    What breed is this pullet?

    I purchased 12 chicks from two different TSC's last month, and I think I've figured out what they all are, except for two. They're both the same, they look like this: I'm totally stumped! Any ideas? Thanks! Rae

    Eggs tasting funny?

    I have ten laying hens right now, ranging in ages from one to four years. All of my eggs go to my mom, and lately she's been complaining about them tasting funny, like teflon. At first it started with just one, and I think, going by her description, I had figured out it came from either my full...

    Tick control--what to use??

    Hey all! I'm trying to find a chicken-friendly insecticide besides DE. (DE's annoying with the whole deactivated-with-water thing. ) Anyone know of anything? We have ticks EVERYWHERE, it's insane, and we're going crazy! Thanks for any help!

    Can you help ID these chicks?

    I got some chicks from Tractor Supply recently out of the "assorted bantam" bin, and am trying to figure them out. This guy looks like a sebright, but the color? Don't they only come in gold & silver? I assumed this guy was a cochin, but he has poofy cheeks?? Partridge? Breed...

    Three cochin roosters free in Arkansas

    Hey guys, I have three boys I need to find homes for. One is a blue standard, about nine months old, one is a splash standard, looks about five or six months old, and one is a mutt bantam, maybe birchen & red, who's about two years old. The splash can be seen here...

    This bird really has me confused!

    Hey guys! Yesterday I acquired two splash standard cochins who I *thought* were both hens. But this one is confusing me. It has the stance of a roo, and pointy/shiny saddle feathers. But tiny comb & wattles, and no spurs to speak of. And it talks like a hen! I just don't get it. lol With the...
