    Genders on these two Easter Eggers

    These two are twelve weeks old and I'm really hoping they're pullets.

    COuld it be? A pullet egg!?!?!

    I have three pullets right now; an Orpington, a Delaware, and a Barred Rock. They are 18 - 19 weeks old this week , I'm not positive because I bought them at a few months old. The Delaware and BO have very red combs, and the Delly has red wattles but is def. a girl. My two grown hens are bantams...

    WTB Ameraucana or Easter Egger South Jersey

    Hey everyone! I have one very small, very spoiled backyard flock. I'm looking to add one more member and have always desperately wanted a green or blue egg layer. I'd like a started pullet, POL, or young hen. To be even more picky, I'd dearly love a bantam. I'm willing to be more than generous...

    Peacock with wild turkeys

    I've wondered this since we moved here, and discovering this forum, I decided to ask. Has anyone ever heard of peacocks running off with another flock of birds? The peacock at the bottom of my BYC page has been around for about a year. Sometimes he comes alone, but more often than not he is...

    Laying under stress

    At some point I recall reading on this forum that chickens don't usually lay under stress. This made sense to me, since egg laying is biologically linked to having babies. Well, I got my new baby in the mail today. She is a beautiful little Mille Fleur Cochin , and even though I was worried she...

    Pullet wiping off face

    My little Buff Orp pullet, Lizzy, has developed a strange habit. She is the friendliest of the bunch and the first to run over for treat time in the evenings. What she'll usually do is grab the fruit (mostly grapes) and get chased around the run by the other 11 week olds. After she slurps it...

    Broody Silkie mothering

    I brought home all my chickens last night. Two are adults; a Partridge Silkie and a White Polish, three are 8 week olds. I was a little nervous mixing them but was told by the breeder it would probably go well and doing it at night, in a new coop, seemed to be the way to do it. I was also warned...
