    Can you breed bantams and standards together?

    I have a very simple (and probably very silly) question! I was just wondering if it was possible to breed bantams and standards together, and what size chickens they would produce? I'm not interested in breeding birds, I'm just curious :) (Also sorry if this is the wrong category! I wasn't...

    Worried about stress...

    Just came home today and found out my mom and a bunch of other people have been working on the yard, including chainsawing the heck out of trees, breaking branches, digging, talking, etc... I'm extremely worried about stress because I had bought new 2 month old easter eggers literally just the...

    Fowl Pox questions

    I've recently noticed that my entire flock (two OEGBs, a wyandotte, and two EEs) have developed white/yellow/black "warts" on their wattles and comb, which if I recall correctly, is a symptom of cutaneous fowl pox. I've never had to deal with sick birds before except when my chicks were down...

    Extremely frustrated with LOUD chicken

    This is an issue that has been ongoinging for a very long time, but recently it's been getting worse. I have an Old English Game bantam (At least thats what I think) named Pepsi, and even though she's small, she makes the loudest, most aggravating noise in the history of chickens making noise...

    SLW Cockerel?

    I have a SLW that is approximately eight weeks old, and I really think that he is a cockerel. This is a problem since I can't keep roosters, and and I'm very worried he might start crowing while we are on vacation. I've heard that SLWs mature earlier than other breeds, but Im not really...

    How do I make my chickens stop roosting everywhere BUT the coop?

    This all started when I closed off the nest box after my pullets kept sleeping in it. Before then, my chickens all slept in the nest box as chicks, and they never used the roost. I later found out they shouldn't become accustomed to sleeping in them, so I blocked it off. Ever since I...

    Silver Laced Wyandotte cockerel?

    I'm thinking cockerel, but I'd like a second opinion. This guy is 6 weeks old. Also, when is he(?) going to start showing his white and black lacing? So far his feathers are mostly black.

    White/buff laced Easter Egger chick?

    Today while watching the 4 week old babies free range around the yard, I noticed that my EE chick, Cashew, was developing some odd markings on her hackle feathers. Upon closer inspection the feathers looked a lot like a lacing type pattern, with white on the inside and buff on the outside. Do...

    How do you sex a Wyandotte?

    I've heard some people on various threads talk about sexing Silver Laced Wyandottes, and one thing I've noticed pop up once in a while that SLWs, notably pullets, develop red coloring in their combs and wattles earlier than other breeds. Is this true, or just a myth? My 3 week old (Almost 4...

    What color will these chicks be when they grow up?

    Just wondering! These chicks were sold as Ameraucanas, but its most likely that they are Easter Eggers, especially due to their feet and eye colors, and just the fact that feed stores don't sell pure Ameraucanas. If anyone has owned chicks that look like mine, please post pictures of what they...

    Coccidiosis mystery: sick one day and healthy the next?

    About three days ago on Thursday, I bought two Ameraucana chicks. They were lethargic when I came home, and I diagnosed them both with Cocci. They didn't move, wouldn't drink or eat, and there was bloody poop in the brooder. The strange part is what happened the next day. Previously the...

    Wheaten or White color?

    Hi! Recently I purchased an 1 week old Ameraucana, (Most likely an EE though.) and I was hoping to get a wheaten color. I picked her out a little quickly, so I didn't get a good look at her wings until we were home. Are her feathers too light for a wheaten? I wasn't looking to get a white...

    Some photos of my new babies; what combs do they have?

    Just wanted to share some pictures! The first two are Ameraucanas/EEs, 1 week, and the last is a silver-laced Wyandotte, 2 weeks. And a quick question; what types of combs do they have? I know Ameraucanas/EEs should have pea combs, but I can't tell if these do. Cashew...

    Three new chicks have Cocci.

    Two of my new chicks, both only a week old, are down with Coccidiosis. I found a Tractor Supply Co store that sells Corid, but it says that it is for cattle. Would it still work for chickens? This here: http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/merial-coridreg%3B-20%25-powder-10-oz

    Are these breeds easy to find?

    (I apologize is this isn't the right section! I wasn't sure.) I'm going to buy some replacement young chickens/chicks after I give away my cockerels, so I was wondering, how easy is it to find these breeds (in the Dallas area), both online and locally? I can only keep bantams or small...

    Please help sex my 5 week old bantam!

    This is Pepsi! Out of all of my chicks, this is the only one I'm not sure about. I'm a little desperate for another pullet, because out of ALL of my chicks, only one of them is definitely a hen. I'm hoping for good news! Someone told me she is an Old English Game bantam, if that helps any ^^
