    Gender - tell me I'm wrong!

    Six dominikers, am I correct in thinking the one perched highest is female and the rest are male?

    Hen dropped over this morning

    This morning when my daughter let the hens out to forage, one of my hens walked out and just fell over. She layed on her back for a minute or two breathing heavily with eyes closed, spasmed a few times and died. Do you think this was a heart attack or an illness? Should I be worried about my...

    Is this little cutie a roo?

    Bought two blue marans from someone on Facebook. He said they were 5-6 weeks old. Does this one look like a roo to y'all? He's already getting wattles! Other chick is smaller, less pronounced comb, no wattles that I can tell. I almost hope he is because I know he will be gorgeous, but also...

    13 Months Old with tiny wattles

    Hi! I have an "Ameracauna" (or was sold to me as such) that is 13 months old, has never layed an egg, and whose wattles have still not matured. She has wattles, they are just tiny pullet wattles. She also occasionally sings the egg song (has since last fall), squats, and follows the other hens...

    Serama Rooster Lost His Crow

    Hi! We have a serama roo named Elvis that we got back in the fall. He used to live in a litter pan at a feed store and has always been full of personality and very talkative. However, he has stopped crowing. He stills clucks and squawks and eats and drinks and bosses the hens, but when he wants...

    We have four hens that we raised from week old chicks back in March. Three of them have been laying since late summer. The one who still hasn't is named Toaster (my daughter is four and names all critters.) Toaster was sold to us as an Ameraucana, although now I realize she is actually an EE...

    Integrating Bantam Roo w/Standard Hens

    We got a bantam roo at the feed store today. I've been eyeing him for awhile because he is so ridiculously cute as has the most adorable crow. I have four standard size hens. Right now, he is in his own pen where he and the girls can stare at each other. I will continue this for three days at...

    Dropped Egg-How Much trouble am I in?

    I just dropped an egg in the run while gathering and the hens swarmed it! They were eating it before I had a chance to react. I dropped it outside in the run, will they start cracking eggs in the nest box now? It smashed when I dropped it, so they didn't break it themselves. I'm so worried...

    Newbie - Is this behavior OK?

    Hi! We decided to get some laying hens this year, both for eggs and for general enjoyment. We started off with three chicks we've raised from a week old, a RIR, a barred rock, and an easter egger. They are now 8 weeks, fully feathered, and general sweetie peeties. I also have a four year old...
