    Free WTB Roosters! Denver Area

    I have three, possibly four, four month old Whiting True Blue roosters that need to move on! They are free, they have outgrown the space I can offer them here. There are some really gorgeous ones, if you are looking for a flock leader. Blue egg laying genes!

    To Introduce Cockerels or Not?

    Greetings! Well, my hatching egg journey this year has taken a bit of a turn, and I'm decently certain I have ended up with just two girls, and five boys :(. They are about six and a half weeks old now, and growing well. My question is on flock integration. I currently have 5 adult hens, I plan...

    5 Laying Hens, Denver CO

    It is sadly time for me to end my chicken journey. I very much wanted to have free range chickens, but as it turns out our predator situation just isn't one I can manage. We had 11 hens, but just lost 6, so I am looking to sell my remaining five and close up shop (this is now the third major...

    Flock Drama

    So, about 10 days ago we had a devastating fox attack on our free range flock. I had two different age groups out, the three adults (the rooster and his two hens) and four 'teenagers' that we were starting the integration process with. Sadly we lost two of the teenagers, one hen, and the...

    Easter Egger Rooster CO

    I have a red and black approx. 8 week old Easter Egger Rooster in need of a new home. He is a gorgeous burgundy red color with black accents. He has a very fluffy muff/beard going on, so if you are looking to breed that he's your guy! Crossed with brown egg layers he should give you olive eggers...

    Unabsorbed Yolk

    I have a chick who is sitting in a cup in the incubator, working on trying to finish absorbing its yolk. My question is, when do I need to be concerned about trying to make sure it starts eating and drinking?

    Chick hatched without fully closed navel

    I just had a chick hatch whose navel hasn't fully closed....it has about a dime size amount of red intestinal type things showing. Is there anything I can do for it? Or is this sort of just going to be a slow death :/

    Mystery 12 Week Olds

    Hi there! I went with my friends to pick up some 12 week old chicks, and we were curious about what breeds you all thought they might be. Firstly, dont don't quite look 12 weeks to me...what do you guys think? As far as breeds, my guesses are Blue Sex Link, Red Sex Link, and Chantecler or...

    Hatching Marans Eggs

    So, I know BCM eggs are a pain to candle, but I was reading somewhere a few things that I wanted to check in with you all about. I read that they need a lower humidity due to the dark pigment coating being less permeable, and that they often take more than 21 days to hatch (more like 22). Has...

    How can I earn my chicks trust?

    I have two 5 week old chicks that are terrified of me, I tried to socialize them but clearly was not successful. Any good thoughts on earning their trust? Super tasty treat reccomemdations maybe? I don't expect them to be friendly...but I'd like if they would take treats from me!

    Pullet or Cockrel?

    "Americana" chicks from the local feed store, approx. 5 weeks old. They were sold as sexed females, but we all know how that goes! The one with the green leg band, yellow legs and red on the breast and shoulders/back I suspect might be a cockerel....the other black/barred with dark legs appears...

    Everybodies Favorite Game!

    Pullet or Cockrel? I got these two from the local feed store as 'sexed' EE pullets. I think the joke is on me here. Just today I saw that Green (I call them by their band colors) comb was distinctly darker in color than Blue. Like literally over night. These guys are my first EEs though, so...

    Success with Saddle Shaped Air Cells?

    Just looking to see if anyone here has been able to have much success with saddle shaped air cells. I've been following the Sally Sunshine method, and I just checked one egg quickly today (day 2) while turning and I can see the saddle shape developing. The air cells were jiggly, not entirely...

    Breed Guesses?

    Meet Ginger. This lovely lady came from a Bielefelder hatching egg. But um. Does not look like a Bielefelder. Any guesses what she might be mixed with? Or do you think its just a weird mutation? I know the breed isn't all that old, so maybe one of the foundation birds traits are coming through...

    Bielefelder....not?

    Hello All! So, I got hatching eggs from Omega Hills Farms last year, and I was able to hatch out 4 hens and two roosters. My intention is to start a small breeding flock...but one of my hens turned out...odd colored. Now, I know not to breed her obviously, but I am now worried about how closely...

    Odd Poops?

    I got two chicks from the local feed store the other day, and I am a bit concerned about their health (which I know is not surprising). How do these look to you guys? I have them on Medicated feed (ManaPro) with some dried oregano and cinnamon sprinkled in, as well as some electrolytes in...

    Poor Fertility

    I was very much hoping to hatch out my own eggs this spring, but things are not going according to plan! I have one rooster and two hens, but am having really poor results so far. When I crack them open fresh they all appear to be fertilized, but of 12 I set in the incubator only 2 started to...
