    How old do you think these RIR chicks are?

    Hey y'all! Just picked up some RIR straight run chicks at the Tractor Supply. I wanted to feather sex them, but it looks like they have all already developed the feathers on their wings. Outside of vent sexing, is there anything else I can do to get a guess as to the sex of the chicks? Thanks...

    Ameraucana Cross..... Ameraucana?

    Hey all! Got a question about genetics here. Hopefully I'm in the right forum location. If you cross a silver Ameraucana roo, with a splash Ameraucana hen, based on my understanding, you would get an EE? Is that correct? I'm not an expert with chicken genetics, lol. But my research has said...

    What breed of rooster?

    Hey y'all! Someone near me is offering two roosters for free. Specifically, I am wanting a Rhode Island Red Roo for breeding purposes. She doesn't know what the breeds are.

    So how do I keep this ball rolling?

    Hey y'all! Got a quick question for ya. Too keep things short, I just found a fertile egg from one of my hens (first time ever for me)! Normally I gather the eggs every day or every other day. This time it was a few days before I got to them (intentionally, as my hen was broody for the first...

    I'm unprepared for this! What do I do!?

    Hey all! So I have a Hen (Easter Egger) that has had her eggs fertilized and she is sitting on them!! Unfortunately, I found out that they were fertilized by cracking two open for breakfast this morning. She may have had more fertilized, but long story short the eggs broke in transportation to...

    Need some advice on feed. Got a dead Hen :'(

    Hey Y'all, got a question concerning chicken feed. Bear with me here. What has me thinking about feed is the fact that one of my hens (an Isa Brown) passed away yesterday. The cause of her death is unknown. She seemed absolutely fine just the day before! That being said, I wasn't paying the...

    Barred Rock Cockerel or Pullet?

    Hey y'all, first post here (with a few more to come). I want a rooster for my flock. Specifically, I want a Barred Rock. So I went to Tractor Supply about a week and a half ago (I think). I saw that they finally were carrying straight run Barred Rocks! I already have 7 hens, and 5 pullets, so I...
