I purchased this bird at 5 weeks old supposed to be a pullet but looking at her/him he is big. I feel like it might be a roo but I'm in denial so I thought I would get other's feedback. Also wondering if it might not be a pure breed. Thoughts? He or she is 4 months ish...
I have 12 hens and a duck. I had 2 roosters. I noticed 4 of the hens had major feather loss on their back, and wings and some even around the vent and chest area. I thought some of it was due to over mating and some might be due to bullying. I got rid of my roosters and none of the feathers have...
I have a cockeral who looks to be a leg horn mix who literally spend every waking moment eating it seems. Every time I go out to the run he is at the food bowl sometimes even laying at it and still eating. Is he just super lazy? He isn't fully matured yet and has yet to crow or mount a lady. I'm...
Long story short I did straight run and ended up with all boys. I am able to keep one and have already re-homed one but I still need to find a home for these 2 darlings. They are getting to the age where they need their own territory. They aren't around any females at the moment so they get...
I was given straight run chicks. All turned out to be roos. I was told that these were Polish but I don't see a crazy awesome top hat. Could they be something else? or a cross?
I have 3 handsome boys we weren't expecting to be boys that need new homes. We are going for an egg laying operation and I don't have the heart to eat these boys.
I have 1 Bantam roo who is a good looking guy. ~17-18 weeks old
I have 2 Polish Cross roos. They don't have much of a top hat...
We just had it confirmed at all 4 of our straight run chicks from a Pre-K class are all cockerels. We will be keeping 1 but would like to see if any flocks out in the area are in need of some pretty cool boys. We have 1 Bantam Cross and he is pretty awesome. We knew he was a boy from the...
We received 4 chicks at the age of 4 weeks from a Pre-K class that hatched them before Easter. They were the only survivors of the lot. The person who gave the eggs to the class said that they were Polish and Bantam eggs. I believe they are not sure either of these 2 breeds. They may have some...
Joined up today! Wanted to be sure to join a place with lots of support and lots of folks that frequent the website. Looking forward to getting some feedback.
Currently we have Four 13 week old birds. Three are Polish and one is a Bantem cross. Not sure of the sexes just yet. I posted on a...
Howdy! I'm new to chickens. We got our first 4 on March 25 and they were 4 were 4 weeks old. That makes them 13 weeks old. We know that 3 of them are Polish Top Hats and 1 is a Bantem mix. We are pretty sure the Bantem is a male but are unsure about our Polish. All of them still love to cuddle...
