So my chickens are starting to lay now they are about 21 weeks old (one started 2 weeks ago) and that was my barred rock who's only issue was some spotted eggs (but the spots were smooth) and recently my hen who we don't know the breed of started laying eggs but they don't seem to be coming out...
So my hens/pullets (not sure which to call them) are 5 months and 1 week old today and ever since my barred rock starting laying eggs (the only one laying eggs currently and a little before she started) she's become very food aggressive towards some of the chickens (the smallest Easter Egger...
I just checked on my 12 week old chickens and I noticed Pepper has part of her beak sticking out to the side and I don't want to mess with it but I'm wondering if it'll come off itself. I tried getting a good picture but she doesnt like the camera it looks like
So I let out my little guys into the living room/kitchen to explore and I noticed one pecking at this ones foot so then I realized it had blood, it's not bad and it stopped bleeding but they will still peck at it because it's red. If I keep it alone without it in my lap it just whines and...
I've read a couple posts on this however I don't think mine have a nutrition problem. They don't pull their feathers out or anything it's only when there's a feather on the floor that one will grab it with others chasing it all over. I can't tell if they are trying to eat it on purpose or not...
I've posted pics for 2 out of my 6 chickens I was suspicious of being a male but now that they are about 6 weeks old I wanted to post pictures of each incase any are males that I haven't noticed yet and wanted to show them off :)
Chick #1- Roo (or Rue if female)
Chick #2- Pepper...
I've been looking through threads and had a quick question, is it possible for hens to have ANY pink in their combs at 4 weeks old? I know some breeds mature faster then others though. The problem is I've posted about my assorted chicks which I found out are barred rock and white rock (forgot...
I've waited a few weeks now and I've been highly suspicious that I have a rooster however I don't know the breed to know what's normal for it. I got it from the "assorted" group of pullets at Big R 4 weeks ago. I believe it's 4 week maybe a little older but it's always been bigger than the rest...
Hey guys, I noticed recently that my littlest chick of the bunch seems to vibrate when I pick her up (mostly her feet) I'm wondering if this is normal? She's a Rhode Island Red I got her almost 3 weeks ago and like I said she's smaller compared to the others (she might just be younger though)...
One of my Rhode Island Red chicks sounds like it's going through a voice change at 2 weeks old, most of the time it's "peep peep" but once in a while I hear like what geese make. Is this an indication it's a male? Or is it completely normal? The others haven't been doing it that I'm aware of I...
Sorry not great quality, this is one of my Easter Eggers I got 3/3/16 should only be a week or so old and it looks uncomfortable where her (or he who knows at this age) wings are getting new feathers and is currently scratching at them. Is it possible for them to bother their wings too much and...
I've been taking pics non stop of my little chicks over the last week and I thought it would be fun to start a thread for posting chick pics!
You can post adult chickens as well but preferred is chicks
