Hoping this is the right forum, but I have a Buff Orpington hen, she’s about 3 years old, and she had her first batch of babies ever back in April. She disappeared last night and I found her on another nest. At least a few of the eggs in question are fertile, I cracked one open and it had that...
If you’ve seen my latest post, you’d know about my Orpington x Polish crosses that just hatched. Does anyone know around how many eggs this cross would produce a year? If not this specific cross, if anyone has experience with any other Orpington cross, it would be greatly appreciated if you told...
My buff Orpington hen went broody and I was excited to see that her eggs were fertile this time, and I have been candling the eggs every two days. I believe a majority of them are on day 15 or 16. However, when I candled them this morning, I noticed that a couple of them almost seem to be behind...
Hey y’all! It’s been awhile!
I have returned with yet another question! All our chickens should come into lay in the next few months, but one of our Barred Rocks in particular is looking VERY red, and I read that one of the signs they are getting ready to lay their first egg, is that their combs...
Been trying to integrate new chickens in with our older ones, as our older ones are not much older. Been taking them out every day (with supervision) to get used to each other and there has been some bullying, but nothing of concern has been happening. I went to check on them and I noticed that...
I picked up 4 Ameraucana Pullets from Lumber 2 this morning, and they are just the most beautiful little chicks. I was just wondering if any of them are different color varieties or not. I’ve numbered them on the 2 pictures to make it easier to answer (if you have one!) Thanks a bunch!
Haven't been able to find these guys at TSC yet, and I would really like some. I need 2 more chickens to complete my flock. Pullets only please, no cockerels or straight runs. If you have any, please message me or reply to this thread with breed, age, location, and price. Thank you for your...
It is official. Our one and only rooster is my absolute favorite chicken. Pixel is the sweetest little guy. While the other chickens will let me pet them (sometimes), and don’t like to be held all that much, this little fluff ball of a rooster (he is the smallest btw, and he will stay that way...
This is like the 3rd thread I’ve posted in a week but here we go 😂
I purchased 3 (supposedly) Barred Rock pullets from TSC, and 2 straight run Buff Orpingtons. I was just wondering if anybody could look at their combs and help me out with sexing them? I realize it might be too early to tell...
Hey y’all! Soooo, I went to TSC, and found his little gal. We had to have her, but we don’t know 100% what kind of chick she is. Can anyone lend an opinion? 😂
Hey there! Newbie here! I have a question about one of my 3 week old chicks! I bought him/her from an assorted Bantam bin at TSC, and I just love him/her! Definitely a Cochin Bantam, but I am 90% sure it’s a roo, due to how red it’s comb is already! What do you guys think?
(I posted a question about my Cochin Bantam in the "What breed/gender" thread, if anyone wants to look at the pictures and tell me what you think!)
Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens
I am new to chickens! I have wanted them for the longest time, and I was finally able to...
