    Easter Egger or Ameraucana?

    The first girl has a bumble foot with a bandage on her foot, but still you can see every other detail. I have been told these are Ameraucanas, but then every now and then someone says they are Easter Eggers. Any comments welcome. At this point, I'm totally confused.

    Barred Rock or Not

    I purchased Plymouth Barred Rock chicks 8 month ago and this one hen, though greatly resembles them, does not look like the rest. She has a lot of green in her stripes. Her tail is more straight up toward the sky, and her comb looks different. Can you tell me what she is? Or is she a Barred...

    Chicken Hawk

    The worst experience I ever had with chickens was probably one of my roosters worst night mares. We had intended to put up hawk netting in the near future, but had been so busy we just had not gotten to it yet. One evening right before time the chickens were going up, I heard the worst racket...

    Egg Turner Goes Back To Starting Position

    I recently purchased a Janoel 8-48 incubator, and I'm having problems with the eggs hatching out right. I did some inspection on it, and I noticed that even though the egg turner does work, it goes back into the starting position instead of staying to the opposing position. My question is: Will...

    Can Chicks Still Hatch at 94 degrees?

    I bought a new incubator with it's own digital thermostat. It seemed like a Cadillac compared to my others. I didn't think to check the thermostat until day 21 when I still do not hear any peeps. I put my own thermostat inside it and it is reading 94 degrees instead of 99.5 degrees which is what...

    One has white legs and beak; the others has yellow. Are they different breeds? Bantam Buff Orps

    I have Buff Orpington Bantams that have yellow beaks and yellow legs, except one hen and she has white beak and white legs. Does anyone know about Buff Orpington Bantams? Are they supposed to have yellow or white legs and beaks? Or are they not even Buff Orp Bantams at all? thanks

    Why is my hen YELLOW?

    My beautiful dominique hen has a yellow face. She did have a nice red face up until about a month ago. When I noticed I began giving her vitamins, but she is still yellow. She doesn't behave like she feels well. At one point I put her up in quarantine. She ate and drank okay so I let her back...

    Egg/chick eating snakes

    I think I would really love the opportunity to vent with this post. I have had an issue with an inordinate number of snakes eating my eggs or chicks this summer. What made matters worse; I seriously broke my ankle in late spring and was not able to take precautions, as I should. I am sick from...

    Are there any Upstate, South Carolina Black Orpington Breeders?

    I live in Upstate, SC and I'm searching for some Black Orpingtons. Does anyone know where I may find some in or near Greenville or Spartanburg County in South Carolina? Also, I need 3 Splash Orpingtons. I prefer pullets, but I will take chicks. Could someone help me out? Please? Thanks. :)

    She stopped eatting after she hurt her leg

    My Splash Orpington has stopped eating in the past 2 days. She hurt her leg somehow and was limping so I separated her and put her in a small cage to heal. She seemed to be doing okay at first but after 5 days she barely eats at all. She lies on her side most of the day off her leg and will not...

    What are Bantams good for?

    Last spring I bought some Buff Orpingtons at the flea market that I was told were regular baby chicks. After about 4 weeks they developed cones and began laying eggs, and they are the sweetest best laying hens and rooster I have ever owned, but I was devastated to find they grew no more. They...

    Does Baby Chicks Bulley?

    I have baby chicks about 4 weeks old, and I've noticed there is a lot of staring down, and the bigger ones jumping on the runts. Is this bullying? What can I do to stop it? They have a fairly large brooder, and plenty of food and water. Three of them are really small, and I fear it is because...

    Certifications to make my chicken eggs more appealing?

    Can anyone tell me if there are any kinds of certifications to make my chicken eggs more appealing? I am attempting to make my chicken lots very large so they can be happy free range chickens, with safety in mind from all the hawks that scope this area. I do what ever I can to make sure they...

    Raising chickens for eggs

    Hello, I'm a new member, but not new to raising chickens. I started with a rooster. I loved that ole fellow. He was better than any dog or cat I ever had. He followed me around and waited at the door until I came out. One time he adopted a kitten. We would give him bologna for a treat, but he...
