I order chickens from mypetchicken.com and have a mystery chick. I don't know what breed this little four week of chick is. Looks to be a rooster big comb with hint of red already .
I was wondering if Icelandic Chickens are a good choice to place out in our back 30 acres with our cattle and sheep. I just can't seem to get my hands on any. I've reached out to online hatcheries, Red Feather Farm and Aragorn Heritage Farm, but their is no response from either farms.

Happy Spring up in New Jersey/Pennsylvania Area. This Monday between children, dogs and Adults 22 ticks. So a local Farmer told me that Chickens Eat a Tick, but Poop a Tick, but only guineas and turkeys eat a tick and kill a tick.
Can anyone tell me what is true
Hi everyone,
My Red Sex Link egg color changed from light brown to a cream color. She is a year and a half old and she laid a lot of double yolk eggs and her eggs are bigger then Jumbo eggs. They are the size of my Royal Plum turkeys eggs. My chickens free range from sun up to sun down, but...

today is a sad day. I had a heat lamp plugged in, clamped to the very top shelf. It wasn't on. Durning the night, we are asumming, a chicken jumped up on the shelf and knocked it down and when it hit hit the ground it turned on. It caused a small fire and burned a hole in the floor of the...
I think she's a he. My other easter rooster had the same kind of crown at this age too.
Here is my other Eastern Egger Rooster. My two roosters like to hang out together
