    Advice for the abundance of my cockerels

    Hi y'all. So this year I got 19 chicks (hatched 5, bought 10 straight run, and purchased 4 pullets). Of of those chicks, aside from the purchased pullets, I got 2 pullets. Two. So, needless to say I have a lot of cockerels. I had 3 mature hens and then we moved onto a property that came with...

    Sneak up rooster?

    I thought this was a pullet for months. Even named her Josephine. Now I'm not so sure. I saw "her" crow yesterday and face off with a rooster today. Now I'm noticing more male feathers. "She" is a easter egger / black copper maran mix.

    Vote - to cull or not to cull

    I have a 4 month old white face Spanish/black copper maran cockerel who has started going after our children and adult land partners. I hatched him, so he hasn't ever come after me. He stalks them, does his wing dance and then tries to peck them. His spurs are still small and dull. He is good...

    Ten 7 week old chicks

    Hi y'all. I was hoping to get more minds on the sex of these 7-week-old Favorelle mixes. The father is a pure blooded Blue Salmon Favorelle and the mothers are either Pearl Leghorns, Wyandotte's, Buff Orphintons, or Cinnamon Queens. I think there are at least 5 cockels, but I am not sure...

    Pullet with cross beak

    Hi y'all. I have some 6 week old chicks and one has a pretty severe sissor beak. We have affectionately named her Quazimota. She is at least half the size of the rest of the chicks and always hungry. She can't catch bugs and has a hard time foraging. She seems to always be eating, but I don't...

    Inherited 34 chickens im property purchase - one death so far.

    Hi y'all. We bought a property that came with 34 chickens, all but 5 or 6 are laying hens. The coops are stinky and dirty. The laying boxes have been closed off and need to be cleaned.

    Did I kill my eggs?

    Hi y'all. I am unsure if I killed my eggs trying to save the ones that hatched. This is my first time incubating eggs. I Bought the Natures Right 360, but got ripped off and it never came. I had to buy a still air tractor supply incubator because my fertile eggs arrived and I had nothing to...

    Half the chicks hatched early, poop on incubator

    Good morning. I have a dozen fertile eggs in an incubator, 5 of then hatched early (4-2 days). Due to some challenges and hungry chicks, I moved them to a brooder. The incubator smells bad due to the older chicks poop. Should I clean out the incubator before the rest of the eggs hatch? I have...
