    I have four 7 week old chick's born from Americana roo and two black ee hens. I feather sexed them at a day old and thee days old. 3 were black and sexed as females with the two lengths of tips.

    Back-to-back broodiness

    We just re-homed 7 roosters that hatched this spring. One of my girls had only boys hatch so all her 12 week olds have left. She started laying a few weeks ago prior to their departure but in the last day or so is trying to set on any eggs being laid. I have told her she can't have any more...

    Family dynamics - last 3 cousins

    We have had 3 sets of hatches this Spring - hatched 2 and bought 3 (ameracauna day olds). The 1st and 3rd set of chicks share a common grandma and dads are brothers we rehomed last year. This batch has one black feathered roo and these two red babies. They are 12 weeks old now. Any ideas on sex?

    3 Ameracauna/EE's - 13 weeks - questionable roos?

    I'm positive the one in the back is a female. The pretty one in front. The second one in question is in the rear this time. The same sister in front.

    First loss in a long time.

    Found our RIR - Jo Jo this morning. She must have passed last night soon after she went in. Almost like she fell off the perch. No trama, no discharge. She was a Spring Pullet last year. We have lost two others to predators, but not one like this. Our last flock introduction was in August and...

    Suprise blue/green egg today...

    Still trying to figure out who left the beauty. I'm thinking it is my ee who has been brooding a chick for the last 10 weeks. She's been squatty for the last week or so and reddened up x month. She is a year old, but we got her in June as a pullet. We also have 3 banty's (18 - 22 weeks) that may...

    Pushing eggs out of nest.

    I have a flock of 12 girls. Most of them are younings (under 20 weeks). I have 2 RIR and 1 Barred Rock that are layers. In the last week, 3 of the Barred Rocks eggs have been pushed out of the nest? Any ideas. We've had no problems like this before.

    When is a good time to pass on cockerels?

    We inherited a banty mama and her 7 beautiful babies today. Picking them up, I'm sure that two of them are boys. There may be more, but I don't see it yet. When is a good age to rehome them?

    Oh, oh.... came home and a couple girls are missing.

    We had them in the garden while picking up some straw after dinner. Came home and they were gone. One is a 10 month old barred rock pullet, the other two 3 month old banty's. We looked for almost an hour with no sign... Anyone have ideas on what I should do?

    Bantys - picking up some hens and mama with 5 youngins (3 months)

    Nothing fancy (no polish or silkies). We met them this afternoon and they are healthy little cuties. We have two banty EE's, how many kinds are there? The babies all look different from each other. The farm said they were just bantys, no particular breed. Is this like cats and dogs -...

    HELP ME 9 month olds? I don't think so now.

    Picked these birds up to help replace our small flock (racoon) holes. Three days, no laying... Are they old birds? Is there a chance that they aren't female? What exactly is the red one with a muff top? RIR cross? We may have to rehome them.

    Updated Pics Welsummer? 28 Days .. Do you think it is a she?

    Does my pip look like a bantam japanese rose-comb cross? This is what the young fellow Fur and Feather club who sold her/him to me said. Very lively little one. Being raised by my EE right now. TIA this is our first (other silkie/cochlin cross died) chick being raised from day-old

    Yellow comb?

    Hoping this means it'll be a pullet. My 3 week old chipmunk looking chick is turning very pretty. I noticed this week she's got a tiny comb coming. I was told by the breeder that is was a bantam japanese cross rose comb, whatever that means. So having a yellow comb over red, is it more probable...

    Racoon Scat

    Went out this morning and found a huge pile of Racoon Scat 1/2 in 1/2 out of my coop. Can't figure that out. Lots of feathers too. Nothing got in, but i believe that a racoon must have been terrorizing last night. I checked over my girls this morning. No signs of wear or tear. We worked all...
