    What mix do you think this cockerel is??

    I got this little guy as a chick, of course hoping for a pullet, lol. But he is too sweet so far and actually quite pretty. No one knew what mix he was...I'm thinking he may have some buff orpington?? But not sure of other? What do you all think. He is about 6 months old.

    Color questions

    Not sure if this is the right thread...curious about a few things. When it comes to a speckled sussex hen, how is that transferred to chicks? Is it like barring? And then what about Chocolate Orpingtons? I lost my rooster but have two hens left. Breeding to another color, just for backyard mix...

    Bad news...thoughts?

    I have to begin this with a warning. Make sure you always quarantine new chickens for the 30 days...if not, you'll end up making/paying a costly mistake. I am relatively new to chickens, coming up on my 2nd year and I have added new adult birds with no problem. I did that last year... This...

    Not sure what's wrong.

    This is miss Merida. She is a partridge rock and rhode island red cross I hatched out April 12th. The last few days, she isn't herself, or at least acting chicken like as the rest. She just standa there all fluffed up. As you can see, she isn't quite laying yet. But her comb is pretty pale and...

    Not sure what to do :-( need advice

    So, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this or not. I am needing some guidance. About 1.5 months ago, I sold two cockerels, 14 weeks and 11 weeks old and gave away two week old black laced wyandottes. About a week after I sold them, I had some baby birds pass. I originally...

    Worm Medicine

    I've been reading on here that Valbazen is the best wormer to use. Can you also put it in the water for the birds? Or is there one that you can. I have 36 birds and it will be hard to dose each one individually. Thanks for the help!!

    Large, Boggy Crop

    So, I've not had to deal with any crop issues since owning chickens, but I figured my time was coming. I got three English Chocolate Orpingtons yesterday and the cockerel has a large, boggy crop. I saw it last night, when I got them about 730ish and this morning when I let them out, it is...

    My new coop ^_^

    So, I totally have to share with other people that are chicken crazy too! My family thinks I'm silly for this, hehe. Our neighbor was going to trash an old shed that we converted into my new coop! It was totally in shambles. After three new windows, new door, plywood, trim, floor/foundation...

    Pullet or cockerel?

    I've got two here that I'm thinking are cockerels...just checking others thoughts! One is a lavender orpington and the other is a barred rock. Both are almost 9/10 weeks old.

    Roosters for sale--Indiana

    I have a handful of roosters I hatched April 12th. They are pretty and full of personality. I'm bringing in a blue copper marans rooster and a blue Ameraucana...I'm not going to need these fellas. Thought I'd give them a chance! Let me know if interested! Partridge Rock RIR x PR cross (2 of...

    Cockerel?

    This little red and white is about 5 weeks. It is an Ameraucana but does not meet color standard, so according to rules, it makes it EE (Not sure I like the rules, but I get it). I'm pretty sure that it is a cockerel. Wanted to get other opinions on it too. He has a raised red comb and the...

    Unbalanced walking and not eating

    I was given a light brahma pullet 1 week ago. I went out to the coop/run tonight to check on everyone and noticed that she isn't walking well and doesn't seem like she feels well at all. As she walks, she staggers to one side then the other using her wing on that side to balance and push her up...

    Olive Egger Questions?

    I am thinking about starting some Olive Eggers, but I cannot decide on the Roo. I know Black Copper Marans lay the darkest eggs but I am in love with the Blue Copper Marans. I have seen some Blue Copper eggs that are pretty dark. Has anyone used a Blue Copper? Should I just go with a Black...

    Lavender Orpington? cockerel?

    I got this little lavender orpington from Hoover Hatchery and curious if anyone thinks that it is a cockerel. Compared to the other one I've received, it has huge legs/comb and towers over the others in the broader. I posted in another thread and they ask me to repost on main to see if it is...

    Pullet or Roo?

    Of the 7 I got in February, these two make me a little concerned...they are pretty red in their combs and wattles. The grey is an olive egger and of course a buff Brahma. The OE is almost 10 weeks and the brahma is about 8 weeks. None of my others are red like this. No crowing yet, but they are...

    Cross beak chick...suggestions?

    Out of 27 chicks, this is the only chick to have this issue. It's an Ameraucana x Partridge Rock cross...both parents don't exhibit it. So it's either carried or this happened in the incubator, hatching, etc. The Partridge Rock is dad to all the babies. Anywho, I've done reading about birds...

    Rooster attacking hen...what do I do?

    I have a 1 year old partridge rock rooster. Who is pretty friendly as far as roosters go. Last fall, we acquired an Ameraucana hen, when he was 5 months old. She integrated into the flock pretty well and every one was getting along. Over the last month, I have noticed that she is out less and...

    Hen or Roo? Olive egger gender help!

    I got three olive eggers the week of Valentine's Day ^_^ I also got rooster insurance just in case, but of course are supposed to be pullets. I'm not sure about 2 of the 3. I think the last two may be roosters...seem really red to me? I'm pretty positive #1 is a pullet. They are about 7 to 8...

This year, I offered our fertilized eggs so we could get ours hatched ^_^ We have a partridge rock rooster over RIR, EE, ISA Brown, Ameraucana, and another Partridge rock! We are super excited. My question is, so far, everything is going...
