    What breed is this drake? Saxony?

    I was told this was a Saxony drake, but I can't find photos of other drakes that look like him. His mate was a beautiful Saxony female but she got herself eaten. He has a green bill, white eye stripe, and orange feet. Thoughts?

    What is prime rooster eating age? (PR)

    We have 3 roosters and intend to keep 2 of them. They're only 8 weeks old at the moment. One is a sweet bantam that has so far been quite a gentleman, and the other two are production reds (sexed pullets, my ***!). One has started testing me and will bite and peck at my hands when I reach in for...

    What breed is Sir Peckerwood?

    Our chicks are 7-8 weeks old. Sir Peckerwood is the adorable little black Bantam who started crowing at 5 weeks old. Any help identifying his breed? He is almost all black, with some whitish tail feathers starting to emerge. Also, can you help identify the breed (and gender) of the little...

    Huge chick: Roo, food hog, or just older?

    This is Dina/Dino. I cleared out the bin of Red "pullets" at TSC, and this one has always been bigger than the rest so I assumed it was older and left over from an earlier batch. The rest are almost 4 weeks old now, but this one is starting to WAY outgrow the rest! Looking like a boy to anyone...

    Bantam chick: What breed?

    [/IMG][/IMG] This little guy is almost 4 weeks old. Looking awfully roostery with the impressive comb for its age. Any guess on breed?

    Need help asap! Chicks all pecking each other!

    Help! I feel like a total failure of a Chicken Mother!! I woke up today and discovered blood everywhere in the brooder! I have 20 chicks (Red pullets, a leghorn and a few random bantams) in a nice large brooder (4' x 5') They are almost 3 weeks old, plenty of food, water, and warmth. Woke up...

    Wasted food?! Help!

    What do you do to stop your chicks from kicking all of the food out and pooping in it?! We use sand in the brooder for litter and I have to sift it twice a day to keep the smell/hygiene in check. Every time I sift it, 3/4 of what I have to pull out is food crumbles! How do you keep the food...

    Is there any hope for a 2 week old bully?

    I've got a mystery bantam chick with a serious Napoleon complex. He's only 2 weeks old but I'm pretty sure already that it's a Roo because it (he) is extremely aggressive, bucks up, stomps on the other chicks, pecks hard at them, and even drags them around by their heads if he grips any feathers...

    What bantam breed is this?

    This is a 2-3 week old bantam that I picked up today at the feed store- I am 90% sure it's a Roo due to it's behavior (bucking up, aggressively stomping on other chicks, pecking) and I don't want to hang on to it any longer than I need to because he's being so mean to the others and I just don't...

    One mean Silkie Bantam pecking at 5 new chicks. Will she ever play nice?

    After a predator attack a couple of weeks ago, we were life with only one hen, a mean silkie bantam. She seriously hates everyone, but she got along fine with the hens we used to have. We just added 5 8-week old pullets, and we kept them separate for the whole first week using the playpen...

    Is it possible to tell the AGE of this gal?

    [/IMG] Help please! This lovely girl was a rescue, and I've figured out that she's a Sumatra (right??), but I don't know how old she is. Her flight feathers have been trimmed. Is there any way to tell by looking at these pics? She hasn't laid any eggs in the 2 weeks we've had her. Our other...

    Can you encourage evening layers to become morning layers?

    My flock is new to us, but all around a year old. (Red Stars and Silkie Bantams) They are adjusting to their new coop and while they're figuring out where to sleep, I've been blocking off the nest boxes after sunset so they'll learn to sleep on the roosts, but this has created a bit of a problem...
