    Salmon Favorelle Roo or Pullet?

    I’m a bit confused on one of my Salmon Favorelles. It does have some black feathers on its chest which I know is normally a cockerel sign but it’s not a big block of them and it otherwise is pretty similar to its sister in appearance. Not sure if it’s just because it’s hatchery quality or if...

    Mystery Chick Breed ID?

    Somehow I ended up with three mystery chicks. Two of them were supposed to be wellsummers but clearly are not, I can’t remember what the other was supposed to be. Originally I thought some kind of red/golden sex link but they seem to have barring. Any ideas on breed?

    Introducing Puppy to Flock

    Hello everyone, I'm wondering about how to go about introducing a puppy to my flock. The pup in question will be an Australian Shepherd. The flock has run of the entirety of the yard- about 1/2 an acre that's fenced. I'm assuming that keeping the puppy leashed initially is best but beyond that...

    Black Mystery Chick

    Does anyone know what breed this chick is? Intended to get a barred rock from the feed store and ended up with this chick which is definitely not a barred rock. It looked different than the BR chicks online but I realized it really wasn’t barred rock when I went back to the feed store and saw...

    Broody Hen?

    I have a hatchery Jersey giant that seems to me to be broody. It started Sunday- she'd been in the coop most of the day and finally I was concerned and went to move her. She didn't want to go and she was sitting on two eggs- one of hers and an EE. After that she went outside and I collected the...

    Quarantine for new bird

    Yesterday I acquired a new bird by chance. I got a call from a friend who'd had chickens in the past before moving to a place where they were under a HOA. She'd spent 45 minutes chasing a chicken in a parking lot before catching her. The bird in question is a RIR hen that appears to be very...

    12 Week old Silkie Roos in Central Texas

    $20 for the pair or $10 each. They're attached to each other at the moment, so going as a pair would work well. One is a blue the other is splash(?). Located in San Marcos, Texas which is in between Austin and San Antonio.

    12 week old Silkie- Roo right?

    Just wanted to double check on this silkie before we give it away. His brother started crowing this morning and I'm 99% certain that this is a roo too, but I'm not very experienced. The one behind it is the one that crowed.

    Worming?

    So I know I've heard a lot of talk about worming chickens, but I'm not entirely sure what's true and what's not. I'm hoping some of you guys can better inform me. My girls haven't yet been let out into the yard, which is where my dog also gets let out. I was told that if they're out where the...
