Hi all! I have a 9 1/2 week old barnyard mix chick and I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion on what gender she/he is. I though that he/she is looking a little red in the comb and wattle for that age and also might have some rooster tail feathers coming in? Im hoping its a hen. :fl
Thanks for...
Hello! I'm hoping somebody on here can help me understand why my hens aren't laying? I have 15 hens and 2 roosters and I haven't gotten a single egg for over a month! I have a mix of 3 year old, 2 year old, and 1 year old hens. There is no way they could be retiring.....right? We put out a...
We just hatched some chicks a few days ago and our two broody hens are sharing chicks! One of them hatched two and the other one hatched one! I'm so surprised they're not fighting over the chicks! It's really cute how the chicks just run over the watermelon like a bridge back and forth to each...
Someone just dumped these two in my front pen today. I'm unfamiliar with the Polish breed but assuming this is a Polish Rooster? He's much smaller than my rooster (copper Maran mix) so I'm assuming he's young or is the breed just small? Thanks for any help. I want to be accurate when I post them...
Hi! I need some input on the gender of my chick. We're not sure if he/she is a roo or hen. We hatched him/her ourselves and we think he/she is an Americauna Copper Maran mix. The chick is ten weeks old. Here are some pics. By the way he is the pure brown chick.:)
Thank you for any info!
Hi! I was wandering if a deleware rooster and a black australorp hen had a chick what would it look like?
Also what if a deleware rooster and a buff orphington hen had a chick together what would it look like?
Thanks for the replies!
Hello! I have a 3 month - 1 week old deleware. I am looking for opinions on whether he/she was a pullet or a cockerel. I'm noticing more prominent feathers around the neck area and she/he has always seemed tall for his/her age although I've never had another Delaware to compare to. Here are the...
This little chick hatched July 10th. So she's 5 days old as of this afternoon. We got the eggs from a friend who was babysitting her neighbors chicken so have no idea what the breed options might be. Anyway, at first glance I thought Buff! Then by day 5 I thought Wow! you have very long legs...
Hello! I'm 11 years old and have my first dairy goat. She is a nigerian dwarf saanen cross and was born 3/10/15. I was wanting to breed her as soon as its safe for her. I have read online that 80 pounds is a good weight to breed but wanted to see if anyone had suggestions since she's crossed...
Hello! We have a very broody hen right now with her 11 day old eggs and something very weird happened this afternoon. She had 3 eggs that we had candled last night and two of the eggs looked nice and healthy and the last one seemed dead so we took the dead one out and left the other two. Then we...
