    Which are the roosters? Cuckoo Maran vs. Dominique

    These chicks are a month old. I know I have three cuckoo marans (one was supposed to be a cockerel), two dominiques, and two barred rock. After weeks of patiently waiting for feathers to come in and figure out who was who (they all looked the same as chicks) the only ones I can figure out are...

    Gold Sex Links OR New Hampshires?

    These pullets are all about five weeks old. The lady had told me some where Gold Sex Links and some were New Hampshire, but she didn't sound too sure.They all look exactly the same now so I'm thinking they are all the same kind of chicken. Their coloring reminds me of the Rhode Island Red chick...

    Silkies are not figuring out ramp...is my ramp not right or do they just need time?

    So here's my coop door next to the hen door: I leave the big coop door open often. I have been letting them out for free ranging for progressively longer periods of time for the week. The Copper Maran and the silkie rooster can get in and out of the regular door, sometimes my RIR can too. But...

    Is this a Silver laced Wyandotte, or some other chicken?

    I bought these chicks from the feed store a week and a half ago. They were both sold as Silver Laced Wyandottes. They were much older than the other chicks and all awkward looking with tons of pinions growing out. However, as the feathers have come in, one is very obviously laced and the other...

    Should I be concerned about this poo?

    OK, so I have had my flock at home for just over a week. The second day I had them, one hen was visably lethargic. She and the other chickens had mushy poo, normal colors according the to poo page though. I put her in a separate enclosure, gave her electrolytes, no improvement. Her symptoms...

    Same breed or different? Hampshire Red or Gold Sex Link?

    When I bought these chicks at the feed store they had all their chicks in two tubs rather than having each breed in a different tub. The feed store lady said the chicks with the orangish cast were one and the ones without were the other. However, in the second tub, there were other golden...

    Jubilee Chicken Flock Updates and Photos.

    So, one week ago a Craigslist ad popped up. I had done hours of reading about chickens on this site. I threw together a temp coop in my shed, and brought home the flock. The same day I also picked up some chicks and set up a brooder in a bedroom. Unfortunately, the move brought out some latent...

    New Flock, New Owner, RIR Hen is lethargic, tips please!

    OK, so I got a flock of seven chickens yesterday. My first chickens. According to the previous owner they are six months old. She said she suspected the two RIR may need worming due to runny poo. So the day I picked them up I got Strike III Medicated feed. Today one of the RIRs is just...

    Breeds that do well with Australorp? Ducks with chickens?

    OK, so I'm looking into chickens to produce eggs for me and some friends and family. First question: what is the difference in egg yield between high egg yielders and medium egg yeilders? I refer to this article...
