Ok... so my rooster is only about 7 months old. Today I noticed when he walks around he'll stop occasionally and open his beak up wide but no sound comes out. I watched him do it about 10 times in less than a minute. Are there such things as a silent rooster? Or is there something else going on...
I know this is PROBABLY a rooster with the larger comb... but is it POSSIBLE that its a girl? One of my other birds has a HUGE comb, and is a girl. But none have the pretty tail feathers like this one. No spurs though! is it POSSIBLE?
The two birds in these pictures are speckled sussex
Ok, so about a week ago one of my girls started laying! Her first 4 eggs were in one of the nesting boxes I put in their coop! Today, she laid one right in the middle of the yard... which my dog found before me.
Is this fixable? Or is this life with chickens?
Hello!
So I have 3 hens that are 5 months old, and I just got 2 new chicks, that are a week old. Obviously for now they are separate, the chicks are in the garage in a brooder, and the hens are in their coop. When and how do I introduce the 2 youngsters?
Thank you!!
Hi! I am new to chickens, and this website! :) I have some of my girls for about 3 months now, and I have 2 more youngsters now that I just got today!
