    Lavender Orpingtons/choosing the best cock?

    I hope this is the right place for this. I could really use some opinions on which of these 5 Lavender Orpington cockerels I should keep as my breeder. They where hatched in spring this year and one is a few weeks younger than the others (I am not sure which). Orange band has already slipped his...

    First time worming questions.

    I'm worming my chickens for the first time this spring and I have a few important questions first. I was able to find Safegaurd 10% paste and Piperazine dihyrochloride 53% powder. I am also 99% positive that some of the flock has gape worms. Which product would be the best to use? What dose and...

    First time with a limping chicken.

    When I went to feed the flock a few minutes ago I noticed that Hera, one of my 7.5 mo RSL pullets had not left the coop to eat. I went to check and found her up on the perches limping around. She was not like this earlier when I gave them scratch around 11:30. I picked her up and tucked her...

    Which incubator?

    So I'm getting an incubator for Christmas and I'm trying to decide between the hovabator and the little giant. They appear to be essentially identical. Does anyone have any experience with either? Here's the links http://incubatorwarehouse.com/hova-bator-basic-combo-kit.html...

    The dreaded 'what gender' question...7.5 weeks straight run.

I've tried not to have high expectations about the number of pullets but I'm still kinda scared to find out...Though I suppose less pullets in this batch means I have room for more in the spring hehehe! I've written under each pic which...

    My first chicks! Mixed breeds with weekly pic updates!!

    We've had these little guys since the 2nd and they hatched on the 31st. They are from a mixed breed certified organic flock from a nearby farm. We didn't ask what breeds are in the flock to make it even more of a surprise as they develop. these pics are from their first trip outside on Sunday...

    Supposed to be brown leghorns but I'm not so sure they are.

    These guys are supposed to be brown leghorns (they where a hatchery order) but they don't look like the pictures I've seen online for brown leghorns. Also two turned out to be beautiful roosters. They are about 5 months old now, what do you guys think?
