    What color eggs is she supposed to lay?

    Hi! So recently, my hens I hatched April last year have began to lay, and I've heard about the trick of telling what color eggs a hen lays by the color of her earlobe. This particular hen has white earlobes, but it doesn't make sense, because she can't lay white eggs, can she? Her father was...

    Why Won't My Hen Lay Any Eggs?

    I have a problem. I'm trying to get eggs from certain hens to hatch for a project, and this hen in particular won't lay. The only other chicken that I have that doesn't lay is an almost-8 hen who's never laid. The hen that I'm trying to get to lay is called Clementine, and she's a Russian Orloff...

    Many Eye Colors In Eight-Chicken Flock and their chicks

    I’m surprised about how many eye colors are in my eight-chicken flock and my chicks. Three chickens, including two EEs, and a Barnevelder, four chickens, including my rooster, have that common orange eye color, and the rooster’s sister has chocolate - dark copper eyes, and, one of my crosses at...

    Tinamou X Domesticated Chicken = Possible?

    Is breeding a domesticated chicken and a Chilean Tinamou possible? Also, if the mix is possible, will the offspring still produce purple eggs if the chicken has a certain color egg? Also, can Tinamous live in a flock of free-ranged chickens with no fence, and are they more vulnerable to...

    Rooster?

    I have a young Blue Copper Maran, several weeks old. I thought she was a girl, but then I saw some black on her tail. Her tail is also sort of long-ish. Is she instead a roo?

    Goose

    I have one recommendation! Get a girl goose for your flock. But raise her from a gosling with other chicks. They get along, and the goose is like bodyguard for your hens, and she does her job well! But put a goose of the same age as the chicks with the chicks, for the safety of the goose! Don’t...

    Mean Hen

    Help my hen is really mean to other hens in my coop (but nice to humans). What should I do with her? Can I make her nice? (I’ve tried keeping her away from the flock for ten days and did not work).

    The Egg Stage

    How do I tell if my eggs are fertile without breaking them? Or is it just impossible to tell? Am I able to candle them before I put them inside the incubator?

    Polish Hen With Rooster

    Okay, so anyone had luck with a big rooster breeding with a small hen such as a polish or bantam? I am looking for an opportunity to have a half-polish cross.

    First time in a society like this

    We have had chickens for six years. We have mostly different breeds, and have had roosters since our second chicken generation. Our former rooster is a cross of a blue-laced red Wyandotte hen and an Australorp rooster. He is very nice and doesn’t give trouble, and he is red and black. He is...
