    Rooster picking on hen

    A few weeks ago our yearish old olive egger rooster, who has been a DREAM guy up until now, has started being very aggressive with our ameraucana hen. She goes broody every year, however this year isn’t sitting on eggs, just running around puffed up and clucking like a nut. I’m guessing he sees...

    These are cockerels, right?

    Both 8 weeks old, olive eggers back crossed to BCM or Welsummers. I’ve been convinced for a while they are cockerels, but the lighter colored one (last three pics) with feathered legs has me foolishly second guessing myself.

    How many days is a hen open to new chicks

    Hello, I have two sets of chicks a week apart in age. I’m wondering what the time frame is to add a few more to a broody hen that I gave the older set of chicks to, if at all possible?

    Are these eggs dead?

    Thinking I already know the answer, but need confirmation that is what I’m looking at here. Thanks

    Is 2hrs too long

    I purchased and put hatching eggs under one of my broody gals yesterday that are due to hatch around 8/2. I also got some day old chicks for another broody. Both gals took on what I gave them and were doing their thing, in separate coops I left the house for 2 hours and when I checked on mama...

    Question about giving broody eggs and chicks

    I did a thing today and got 5 two day old chicks and 6 hatching eggs from a local farm. I have two broodys currently and the person I got them from suggested giving both girls eggs and chicks, saying that the broodys should stay on the eggs to hatch. But I’m worried they will abandon the eggs...

    Is this ocular Marek’s

    ..or just some Halloween paranoia? She’s acting totally fine, but her left eye caught my attention, as it looks more dilated than her right side and seems to have a grayish ring around pupil. Cream legbar, about 1.5yrs First two pics are her left side, the eye in question Last pic is right...

    4.5 month blue Ameraucana, Sacramento

    Hi everyone! I’m looking to find a home for this sweet, docile, handsome boy. Great with us, kids and the dogs. He’s still a bit dorky and trips over his feet or off of the side of the deck while trying to impress the ladies.. He enjoys beard scratches, foot/leg rubs and is easily picked up and...

    8 week EE Green Queen or Green King?

    She was supposed to be a sexed pullet from Meyer, but I’ve had my suspicions about “her” for a little while now. I’ve found a few threads on here that have given me hopes that this is just an early developing pullet?:fl

    8.5 weeks - am I a pullet?

    I’m still having trouble deciding on this chick being a pullet or cockerel? I know Ameraucanas can be hard to sex before 12 weeks when saddles com in, but I’m hoping a keen eye will be able to confirm what I have here. I have another cockerel same age (EE) and will need to decide who stays or...

    Broody Austra White

    Find it odd that a hybrid of such is as broody as this gal has been recently. I am thinking about putting one of my 3 day old chicks under her, she has been sitting for about 14-15 days now on rocks I am unsure of this hens age or if she has been broody before, often, hatched chicks, etc., as I...

    Is this Gemma or Jimmy?

    I go back and forth, cockerel or pullet? 4.5 weeks, maybe still too young? But thinking I see male coloring in the hackles, totally open to being wrong here!

    Cockerel?

    Still hoping I am wrong but today Nina’s 3.5 week old EE comb is looking awfully pink to me I think I see reddish feathers coming in on the neck/shoulders too, but not sure if this the same male feather trait I’ve seen mentioned in other threads?

    Is this male feather pattern?

    These two EE babes are 3 weeks old, I understand that they are too young to sex by comb or wattles They are a Wheaten Marans mix and I am wondering if they are starting to sprout the male color pattern that I see mentioned here often?

    Potato leaf poisoning?

    Hi everyone, looking for a little advice on what to do with my sick pullet. I found the top off on a planter bed of potatoes and nibble evidence on Tuesday morning. I noticed yesterday her behavior was off, she was standing away from the flock, pulling her head in toward her body and just not...
