    Sumatra Rooster is Overbreeding My Hens 🥲

    I have a beautiful Sumatra rooster. I about to put him alone, he's made FIVE out of his 13 hens bald. I've never had this breed to be fair, but he's an unbelievably active rooster. I'm not sure I can keep him 😭 13 hens should be more than enough for one rooster. I'm a seasoned keeper and...

    Is this frostbite? Salmon Faverolle Hen Comb

    I thought maybe it was mud, but I think this is just her comb color now. It's been like this for a couple months and she seems healthy otherwise. If it were frostbite, I would have thought it'd fall off? Never had any birds impacted, no other flock members have this.

    What colors.can this cross create? I have 2 new Silver Laced Sebright Roosters and will have both Splash and Black Rosecomb Bantam Hens in spring. Curious what kind of babies they could create? 🤔 I tried that chicken calc thing, but didn't see a splash from the pick a photo option.

    I think I'd like to try a few ducks. I want some child friendly, non flying, and maybe quieter side. I love small chickens, but whatever size is ok.

    What's the latest age you've seen a bantam rooster sprout up from nowhere?

    I've got 6 week old Silver Sebrights and don't see any comb growth. Wondering how old they might age up to if any are going to sprout a big bright comb and waddles.

    Baby chick's tongue is completely missing..omg

    No poultry vets in area. 5-week-old OEGB pullet is in penguin stance gasping for air (no rasp, on medicated feed, no other chicks showing any symptoms of anything like a respiratory distress. No discharge, no blood, empty crop, no fluid or vent liquid, no mites). Her tongue is just straight up...

    Rooster sperm can be viable for 3 months, but can hens select which eggs are fertile?

    Can hens choose or is fertilization not a choice?
