I have a couple 11/12 week old olive/Easter eggers that I am believe are rooster but would love a second opinion before I go giving them away free. So what do you think rooster or hen for these guys?
So I have a 11 week old olive/Easter egger that I hatched and for the life of me I can't decide if it's a rooster or hen. The comb makes me say rooster because no one else I kept from that hatch has that red of a comb but the tail feathers and other feathers make me think hen? Thoughts?
Hello everyone,
So I have done quite a few hatches now and I feel like everytime I do a hatch I get at least one or two eggs that progress all the way to the hatch stage but then don't pip or anything so I open the egg and I find a fully formed chick (not moving and clearly dead). Now I have a...
I am just curious if this looks like a hold laced Wyandotte chicks. Looking to purchase some and these ones are said to be about two weeks. Thoughts?
Thanks!
Looking for standard gold laced Wyandottes that are either in Southern Ontario or can be shipped to Southern Ontario having a hard time finding some! Anyone have any recommendations on hatcheries or breeders!?
Okay so I was sold these two Brahma "pullets" but when I got them they had no tail feathers. Well I just started paying attention recently and noticed they look like roos. These are also the first Brahma chickens I have owned so I'm on the fence. Anyways I'm rehoming them if they are roos but...
I have a 7-8 week old that I'm on the fence about. The feathers seem about the same as my other ones this age but the comb is a lot more red than the others. It's a BYM I believe it was sex link and RIR that I was told the possibility was. What does everyone think? I'm leaning towards roo but...
I have a question about ocular Marek's. I have a hen who I noticed is acting a bit lethargic and not reacting to hand motion near her eyes etc. it also seems to be cloudier than my other chickens eyes. Everywhere I read says that the eye will change colours and pupil will change shape. I don't...
I have a chicken that has what looks like bumble foot except for two reasons that make me unsure that it is. The first the swelling is on the top of the foot not the bottom and second there doesn't seem to be any injured area or puncture area that I can see. The chicken doesn't seem bothered by...
Hi everyone so I let my flock free range pretty much every day and they go to their coops at night. Now my question is do they need access to food in their coop 24/7? Up until now I give them food at night but they act starving when I do it and around the time I feed them they start to follow me...
So I free range my chickens and they have been doing this for about half a year now. They go in the coop at night and stay out most of the day. Today I came home and after 5 hours of being gone one of them was killed by some sort of predator. Now all that was left was some feathers and a small...
Hi there I got this barred rock approximately 8-9 week old for free from someone and I'm stumped on whether it's a roo or hen. It's comb is bigger than the others it came with (other than a select few which I suspect are roosters) and it has very vibrant legs and colours around its neck. I have...
