    Before we cull this guy - what can he create?

    I have this Easter Egger Rooster (around 4 months old) - who is on the chopping block for Thursday, (he’s getting more aggressive) but he’s pretty and I can’t find anyone who wants to rehome him because he’s not very nice. What could I breed him with and create what colored chicks? I might...

    Prediction of sex & color

    Just playing around with my own flock for myself (not showing or selling…if anything might make chicks for a friend that wants chickens) These are my two roosters at the moment. Both are Easter Eggers. (I don’t like the comb on the black one, it’s huge and floppy..deformed imho) I’ve been...

    Roosters? (Photos)

    So I’ve been trying to get a white & Black Easter Egger….the farm store ordered hens only….but the first one I raise was definitely a rooster and now has a flock of his own.

    Easter Egger Gender Guess

    gangrene / amputation? (Photos)

    I originally wanted help regarding home amputation-but after reading several posts gangrene does not seem to be a concern. It’s a 1 week old Easter Egger. Soaking in epson salt and/or benedine & apply Neosporin seems the best route until it falls off….correct??? Can you give aspirin for...

    Chicks foot is dying/vet? (Pictures)

    The woman at the farm store got a batch of chicks and one had some sort of flesh colored thing wrapped around its leg. She took it off but didn’t want to sell the chick to someone incase it died. And the store owner was going to cull it, so she asked me if I’d take it. I said sure, but the foot...

    Can She Lay Eggs???

    One of my chicks either broke her leg or hip (I’m not sure) we have been nursing her and this is the final result (see photos) She’s not quite to egg laying age yet, but soon…she seems to walk and sit clumsy but fine as long as she’s separated from her siblings that trample her. I do put her...

    Full crop feeding question

    At what age do you start to give the chicks oyster shell? I went to purchase some and the sales clerk at the feed store said the chicks are too young, but their crops appear to need it? It's been two years since I've had chicks and I'm amazed at how quickly some of this information has left...

    Weak chick (picture and video) ideas???

    I have a chick that seems to rest an awful lot, I had not seen her eat or drink, so I separated her form the flock and gave her some food and probiotic water...then gave her a quiet place to rest... Upon observation it seems one of her legs is weak, but not easily detected so I'm not entirely...

    Anyone want to hatch out a twin egg along with others???

    I have some eggs I collected today and one is a twin...I'd be willing to ship to someone that will hatch them out and send me photos of what you get. I'd prefer someone that would like to hatch them as a pet, but I'm not that concerned if someone wants to hatch them out as meat birds either...I...

    duckling breed guess???

    My kids talked me into ducklings today...they are sharing a brooder with some baby chicks that are the same age. I'm guessing they are some sort of 'average every day farm bird' (nothing 'special') because I got them at the local pet shop. When I asked them what breed they were, they just said...
