    Is this rooster a Jungle Fowl or a Brown Leghorn?

    Hi all, I got this guy as a chick a year ago, and I was told he was a Jungle Fowl pullet. Obviously he is a rooster, but he is much larger than the other Jungle Fowl rooster I have, who is about the size of a bantam. Also, his legs are yellow and the other Jungle Fowl's are slate. It took me...

    (Arizona) Jungle Fowl, Buff Brahma, Bantam EE (Roosters) available!

    Hi everybody, As luck would have it, 1/3 of the pullets I bought last year turned out to be roosters. I have 2 Jungle Fowls, 2 Buff Brahmas, and 1 Bantam Easter Egger for sale. I would like them to go to a good home- each of these boys should probably be the only rooster in your flock, unless...

    Introduced new hen to flock, but she keeps hiding

    Hi all, I adopted a 5 year old Easter Egger hen and introduced her to my flock of one-year-old hens and rooster at night. But all of my preexisting hens still keep picking on the newbie and causing her to hide. She keeps finding hiding places where the other hens and rooster don't see her...

    Compost toilet + chickens = ?

    Hi there, This may have a very obvious answer, but I use compost toilets with peat moss and dump them into compost holes when the toilets get full. Bugs love these piles, chickens love bugs. Could I allow my chickens to graze the compost toilet/vegetable scrap piles for buggers, or will they...

    Grabbing back of neck? Meanie!!

    I was just petting my Rhode Island Red hen, and she always sits down when I pet her. Well, a Brahma (not sure what sex...I think roo but not 100% sure) comes along and grabs the RIR's back of the neck by the feathers and held her down and wouldn't let go. I pressed him gently towards the...

    So, how does hatching work?

    I am new to chickens and want to let mine breed when they are ready. I don't want to use an incubator. I have lots of questions. 1- Can you buy a dozen hatching eggs online and stick them under a hen? How would that work? Does she need to be broody already, or can you stick 12 under her...

    Questionable Salmon Faverolles gender

    Hey everybody! One of my Salmon Faverolles is throwing me for a loop as to what gender it is! It looks like a pullet based on how much white, salmon, and grey is in its feathers, but now I'm not so sure! Is this a Frederick or a Fraulein??? Note the black and white Primary Coverts, and...

    Small red circle with red dot in middle...on ME!

    Hi there, Ever since I got chickens, I've been getting every other week or so, one or several marks on my body (it has happened so far on my arms and on my face). Usually in areas that I don't touch my chickens with. I have been told that I can get ringworm from touching chickens a lot, but...

    Black thumb!!! (Trying to garden in Arizona)

    Hey everyone, I've always tried to garden in Arizona (now I live in Miami, AZ which is at 3400 ft elevation and is generally much cooler than the lower desert). Starting from seed never works, they may germinate but as soon as I put them outside they shrivel up and die. Starting from nursery...

    4 breeds, gender confirmation anyone?

    Hi again! I was just wondering if anyone could help me confirm these birds' genders. These are my Barred Rocks (please excuse the Blue Andalusians on the left and top). Barred Rock A (center left) has larger, redder comb and wattles, and is lighter than Barred Rock B (center right). They...

    What breed and gender are these 2 Lavender or Light Grey chicks?

    Hi there! I was wondering if you guys could help me take a stab at what breed and gender these little chicks are. They are approximately 4 or 5 weeks old. I got them from good ol' Tractor Supply Co., who could tell me absolutely nothing about these lovely little birds. They were mixed in...

    Rotten toe? Tip of toe is falling off

    Hi there, It seems one of my Jungle Fowl has a toe problem. It looks like the tip of the toe never grew with the rest of the toe. The tip is greyish brown and falling off, it almost looks rotted. I think the nail already fell off (or something fell off when I picked her up), and the rest of...

    Breeding for Beards and Muffs? (EE, d'Anver, Orloff)

    Hi there, Here are my thoughts. Can I breed an Easter Egger to a d'Anvers to get a slightly slimmer-looking EE with a guaranteed beard and muffs? I love EEs, and I love d'Anvers, but d'Anvers are too small and EEs are too poofy/heavy-looking, and not all of them have beards/muffs. Does...
