    Are these giant brahmas roos or hens?

    I have two brahma I bought. I assumed they were hens, but now they are larger than my australorp roos. The alpha roo never chases them off like my beta roo. Never see them mount the hens either. Their legs are just as fat as the roos now. are they giant hens or late blooming roos?

    This hen is starting to show some roo traits

    This chicken has always resembled the hens more, but now I see tail feathers starting to curve and the sharp needle like feathers behind the wings. It is a barnyard mix, so maybe it got some different genetics from the others. It is 4 months old.

    Ducks put themselves to bed?

    I get up at 4 am, so I usually put the quack pack to bed before it gets dark. Today I went out after dark and all the ducks were already in their coop. I was always told this was never going to happen with ducks and was going to let them sleep where they want once my guard geese grow up and I'm...

    Chick with growth on breast.

    One of my 8-10 week old chickens is about half the size of her hatchmates. I noticed that there is a very large growth on her breast. It seems to be loose and hard under the skin. She doesn't yet show any sign of pain. She is very sweet, so I'd like to save her if possible, but an expensive...

    Rooster of unknown origin breeding with black australorps

    I got this rooster from craigslist to watch over my flock of laying hens. With the way the world is going I wanted to try hatching some chicks. I have 3 questions. 1: I think the rooster is a mix. does anyone have an idea of what he is? 2: It looks like the only chicks that hatched were...

    Neighbor's dog attacking chickens.

    My neighbor keeps about 10+ hunting hounds in kennels. Yesterday I got home to find a dead chicken next to my coup. I checked my cameras and found that the neighbor's dog escaped and killed it. I let him know, but today it escaped again. They all survived, but were much much more agitated and...

    Most chickens wont start laying eggs.

    I have 10 chickens. 2 amberlinks, 2 Gold laced wyandottes, and 6 australorps. My 2 amberlinks have been laying for almost 2 weeks, and now each have been giving me a new egg every day for 5 days straight in the same nesting box. All of my other chickens have yet to lay a single egg. Most of the...

    12-13 week old chicken breed/gender help

    So in the store I was sold 6 barred rocks, but I'm pretty sure these are actually australorps. Can anyone confirm? I was told my chicks only had a 90% chance to be female, so I've been watching for a rooster or two in my flock, but I think I may have lucked out. White are amber links Brown are...

    Too many chickens on the top roost

    I have my first 10 chickens and they are about 12 weeks old. I made 4 roosts in a ladder pattern with figuring they would determine a pecking order and choose their roost accordingly. Well, It seems like there really isn't any pecking order and they all get along very well. Last night they were...
