    Did I make a mistake?? :(

    I am worried that I made a poor decision to trade half of my small flock. I had three 14 week light Brahmas (2 cockerels and 1 pullet) and one 12 week black austrolorp pullet. My austrolorp is a crossbeak with 1 eye and doesn't travel too far from the run even though they have free run of...

    Cochin gender (face pics only)

    I'm about to trade my bonded cockerel/pullet pair for these 2 cochins. They are 10 weeks and she "is guessing" they are pullets. I know this isn't much to go on but what do you think?

    Keeping 2 Roos?

    I have a small flock of 4 that have been together since hatch. They are 13 weeks old and 2 of them have turned out to be cockerels. So far they are all very mellow birds. Is there any chance I could keep them all together without issue? Someone was trying to tell me that since they've always...

    Light Brahma- cockerel?

    I have three 13-14 week old Light Brahmas. I know one is a pullet and one is a cockerel. The other one I really think is a cockerel too, and I'm about to trade it for a pullet but I was wondering what y'all think. It's face has has recently become just as red as the cockerel, and it has...

    Odd looking tail feathers

    One of my 12 week old Light Brahmas has no middle tail feathers. Is this normal? Why is it like this?

    Crossbeak trimming help

    My little crossbeak, Ally, is 9 weeks old. I've never trimmed her beak because she hasn't had any problems eating. But I feel like her top beak is so curved and I'm worried it's going to cause problems for her. She still has a full crop when I check on them every night but when I pick her up...

    Brahma Rooster Temperament

    I have three 8 week old Light Brahmas. I am 99% sure one of them is a rooster. I have 2 toddlers and just had to re-home our polish rooster due to aggression towards them. Just looking for other people's experience with Brahma Roos. Aggresive or not? Thanks.

    Help! Raising a Rooster around kids??

    I am 99% sure one of my Brahmas is a rooster. They are 8 weeks old. Is there anything I can do to help ensure it does not get aggressive towards my toddlers? We just had to re-home our 7 month old polish rooster and I really don't want to have to do that again. Handle him more? Less? Keep hand...

    5 wk Light Brahmas

    Pullets or Cockerels?? Zazu is a lot bigger than the other 2. Zazu's comb is more red than the others. Sobe is the smallest and the only one whose tail feathers don't seem to stick up. I'm worried Sobe may be the only pullet...please tell me I'm wrong!

    Couple Questions...

    My Brahmas are 4 weeks old and one is quite a bit bigger than the other 2. Could they still all 3 be pullets? Also, the biggest one (Zazu) seems to have gotten poop all over her... Can I just wipe her off with a wet towel or what should I do? I also have a 1.5 week old chick with one eye and...

    Rooster meets chick (+chick pics)

    My 5 month old Roo (Fro) has always been able to get right up to the brooder in the run. But today one of my 3 chicks (Sobe) hopped out as I was getting their feeder out so she got to "officially" meet Fro. I let them check each other out for like 2 minutes and then put Sobe back but I was...

    Roo becoming aggresive towards me...

    He's 5 months old and we've had him for 3 weeks. He's my first chicken (I now have 3 chicks also) and he was pretty nice when I got him. Well last night he pecked at my foot when I walked by and then a few minutes later ran at me. This morning when I went to open up the run to let him out for...

    How can I make this better?

    My fiance and I built this coop/run without any planning or much research. We have a 5 month old polish roo and 3 light Brahma chicks. The idea was that there would be 3 nesting boxes. I just put that roost up the other day but it's too high. My little guy still just sleeps on the edge of a...

    Chicks Day 3 (with pics)

    I've had these chicks for 3 days now (got them at 2 days old) and I might be a little obsessed with them lol. This is my first time ever raising chicks so I still feel pretty clueless but so far so good. My toddlers helped me pick their names out before we got them. Today I officially assigned...

    Is this set up plan okay??

    We have a 4 or 5 month old Polish Roo. He is my first chicken. We have had him him for about 2 weeks and built a coop for him. We are now getting 3 Brahma (or maybe 2 brahma and 1 orpington) chicks tomorrow. They will only be 2 days old. I'm kind of freaking out because I feel like I have no...

    How do I choose breed?

    We have a 5 month old Polish Rooster and are looking to get 2 hens. Our local feed store will have 2 day old chicks this Friday and we plan on buying 3... What kind do I get? We are mostly just wanting our rooster to have companions and of course, we want eggs. I have read that Polish can often...
