    Beautiful Easter Egger Roo Needs a Home - He's in King of Prussia, PA

    This handsome one year old needs a new home. I am reducing my flock and don't have the heart to have him turned into chicken stock. He was hatched within my flock last summer and hand raised. He's not aggressive, in fact he's a tad skittish and will very gently eat from your hand. His daddy...

    Newly Hatched EE! Gray? Blue? Boy? Girl?

    This little cutie hatched a few hours ago! I'm at a loss for the possible color and gender. I'd describe the color as a silvery gray, darker mask area with a pale yellow spot on top. The legs are darkish but I can't say for sure they are green/blue of an EE or black like the Australorps...

    EE Roos or Hens?

    11 weeks ago I hatched some EE chicks. One started to crow a few weeks ago so I sent him on his way along with a playmate. I have these two left, both green legged. I'd love to keep the cream colored one, but only if I can identify it's a SHE and not a HE. Can any one shed some light on...

    Columbian Wyandotte Roo - 16 wks - Free - Pick Up Only

    I have a 16 week old Columbian Wyandotte rooster that needs to find a good home. He is not blending well with my dominant EE roo. The little man is friendly and has already started to crow. He is definately a leader in the making and protectively watches over the gals he was raised with. He...

    Removing 2 wk old chicks from hen

    I came home today to find I am down one 2 wk old hatchling and another wounded, wing and leg. They, their mamma, my year olds and my teens are all loose while I work, so I'm not sure what happened, but clearly it was something - either a preditor or an aggressive hen/roo. That said, can I take...

    Hatched and Doing Well! - *****Pics Added****

    As many of you read on two other threads, I rigged up a bator and placed two eggs. The first hatched on Saturday and didn't make it. However the one that pipped under mom before she left the nest hatched last night and as if thismorning Hope is alive and well. She is holding her head up but...

    Egg Under Hen Externally Pipped - Should I Add Chripping Egg?

    So, I checked on my hen and hatchlings just now and one of the eggs under mamma externally pipped. Would it make sense to put my chripping-but-not-yet-eternally-pipped egg under her?

    OMG My Salvaged Egg is Chirping - UPDATE - It didn't make it

    My broody hen abadoned several of her eggs after the first 6 hatchlings last Friday/Saturday. I came home a few days ago, Tuesday I think, to find that she rolled 7 eggs (of the remaining 12) right out of the next. Well, I don't have an incubator so I stuck them under a heat lamp with a...

    Hatchlings, Abandoned Eggs and a Pip!

    I have a broody hen that hatched 6 chicks last Friday/Saturday (my first hatch ever). She's been off and on the remaining eggs repeatedly. Yesterday I came home to find 7 eggs strewn about her kennel, one completely destroyed with a fully grown chick dead inside the membrane. Well, I...

    Broody Hen on Wrong Eggs

    I have a hen that went broody for the first time last week. She was sitting on the cluch up until this morning. I noticed she was out and about, a lot longer than the normal eat, drink, poop routine. When she went back into the coop, she started stilling on eggs I was going to pull today...

    My First Loss

    I heard my roo crowing this morning, but found him wandering the yard, along with a few other chickens, while the pen door was still closed. To my horror I found feathers all over my yard! No bodies, just feathers! I lost two BOs, one of which was my favorite. She would stick by me while i...

    Red Chantecler? Roo or Hen?

    Sadie is about 9 weeks old and was sold to me as a Red Chantecler pullet. Her color doens't match any info I can find on the breed and while small, I think she is a he. Anyone care to chime in on this? Called the shop where I got her and they couldn't offer any help. Thanks! MJ

    Ameraucana / EE is she a he?

    First time chicken mama and loving it! However I have a 9 week old Ameraucana, I think EE is the more appropriate "breed", that I think may be a roo. It's much more erect, it's pea comb is very pink and pronounced, little to no saddle feathers and the tail is not as full as my other...
