We had two deaths yesterday around Noon. Our fully grown Buff Brahma and Cinnamon Queen hens. Over the past year we’ve had a few other deaths. Two of them have definitely been hawks, and two others were less obvious (no one was caught, no one was devoured, one barely punctured and one not dead...
Particularly, a blue splash cochin that is docile and almost 4 months old. Located in SC. What’s the going rate for a cockerel like this? I’m upset I have to get rid of him so I want him to go somewhere he’ll be taken care of. I have several folks interested in him but don’t know what to ask. I...
So, I have a small flock of 6 hens. 5 of them coexist peacefully but one silkie that was bought separately with a polish (that was killed by hawk) is constantly singled out. 😢 It’s been this way for months, as I think her Polish friend was killed in December. She is broody often as silkies are...
Can someone help me identify who is laying this egg? I know it’s one of the chickens pictured (minus the gray silkie) but I don’t know which one. They were bought as 1 Black Star, 1 Red Star, 1 Cinnamon Queen, and 1 Buff Orpington
Help! We have our first backyard flock of 9 hens. Our 3 original chicks were purchased in April of this year. They are a Barred Rock, a Buff Brahma, and a Columbia Rock Cross. They have lived peacefully together all of this time. We purchased 4 more pullets in July, and integrated them together...
Cinnamon Queen “pullet” +\-6 weeks old. Unfortunately we can only have hens where we live, so we keep an eye on gender offenders. We’ve had terrible luck with accidental Roos this year! 🤨 Submit your gender vote!
New chicken owner here. This Columbia Rock Cross cockerel (3 months old) has had a slight limp for at least 2 weeks now. There aren’t any “injuries” visible to the eye but we had 3 other incorrectly sexed cockerels we got rid of this week and I know for sure one of the others picked on him a...
I so badly want this pet to go to a good home. He was bought as a pullet and unfortunately he is not one. We can’t have roosters where we live. He’s very friendly, has been handled a lot (pictured being caught and handled by my 2 year old), has been fed Purina organic starter feed, and has yet...
I so badly want this pet to go to a good home. He was bought as a pullet and unfortunately he is not one. We can’t have roosters where we live. He’s very friendly, has been handled a lot, been fed Purina organic starter feed, and has yet to crow but I’m sure it’s coming soon. Located in central...
Any doubts this is a Barred Rock cockerel? Any chance it’s a pullet? I’m a new chicken owner, and I’m learning a lot. I can’t see the appropriate feathers as well in this type of coloring. Holding out some hope. Ha!
This Easter Egger was bought at a local TSC store on April 7, so it’s allegedly about 2 months old right now. For reference, all of the other chicken’s around it are day old chickens brought home on April 8 (they are Barred Rocks, Columbia Cross, and Buff Brahmas).. all pullets and convincingly...
