Alright, so I'm pretty sure I've done a no no, but I wasn't sure what to do, so I just had to make a decision.
Our Silkie, Hollis has gone broody. Our first hen to do so, though Hollis raised a bunch of chicks at previous home. We live in Michigan where it is hovering around 5 degrees recently...
Hi all, we have 7 hens in our flock, and one rooster.
3 Black Sex Links
1 Old English Game Hen (named Lavender)
1 Golden laced Seabright (Seabiscut)
1 Polish Bantam (Donna)
1 Black Silkie (Hollis)
We got them all this summer, and have just started laying. Every day, we go out and get two or...
Alright, so we brought little Anderson the silkie rooster home last week, he's around 6 months old. Then after posting pictures of our frizzled Polish, Latrice Royal, discovered that she is in fact a he and now we have two beautiful roosters. Latrice is between 6 and 8 months old and has...
Hello all, we picked up Latrice a couple of weeks ago and after introducing a little silkie roo she had quite a reaction which got us thinking, is there a chance that she is in fact a he?
Couple of observations
No comb or wattles of any kind, not even a hint of any
Very quiet, doesn't make any...
Hi friends,
We have been building our flock and now have 8 beautiful ladies. We've got a mix of bantam and standard sizes, and nobody is laying yet. The Black Sex Links are starting to get very red faces so I've read that could mean they are close, but no eggs yet! The girls free range all day...
Hi all,
If you are a regular on the site, you may remember that we are the unlucky couple who got 5 chicks last June, and each one was a rooster! Over the course of the year, each rooster has been rehomed one by one. We had plans to keep our favorite, Princess the Leghorn, but he had no interest...
Hello all.
Just wanted to ask a quick question. If you look at our other threads you will notice that we got five chicks and all, yes all, of them were roosters. We basically had a bachelor pad for a while until the two Brahmas got a little big. We were lucky enough to find a new caring home...
Hello all;
Tonight we let two of our five roosters go to a good home, as you might remember, my wife and I posted in the "what gender is this?" section and found out that all of our chickens were male. We still love them as pets though and buy local eggs from a free range household up the...
Hatched in June! We have one more leghorn, but he crows all morning...:-)
#1 Big Fluffy...Brahma mix
#2 Little Fluffy. ..Brahma mix
#3 Marble...Barred Rock?
#4 Princess...Leghorn mix
Hi everyone! We have 5 chickens whom we love very much, and I swear that I heard a wimpy attempt at a crow a few days ago. They are all around 7-8 weeks old. We've narrowed down the possible roos to 2- Little Fluffy the Brahma/Marans mix, and Marble the Marans. Little Fluffy developed much...
Hello all;
My wife and I have been on the forums for a little bit watching all of these lovely coop posts and baby chick posts and it's been truly wonderful for us to finally get a chance to join in.
It all started weeks ago where we found three baby chicks on Craigslist, sadly only two made...
Hello all;
We're new here and are looking for a little bit of help. On Saturday I was filling up with gas near work. The area was off a very busy highway in the city, nowhere near where you would think ducks would be.
Just as I was about to leave I heard a very distinctive peeping noise...
