    What is up with my hens?

    My chicken pick on each other often and such but I noticed these two hens had these black faces and I did not notice it earlier in the week. The blackened face appeared quickly. There was a freeze so, I can’t pinpoint exactly what this can be- frost bite, fighting, dirty, blackhead. Two of my...

    I had purchased 5 chickens that were suppose to be hens but ended up being 2- Roos and 3 hens at TS. Anyways, I didn’t get the name of the birds because I just wanted pullets so I could have more eggs. Anyways, I got them from the same bin and when I research and asked on this site what they...

    Mixed breed? australorp chicken or ?

    Hey… I bought some chicks at TS and they were all “suppose” to be pullets. I believe they may have mixed two breeds together. The first two I believe may be cockerels. Though I am unsure because of the characteristics on the one. The other three I believe are pullets but not the same breed as...

    My roo won’t go in his house

    I have three roosters; Sammy (leghorn), Patty (welsummer ), Frizzle (frizzle/silkie). They all grew up together and all live together in one house. They are about 6 mos old. They get along very well for the most part. I hear them get on each other like hens do. Nothing alarming. For the last...

    Trio confusion

    My son has 3 Perkins I believe that weren’t sexed. They are about 8 weeks old. They have their voices but they are extremely confusing to determine their sex because, they grunt, one will belt out a loud quack like noise. They’re noisy with grunts, squeals, and such. So I have a video and pics...
