters" but redder and more developed than some of our "definitely females." But then again, he is the only one of his type so that all might be meaningless. I...

    Silver Laced Wyandotte - mostly white chick vs mostly black chick?

    My sister and I hatched 3 Silver Laced Wyandottes. They are 4 weeks old today. I know it's too early to tell for sure whether they are male or female, but I've never had a Silver Laced Wyandotte before, and I'm curious. We're here to learn, right? :) I ended up with 2 black-with-white chicks...

    3.5wk old Barred Rock: Hen or Roo game

    It's quite likely too early to tell for sure, but since guessing is fun too, take a stab at this one. This is our only Barred Rock chick, hatched March 21 (3.5 weeks ago). What so you think: hen or roo? My guess is roo.

    Possible Marek's in my chickens

    The link above is a link to a Facebook video I took 10 days ago of my female Golden Laced Polish, "Pinky Pie." This was when she could still walk, though she was having difficulties. I got these chickens, my first chickens ever, as 3 day old chicks in March of this year (2013). Pinky Pie, the...

    Meet My Chickens (all named after My Little Ponies)

    Hi! I'm Sayga and I'm new to chicken-owning. Years ago, I told my sister (who wasn't a veterinarian then but is now) that I wanted chickens, but I couldn't have them because of my HOA (home owners association). She started to look up about owning chickens because she thought it was a bad idea...
