Hi I got 5 purebred Cochin bantams cockerels available along with a 3/4 Cochin bantam cockerel as well. These are located in Cleveland, TX. The last photo is the 3/4 one and he is mauve/blueish.
Well I’m trying to figure out what color and sex are these two Cochins. I know they’re calicos but one is lacking the white. The darkest brown one I hope is a pullet but my hopes are being diminished. 😅 Do you guys think they might be future pullets or little cockerels? I know the one with more...
Well my sister and I incubated 23 eggs during the cold snap that hit Texas around Christmas and we had 18 chicks hatch out it. My go to chicken breeder had her incubator open as she wasn’t hatching anything at the moment and hatched them out for us. They’re Cochin bantams chicks. The fathers are...
I have a Bantam Cochin hen who went broody on Dec 30-31. She’s been sitting on 4eggs. We didn’t want much chicks as we already incubated 23 eggs 21days before and hatched out 18 chicks but only one of these eggs belongs to her and the rest to our other bantams. The problem is we don’t know the...
Ok, I have an OE X French Copper Maran egg I hatched in August. It’s turned out to be a pullet but today I’ve noticed that she has a lot of green and purple feathers. Now I’ve read that only roosters can have that iridescent coloring. Can hens have that too? My other breeds have shiny feather...
Hi this chick hatched on August 23rd and I think we might have a pullet but I’m unsure still. Any suggestions as this is my first Maran chick. Excuse the messy baby. She just finished eating it’s mushy food.
Hi all I just added a blue laced barnevelder pullet to my flock and I decided to get one because I’ve read that they are super docile but this one is super skittish and she pecks me(sadly I can’t return or exchange)… does anyone else have skittish ones or did I just get bad luck? I’m looking...
My flock has become infected with fowl pox. All my hens are vaccinated for it so I never thought they could still get it. From the research I’ve done it’s dry pox. So do anyone you know what I can do to comfort them since there is no real cure?
There was a huge amount of mosquitoes that spawned...
Hi all I need help with sexing a Sebastopol geese I have. I don’t know how to vent it safely so is there any way of telling by how it looks?
I’ve attached three photos one with my other geeses with it. I know my Chinese is a gander and I know I have one Pomeranian gander and goose but this one...
A month ago one of my Wyandottes went broody and I knew none of her eggs where fertile because we have our Roos separated at the moment and nothing would get her out of that broody stage so I went and purchased her fertile eggs for her to hatch out. Sadly out of the 8 only one hatched 😕 so proud...
Hi all, I got a batch of Wyandotte’s that are all different colors but there’s one in the batch that I’m not sure whether it’s a cockerel or a pullet. I’ve read that pullets can get big wattles and they go red as well. One of my first Wyandottes did this as well(thought I had a boy) and turned...
Hi, I just got 2 new pullets around a month ago. One EE and one Olive egger. Well the EE sneeze when we where driving home and kept doing it even after 2 weeks but I really didn’t think much of it as I thought it might be the shavings but now the they’re both sneezing and have clear liquid...
Hi, I just got chicks and got me a cinnamon queen but the breeder was unsure whether it’s a pullet or a cockerel due to it growing it’s tail feathers super fast. It didn’t have stripes on its back but now it has developed stripes. I believe it might be a pullet but it’s probably too soon to...
Hi, I recently introduced my older hens to my 3 5 month old Wyandotte pullets and my 2 Ameraucana cockerel and pullet that are 4 months old and one of my older hens has accepted the 3 wyandottes but for some reason has it out for the 2 Ameraucanas. She’s pecking at them to the point where...
Hello guys, I’m new to raising chicks and one of my Ameraucanas has an enlarged crop. The other chick does not and I noticed it enlarged yesterday afternoon and I believed it was because he or she is a bit of a fast eater but today I’ve noticed when I got home that it hasn’t gone down. I did...
Hello all, I’m a newbie in the community of chickens. I’ve had two hens for about a year now but I got them as adults and now I’ve recently added 3 Wyandotte pullets who are 2 months and 2 straight run Splash Ameraucana’s who are almost a month and a half. So it’s a mystery to see if I got two...
