    Pale, Very Tired/Lethargic Chicken

    UPDATE: My hen has since passed. Feel free to post what you think it could have been, and any steps you think I should take for my other two hens (who aren't currently exhibiting any symptoms). This is the third member of my original flock (which I'll now probably add to; yay?) that's died in...

    Well, My Capon Crowed Today

    I was sound asleep in my suburban house when at 6:55 AM I heard my capon Kashmir crow! At first I didn't believe it, but ten seconds later he did it again. I threw off the covers, grabbed my No Crow collar off of my desk, and ran outside before my neighbors found out where the crow was coming...

    Caponizing in California

    Hey everyone, Is there anyone in the Central California area who has experience with caponizing? One of my pullets turned out to be a cockerel, and we've grown attached to him. We're not allowed to have a rooster in the suburbs, so there lies the dilemma. I would do it myself, but I'd hate to...

    SL Wyandotte Sexing at 3 Weeks Old

    Hey everyone, I bought 5 chicks from feed stores 3 weeks ago, and they are all supposed to be pullets. I still think they are, however I would like a second opinion for one of my two Silver Laced Wyandottes. She (will not ever call a he until she crows, haha) acts the same as the rest of them...

    I finally did it!

    Howdy everyone! I finally took the step and bought myself some chickens! I bought five pullets; 1 Rhode Island Red, 1 Buff Orpington, 1 Barred Rock, and 2 Silver Laced Wyandottes. Drove 8 hours round trip and to two different feed stores to get exactly what I wanted, and it was worth it! I'll...

    Wyandotte Crosses

    Hi, I think Wyandottes (and all of their color varieties) are one of the most beautiful chicken breeds, and I am interested in seeing some Wyandotte crosses that you all have bred (Silver Laced x Golden Laced, etc). Looking forward to seeing your fancy dinosaurs, thanks!

    Deciding Which Breeds to Get

    Howdy everyone. I'm going to be buying some chicks from the feed store within a week or so, and I'm having some trouble deciding which breeds I want. I will be buying four chicks, and I've pretty much decided the breeds for three of them. 1 Rhode Island Red, 1 Buff Orpington, 1 Barred Rock, and...

    Is this coop/run size alright?

    Hey everyone, I am currently in the planning stage of building my chicken coop, and I wanted to get other people's opinions on how many chickens I should get. Currently I am thinking of a 8' x 4.5' x 6' (LxWxH) run (extends under elevated coop) and a 3.5' x 4.5' x 4' coop. My measurements...

    I'm new to BYC, howdy!

    Hey everyone, I've used this forum for months, and I finally decided that I might as well become an "official" member! I'm currently starting to clear an area for the coop I will be building, and as soon as that's done I can buy the chicks, raise them inside while I build the coop, and then...
