    I finally got an egg!

    Hey all! I finally got an egg a day for the last 4 days... but it seems it’s only one of my hens? I have 11 hens and was just wondering how I could maybe get my other hens to start laying? I want to add that they are about 6 months old. My other problem is they’re not laying in the nesting box...

    Dominance problem?

    Hey all, so my hens have not started laying yet and I chocked it up to stress from too many roosters and killed off two roosters (humanely). Well Ive noticed lately that my silkie rooster, who is also most defensive with predators, will literally get on top of the hens and pretty much peck at...

    Fox and the hens

    Well it finally happened. My S.O. And I left for vacation for four days while my grandmother stayed home and watched the chickens and the dogs, a fox got three of our chickens... two younger EE and one of my favorite roosters (could’ve been a hen). He attacked the two in the backyard and one in...

    Roost and nesting box questions

    Hello, I’ve added low to the ground pvc piping which I’m sure may be to small. I plan I’m raising it 10 inches in hopes they start roosting. I also have a ladder that none of them use to perch either. I’m not sure what’s up? I’ve attached some pictures of the set up. Still trying to work out...

    What’s the gender

    I have pictures of the chicks. The brown one with crazy feathers (peach) I’m thinking is a cockerel, and the silver with crazy feathers (Blanca) I’m think is a cockerel. The bantam I’m think is a pullet? The picture with the two chicks together I’m thinking both pullets because of behavior and...

    Gender

    This is definitely a cockerel, yes? I’m just getting the feel to tell the difference. I’m confused on the tops, I read that a lot of them have more than one row, it’s pink and they pink up earlier. He is single row but pink with the development under the chin. He’s sort of mean and I think I...

    6 week old EE

    I just have to be sure because she/he is growing on me. Right now she’s separate from the flock because she was getting pecked pretty badly. Is she a pullet or cockerel?

    Largest chick

    Good morning all, it seems that my chicks are all pecking the largest chick and drew blood. This is my first time dealing with a lot of these things. As you can see they drew blood. What do I do? Am I supposed to separate the chick?

    Help!!! I was attending to the chickens this morning and noticed this! It was only on one of them, pumpkin, and none of the other chicks. I’m not sure if these are good pictures, what is it and what do I do?

    These chicks are getting big!

    Hi all, just wanted to spam everyone with chick pictures. Was also hoping to get insight on some early hints of sex? From what I know they’re about 4-6 weeks now BUT they seem smaller? We have had an accident where a non-secured board fell on one BUT they recovered and seems just a little shy...

    Chick behavior

    Hi all! I’m rather new to the baby chick scene and I have a few questions! It seems that the chicks are play fighting? I was wondering if this is actually what they’re doing and if chicks do this or if they’re deciding the pecking order (lol). I searched the forum but didn’t find anything exact...
