My Rhode Island Red is broody and we are wanting her to hatch out some eggs. She is the top hen so we aren’t worried about anybody bullying her or pulling her out of her box that she is in. There are plenty other boxes for the other girls to lay. Is it ok to keep her in there? I would rather not...
Hi everybody,
My silver laced Wyandotte is missing feathers on her back. We’ve tried a chicken saddle off of Amazon but she kept pulling the back of it up towards her and freaked out with it on for about 3 days so we ended up taking it off. Is there any chicken saddle you guys can recommend...
My sapphire gem is 18-19 weeks old. She laid 2 eggs so far. But her last one was laid July 20th. Ever since then, she has been laying in the nesting box every day but doesn’t lay. She pants in there and seems to stay in there for an hour or more. She had one soft shelled egg come out about 4...
Hi one of my hens is acting very weird. I need help! She is a sapphire gem pullet. 4 1/2 months old. I just got home and she was very slow moving and fluffed out. We saw part of an egg hanging out and I went to pick her up and it fell out. It was a soft shelled egg. Even though it’s out she...
Pearl laid her first egg! 4 1/2 months old. I always thought that California whites lay white eggs? She definitely laid this one. Light brown with a bunch of white speckles.
Today I saw my rooster mate with my sapphire gem. She came over to him and squatted. Didn’t put up a fight. She is only 4 months old. Everything I read says sapphire gems only start laying between 5-7 months. If she is willingly mating does that mean she is going to lay soon? Or is it still...
I believe this is a Dominique. Could be wrong since I bought one barred rock and one Dominique and really can’t tell the difference. She is supposed to be a pullet. Does anybody see any signs of her being a cockerel? She is 11 weeks old.
Hey guys! Anybody have a barnevelder rooster that looked like mine? He is 11 weeks old now. I’m so curious to see what he’s going to look like and there aren’t many barnevelder rooster pictures online that look close to how he looks. Here’s some pictures taken within the last couple weeks or so...
I have this barnevelder chick. Around 3 weeks old. Does anybody have any idea if it looks male or female? Is it too early to tell? It’s wings seemed to take longer to grow than my other chick breeds. And it’s legs are thicker. Don’t have another barnevelder to compare it to though so I really...
