    Easter Eggers: 13 Weeks, are they hens or roosters?

    I’m new to keeping Easter Eggers, I hatched them 10 February, they are around 13 weeks old. I think I have guessed the sex of 1, but I’m struggling with these. Please help me identify if they’re boys or girls?

    My Boy Pedro

    I am a huge lover of back yard bred chickens, especially crosses. My latest is a rooster that I rescued as a week old chick while house sitting for my cousin. He was being pecked on by his siblings. I took him home (Hoping he would be a she) amd hand raised him. Yes, he has spent the last 7...

    My Girls

    I live in Cape Town, South Africa. I live in a residential area, and am allowed 5 hens max. Well, when we started last year October, we started with 4 “hens”. One turned out to be a boy, so I returned him and exchanged for another red hen. Then, my cousin went to a farm for a week holiday, and...

    Young Rooster is suddenly very aggressive

    I hatched a rooster in March this year, he has been the sweetest boy - up until just now. He attacked the Matriarch hen to the point of stomping on her face and biting her comb. My question is this... Why would he suddenly do that? She has allowed him to mate her a few times, not willingly...

    Are these Australorps or Black Orpingtons?

    I have these two hens that were given to me as Black Australorps- they just seem to “fluffy” to me. I feel like they are actually Black Orpingtons. Anyone have an idea?

(I got mixed eggs from a friend of mine, and these were some of the eggs he gave me). I struggled for a while because of the coloring and features (thinking they may be the other...

    Our very own hatchlings

    In February this year our Buff Orpington cross went broody, we didn’t have a rooster, so got some fertile eggs. There are two thorough bred babies in the mix, Potch Koekoeks, the rest are all Koekoek cross Lohman Brown or Americauna cross Lohman Brown. This is what they look like at 15 weeks old...

    What could this boys lineage be?

    So I am wondering what this boy could be a cross of? He is 13 weeks old and is already as tall as his ‘mom’ (she is the Black Australorp x Buff Orpington Hen). I got these eggs from a gentlemen who was working on a cross between Potch Koekoek (South African version of a Barred Plymouth Rock)...

    Looks like the skin has pulled away from the flesh

    Hi, a friend of mine has an Australorp hen, she is moulting and seems to have an injury where the leg attaches to the body. I haven’t seen the chicken myself, but will be going out there later to look. The skin, from what I can see on the photo, seems to have pulled away from the flesh. The...
