    An Araucana Bantam Or Just A Mix....

    I picked up this cute little hen plus a bantam RIR rooster. Do araucanas even come in bantam size? Also, any idea what color she might be? In other words, what is she (other than a chicken)? Thanks!

    Andalusian Cock Or Pullet???

    I don't see any hackles or sickle feathers but its comb & waddles sure are big. Has little spurs too. I have not heard any crowing, nor gotten any eggs from this bird. Its missing a few tail feathers 'cause it decided to fly over the fence when two of my dogs were in the backward and, well...

    Woohooo

    None of my hens have laid any eggs since Oct. My SS started laying an egg every other day about 2 weeks ago. Look at what I discovered this afternoon in two different nests!!! I know the greenish-blue eggs are from my bantam EE, and that the larger brown eggs could be from my SS, BR or SLW...

    WOOHOOOO---1st egg laid in over two months!!!!

    All my hens quit laying back 1st of October... But my little bantam EE presented me with a mint green egg yesterday. What a good girlie! I'm hoping the others will follow suit. 4 laying hens plus 3 pullets on the verge of laying consuming 50 lbs of crumbles a month and no eggs is tough!

    Not Sure Which Topic This Should Go In.....but

    a friend gave me two hamburgs (roo and pullet) that have humpbacks. the roo not so bad; the pullet's hump is to such a degree that her tail feathers are angled to the left side of her body and almost touch her left wing feathers. i assume this is a genetic abnormality as roo & pullet are from...

    One Food For Difference Ages?

    I have one 8+ mth old hen, 2 five mth old pullets and 3 three mth old pullets....my feed store only sells 50 lb bags so that's a lot of food that will go to waste. Can I put them all on one food (ie: like flock raiser or a grow out food) then supplement for the one hen? Any advice or...

    The Worst Predator

    Someone opened the gate to my backyard and to my hen yard. The type of locks were predator proof-only human hands could undo the locks. 4 of my dogs were missing when I went outside to check on them after they had been out for about 15-20 minutes. Fortunately, I rounded up all 4 dogs... All...

    Not Sure This Is The Right Forum But.......

    it is a story. My next door neighbors wrote in to the local newspaper complaining about my rooster crowing. So being the good neighbor, I rehomed rooster. I only have hens now. The other day I was out refilling their feeder and I heard a 'sound'. Did I really hear what I thought I heard...

    LIGHT BRAHMA CHICK question

    I've had the chick since 3/29/10...along with 4 other chicks. It is smaller than the other chicks (EE, sussex and andalusian), not as feathered out and has only three 1/4" tail feathers. Its a very lively chick...no problems that I can see except for the lack of feathers. Should I be...

    LIGHT BRAHMA CHICK question

    The chick is about 5-6 wks old. The neck feathers developing look like hackles to me. This chick has a different looking body from the other chicks (all same age and all are suppose to be pullets). Is it too early yet to conclude this chick is going to be a rooster? thanks

    My andalusian hen was being snotty a little bit ago and jumped one of the australorp hens...had her by the feathers on the back of the neck and was on top of her. The australorp was yelling bloody murder! The roo rushes over to the fray, grabs the andalusian by the head and yanks her bodily...

    It Is Possible 4 Hen To Lay Egg Without Shell?

    I guess gathered 13 eggs but I noticed there was yolk all over a few (the hens are all laying in the same nest). I didn't find any egg shells whatsoever anywhere...inside the coop or outside the coop. I thought maybe it was a broken shell but I washed every egg and found none broken. Any ideas?
