    Craigslist: What's wrong with this chicken?

    Look at the chicken in the second pic at this link. His head is pink. Is this lighting, genetics, people doing odd things to their chickens? not that I haven't seen this trend here. http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/grd/2432901747.html

    Naked neck silkie crossed with? & boy or girl?

    Picked up this NN silkie. Any ideas of gender and what was crossed with it? Hopefully the pics are good enough. Any guesses on gender for the silkie? Was told the silkie was 12 weeks. Naked necks age is unknown.

    rubber bands?

    Went to the local chicken swap yesterday and my wife picked up a silkie. They also gave us a freebie mixed breed. So now the 2 freinds are hanging out and chasing bugs and I noticed that they both have a green rubber band on their right leg. Does this mean something important, or is this just a...

    adding a hen

    I have 2 Australorps. I bought them as sexed by the hatchery pullets at the end of march when they were maybe a week old. Now they're around 7-8 weeks old and I strongly suspect one is a roo even though he hasn't crowed yet. So he should need more hens so he won't abuse my single hen correct? I...

    different medications in feed

    My local feed store is switching feed suppliers. I had been giving my chickens the medicated feed that contains the ampro something. It's made by FRM. They're switching to Seminole brand feed and it appears to contain 2 medicines. Ampro and something that begins with a "B". Is this going to mess...

    Mallard question.

    We have 3 mallards (1 male, 2 females) running around the neighborhood. They are semi owned by my one neighbor who feeds them but live completely outside roaming between 4 ponds/ properties. I actually find them sleeping in my pond quite often. This morning I found an egg sitting right at the...

    Lost one. This bites.

    Got some Amerecuanas from the feed store. (yes I knew they were EE's) Cute little buggers. Multi tone brown stripes. One is extremely small and her sister is normal (?) for a 2 week old chick. They've been living in the brooder with some bantams and a couple australorps. Eatin' drinkin' and...

    Should they be forced into a coop?

    9 of my bantam chickens are finally big enough to be outside. They're about 5-7 weeks old. They're about as big as a pigeon or smaller. I'm using a former dog run as a run. It's about 520 sq. ft. plus an open area under a porch that is another 64 sq. ft. 6' high fence all the way around. I...

    Bumpy beak means rooster?

    One of my bantams is about 4-5 weeks old. She's(?) developed a ridge of bumps going up the top of her beak and onto her head. Does this mean rooster? or is it meaningless at this point?

    Can rabbits eat cauliflower leaves?

    I have some cauliflower plants that were planted too late and probably won't make it. It's already hitting the mid to high 80's here. So it's just a big clump of leaves. Can I cut these leaves off and feed them to my wife's rabbit? I saw a list of foods they can eat and can't eat and cauliflower...

    Baby chick breathing heavy

    My wife's coworker gave us 4 bantam "yardbirds" (mixed breed bantams). Since I'm new to this I'm unsure of exact age but they had some wing feathers but the rest of them were fuzz still. Now approximately 5 days later 3 of them have lots of feathers but the smallest one still looks the same...
