I have a splash silkie roo and a red frizzle cochin hen. will I get a sizzle? the breeds section says a sizzle is silkie X cochin frizzle. BUT it doesn't say which is the roo? does it matter? what color do you think I will get? smooth feathers? or silkie feathers? frizzle or not frizzle?
Lordy I...

I cant believe I never asked this? What do 'scovie eggs look like? I have 3 Chocolate 'scovies, 2 girls and a boy? I found 2 strange looking eggs in the coop, they are kind of green? I do have easter eggers but the eggs are bigger and they dont look right. Do duck eggs smell different? (no...
I just had an attack the whole bird was there BUT the rear end and the insides all the way into the rib cage was missing. and Feathers all over the place. After looking at the forum I'm thinking my attack was a opossum or skunk? What do u think?? I'm not sure. all I know is that i'm getting a...
We have a kiddie pool now and in the mornings it is frozen. what do you guys do for "swimming" in the winter. do they NEED it? or is a waterer (for drinking) all they need?
I hatched out mixed breeds this spring (it was so fun). I got 2 brahma Easter Egger hens. both are from brahma hens (tan ish egg) and EE daddy (same daddy). one girl lays a tan ish egg and the other lays a darker green egg! I thought what color they hatched from is the color egg their gonna...
I noticed her limping yesterday so last night when she was on the roost I looked at her foot and sure enough it is bumble. her pad is swollen to at least 3x what the other one is and it has what lookes like a scab and is very hard. :sigh: so as I read, I need to do surgery (hope I can stomach...
I went to the coop this morning and found her half dead. she died in my arms 5 mins later. I believe cause an egg broke inside of her.
Any one know what the signs are that a hen has an egg stuck? she was fine yesterday as far as I know.
ok I have looked and looked but I still haven't found my answer. My question is, How long does it take a delaware to get to its heaviest weight? Every place says how big they get but not how long it takes to get that big. We're looking for a self sufficiant meat bird. Thanks for the help

I got 28 cornish X and 1 is a bit smaller than the rest, about 5 days ago I noticed this one wasn't walking much.... it doesn't go to the feeder. I have to put feed and the waterer right next to it. It scarfs down the food and water. the other ones just walk all over it like it's not even...
I was just wondering instead of me dragging this chicken tractor around 4 x's a day can I just let them un caged all day and lock them up at night?? Not like their gonna run away!
I raised fatties last year and all they did was sit at the feeders all day. last year I had 15 ish and this year I...

I'm looking for the person with the avatar with the spiral egg holder. I know I've seen it here but I can't find him/her now. I just want to ask where they got the egg holder that's on their counter.
I can't find anywhere in the US that sells those spiral egg holders. The one that you put the eggs in the back of the line and use the eggs in the front of the line and they all roll down the spiral giving you the oldest eggs first. You know like those soda can dispensers for in the fridge...
