    New pictures of Hershey aka HE-She, the ROOSTER! and Cocoa roo too?

Still not trying to get with the girls and he is still low on the pecking order. He is our only roo, unless cocoa is also a roo (which I am...

    You guys are killing me! Update on page 4

    Ok, so these two supposed marans chicks. Sold as marans pullets, obviously are a cross. First I was told pullets, then roos, then pullets, then definitely roos because of the red. They are 6 and 5 months old. No crows and no saddle feather. I just resigned myself they were roos, but now in two...

    holland lop peanut? or not?

    Well, I was sure we had a peanut (Ebony had a peanut her first litter). I am starting to think that maybe it is just a runt. It is not that much smaller than the others, and the back end seems to be normal, the eyes are a little bulgy, but not like the other one. Also it is an active little...

    mouse?

    Ok so my 6 month old roo (maybe) just had a mouse, they were all chasing him for it. Then when he finally got away, he swallowed it down WHOLE. Is this ok, and can it choke him, or impact his crop? It looked like a snake eating.

    duramycin and feeding back eggs

    Ok, so I finally decided to put my girls on Duramycin (per the feed store guy). They have had a slight cold off and on for a month. While I was gone we lost 2 pullets. I dont want to loose anymore. All the adults are fine, a couple got a sneeze and then were fine. There are 3 of the 6 month...

    Annie, my gsd mix

    I love this crazy dog. She was a rescue at 3 years old. She is the size of a blue healer, but looks like a german shepherd. She is so smart and funny. The last few months we have been able to leave her out with the chickens while they free range. She seems to think if I come outside, she needs...

    Who is laying the olive egg? added picture

    Ok, We just got over a molt and some kind of respiratory illness. The girls are starting to lay again. The last few days someone has laid a olive egg. I am at a loss to who this could be. The only thing I can think of is pamela (our blue ee) , she laid a sage colored egg, like a light olive...

    How many chickens fit into a nest box?

    Why 4 in each one, if they are my crazy 5 month old girls. So how can I get them to stop sleeping in the top nest boxes (which noone will lay an anyway). 4 of them cram into each one. Two of my older hens sleep on the top of it (even though it is slanted) and the long roost has only a few...

    Are these guys still cockerels?

    Ok, I was sold two Black copper Marans "pullets". I came on here and was told they were both roos. Since then, I was told in an email that they were poor quality bcm pullets, then told they were pullets, but not BCM, maybe Cochin crosses (which the lady that had the bcm also raised cochin.) So...

    Crowing?

    I have two chicks that are 4-5 months old. The oldest, was named Hershey, cause I was told it was a black Marans pullet. We have since changed the name to He-She, cause I keep getting told it is a marans cockerel (both are) and then I was told, no it is a marans pullet, then I was told, no they...

    molting

    I know you are probably sick of molting posts. Sorry, this is my first one I have a flock of 19 (7 hens and 12- 4 month old chicks) So I am pretty sure they are molting, it looks like a pillow exploded in the coop and run. Howerever the chickens dont look like all the pictures I am seeing of...

    24 hour bug?

    Ok, so I posted on my impacted crop in my sf the other day. She was fine the next day. Well I have had 4 other chickens do the same thing (on different days). They make a honking sound like they are choked, breath a little funny (more mouth open, but not faster) and dont eat much. The next day...

    Great pyr

    I have heard so much about this breed. My mom actually wanted one a while back before we even got chickens. My dog and her dog are both getting old. We have two houses in one yard about 3/4 acre. We are thinking when our dogs go we might get one. I would love to free range all day. My question...

    Leghorns?

    We have a VERY mixed flock. We added a few leghorns a couple of months ago. We got two whites and one brown (she was supposed to be a welsummer). The brown is flighty and scared of everything The whites are spazzy. They are like two hyper little 2 yr olds. The run here then run there fly all...

    My chick is not doing well. Update!

    I think I know why I went to two births in the last 2 1/2 days (well I did deliver one, but the other was a false labor.) My husband said he would feed and water the chickens. I went out this morning and my SF chick was just sitting there kind of clearing her throat. I noticed the blue pan of...

    Remind me why I clean their water dish?

    So I spend a bit of time each day cleaning out the water dish. (they have a nipple waterer also)but they like to stand in it and poop in it. So I wash it almost every day. It is beautiful. I could drink out of it. But as soon as I let them out they run to the spot by the faucet that become a mud...

    Brabanter/Faverolle

    What do you think a Brabanter and a faverolle cross would look like. Anyone done that. I am not thinking of doing that (not gonna have a rooster), but I was think how sweet my Brabanters are and how cool they look, but a little on the thin/gamey side for my taste. Then I thought how cool to get...

    Welsummer or brown leghorn

    This chick is 4 months old. She was sold to me as a Welsummer, was originally from Ideal. I just wanted to check one last time. If she is a leghorn, she is going to a friend (that almost has their coop finished), if she is a welsummer, or still a chance that she could be, then we are keeping...
