Hi,
I have 4 mixed barred rock bantam chicks and can't seem to tell what's what. They all have the same dad (my purebred bantam barred rock cock "Sheriff"). The biggest one (Pistachio) has an unknown mom, but one of my large fowl hens. The other 3 (Penguin, Pickles, and Pepper) have the same...
Hi,
I am incubating 4 eggs. I was candling day 7 to check them and saw something I can't figure out. I see veins and movement, so I know its alive, but there are 2 weird small black lines in the egg on the one side. When i candle the egg from the small end i can also see a little "dip?" where...
I need to rehome my 3 Roosters. They are purebred and sweet. 10 weeks old. My only other option is to take them to the auction, which I'm trying to avoid for my daughters. They would make great roos for showing at fairs. Let me know. Would be willing to drive partway to drop off. I'm in Florida
I have 3 - 8 week old cockerels that need rehomed. They are sweet and turning into handsome boys. My daughters hatched them out as a summer 4h project. They would make a good addition to someones flock or as a 4h fair project. I am willing to drive to meet someone to drop them off. I'm located...
Hi!
I have 3 purebred cockerels that need homes. They are 7 weeks old and very sweet. I have a Partridge cochin, a White cochin, and a Buff orpington. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks
Hi all!
We have 6 chicks. 4 are 3 weeks old, 2 are 5 weeks old. I thought anyone could have some fun guessing the gender of our little babies. I know it's early, but let's see if anyone can get them all right. I'll post updates as the weeks go. One is already obvious. The mixed breed chicks are...
Hi,
I had an australorp hatch out 2 babies 4 weeks ago. She has been a great mother. All of the sudden she seemed to lose interest in them yesterday. She also laid an egg yesterday. This morning she was carrying on and wanting to get of of their pen. I let them out and she took off. A little...
So we have 2 mixed breed barred rocks. Their dad is a purebred barred and we're not sure which hens are their moms. They are 2 weeks old. Do the rules for sexing barred rocks still apply? Here are some pics of the chicks in question...

Hi! We are letting our one broody sit on 2 eggs from our flock. Things are going well and they are developing. I candled them day 10 and marked the air cell. I just rechecked them day 14 and the air cell isn't any bigger. Now I'm worried. We live in Florida, so already high humidity, and it's...
Hi everyone!
I don't post often, so a little backround. My family has had chickens for 2-3 yrs now. We've enjoyed every minute and so many different aspects of raising chickens. We have raised peeps ranging from a few days old (shipped to us), feed store babies (a week) , and some given to us(a...
Hi. I need help with the dosing amount of medicine for my rooster. It's duramycin 72-200 injectable. He weighs 2 lbs. It was recommended by tsc, but they weren't sure on the dose. Thanks
Hi ya'll!
We just got a BR rooster. Not sure of his age (maybe 6 months?), but he's a beautiful boy! I just wanted to know anyones thoughts/experiences on the temperament of BR roosters. This is our first rooster, we've only had hens. He is skittish about being picked up, but once you have him...
Hi!
I have had my flock for the last year and a half. My flock consists of 8 hens, assorted breeds. We've raised them all from chicks. Everyone has been happy and healthy with no problems, not even mites, until 2 months ago. I spend about 10-15 mins every morning watching them after they are...
