Hello chicken friends. This is Dottie. She started off with sneezing a few days back. Her sister Viola has some wheezing. Both are in a quarantine pen and regular coop has been completely sanitized and bedding replaced.
She is not lethargic, no discharge, eating a touch less than normal but...
This handsome boy showed up a few days ago in the woods behind our fenced chicken yard. We finally caught him today.
His feet are a MESS! And I suspect other injuries. He is TERRIFIED of the sound of a car. We cannot keep him as we have a happy, healthy, one rooster flock.
We have him in a...
Hello!
Our chicken math got messed up when we traded 2 hens for 3 fertilized eggs that turned out to be roos. So.. trying to locate 2 pullets. Right now we have 4 hens and 1 roo. We know our big boy will need a few more ladies!
Any ideas on where to find them. Craig's list was not helpful this...
Just under 14 weeks old. Really stuck. What do you think? At 10 weeks, consensus was that it was a roo.. at 12 weeks .. hen.. so trying now at 14 weeks. Have a good home lined up if it's a roo as we dont want two. If a hen , precious will stay.
So please help! Love you chicken peeps!
This spring we let our VERY broody hen lay on 3 potentially fertilized eggs. SURPRISE! All three hatched! And ... all three are roosters. :( So .. keeping one and rehoming 2. This is our first rooster to offer. He is beautiful with rust feathers and iridescent blues and purples throughout his...
Hatched 3 three out 7 was ago.was hoping for at least 2 hens but suspect they are all beautiful boys! Unfortunately, can only keep one. What do you think? Little roos?
We lost our lovely buff plymouth rock to a hawk last year. So after alot of research, discussion, and prayer, we decided to adopt Rusty, our French Copper Maran rooster!
Rusty started crowing a few weeks ago and doesnt crow until we open up the coop around 7:30 a.m.! Of course then he makes up...
My husband let our chickens out this morning so they could free range. 45 minutes later I walked our dog out and discovered this. Our yard is fully fenced so thinking its a hawk versus owl because it was day/morning.
Buff was one of our favorites. She was a buff plymouth rock and was slow to...
Her feathers are forming different than our other wyandotte.. maybe she is just developing faster.. she doesn't ACT like a roo at all, but she has me wondering.. she is 12 weeks old. Or he is..
Lacey.. what is a good Male name changeover in case? Lol..
Hello!
My husband Mike and I really enjoy reading the posts here so decided to introduce ourselves. We are proud parents of a feathery flock of girls (we hope). At 6 weeks old, they just moved into their coop and completely enclosed run. Didnt take long for them to call it home! They delight us...
