    Tell me it ain’t so!!

    I purchased 15 chicks from Atwood’s. 3 of each breed all supposed to be pullets. So I should have had included in the 15, 3 black australorps and 3 black copper marans. I ended up with 4 black australorpe and I’m assuming 2 blue copper marans. So that was only slightly disappointing. But...

    My hope is that I’m right!

    I hatched these chicks with an incubator. They are 5 weeks old on 10/6/23. I think (hope) I have a couple pullets. I’m pretty sure I have a couple cockerels. I have included 2 pics of each. Tried to get them as clear as I could…..silly chicks just wouldn’t pose for me!

    Best way to catch an aggressive rooster?

    I have a Polish rooster that just started attacking me yesterday. It was only once but today I had to keep him in front of me….he kept trying to sneak up from behind. I need to catch him because he has to go. I’m sad because I just love him and his crazy “hair” aka feathers, but I won’t keep...

    One hen her comb getting pecked but I’m not sure who’s doing the pecking.

    Let me lay some background: I have a flock of 10. 3 are all my older hens (around 2 years old) 1 stays broody all the time but she’s the smallest one I have and she’s a Brahma. The other 2 are an Americana and an ISO brown. The new ones are 4 golden lacewings, 2 Delaware, and 1 leghorn. All...

    Red roost mites?

    So….it looks like I’m dealing with poultry mites! I was initially thinking we had chiggers because I was getting bites in the usual places consistent with chiggers. But now I think they are poultry mites after doing some research and checking my coops. My chickens look great! I don’t see...

    Do broody hens still lay? And would I need to separate her if I purchase fertile eggs for her?

    I have come to the conclusion, while reading through posts, that I have a broody hen. She’s around a year old (give or take a couple months since she was recently given to me) and has been laying well since before I got her. But now she is on the nest day & night and does the whole flattening...
