    Too cute to say no (South Floridians)

    It's me again, trying to help my over zealous principal, who over ordered eggs for our school to hatch. We can only house 4-6 pullets. The only breed I can recognize is the two Barred or Plymouth Rocks, and maybe one RIR? This is first batch of six one month old's. I can see definitely one male...

    To early for gender reveal, but any guesses on breeds?

    What started off as a stray chicken on our school grounds ,and me mentioning how great to raise a FEW on school grounds for the students to enjoy and learn about, turned to 12. Long story short my principle ordered 24 eggs... and we now have 12 lovely chicks. We can keep only 4-6 pullets. They...

    I just don't know....

    I just found my new gal Mazie, dead in her nesting box and I'm not sure what happened. She was treated for Coryza last month and seemed fine, gaining weight and looking more perky. This past week, I did notice that acted a bit standoffish during treat handout time. I attributed this to possibly...

    I just found my little hen Mazie dead in her nesting box. She was my newer gal that I treated last month for Coryza. She'd been stand offish this week during treat handouts, but I thought that maybe my RIR Dorothy was bullying her. I woke up an isolated Dorothy to the side yard to give Mazie...

She was raised until about 6 months of age, with a Roo, who we had to re-home. You all helped me ID him as a him. We traded for Lucy.(same age but half...
