    3 pullets had first eggs today!

    My first chickens that I raised from day old chicks started laying today! Well, 3 of them anyway. I am so excited! I have 4 hens that I traded some pullets for that are a year old and laying, but none that I have raised myself! I had 2 VERY soft squishy eggs (the first 2), and one very tiny...

    What kind of rooster?

    Traded my 4 white rock pullets (don't care to have white chickens) for 2 barred rocks and 2 "BO's" that ended up being one BO and one Buff Rock Anyway, they brought me 2 surprise roo's too because apparently they have too many roos. One is a barred OEGB which is beautiful, and this gorgeous...

    Finally a pic of the "bald eagle" bantam. What am I?

    When she was smaller, I thought OEGB, but I have no idea.

    Chick looks like bald eagle?

    I will get pics tomorrow, but my neighbor brought me 2 chicks that she got for her daughters at the feed store. They just wanted to keep them for a week (they aren't farmers or really pet people) and play with them, then pass them to us. They had no idea what they got. Well the one is a BR...

    More pics of my EE's, suspect 2 more roos?

    Ok so I know the one is a roo according to all of you. I am suspicious of the one that is predominately red, and the one that is mostly blue/gray. Also, one of the mostly white ones is getting a dark head. I know that color plays a big roll in gender, but I still don't understand exactly how...

    4 White Rock Pullets, 4 months old, pick up

    Selling my 4 white rock pullets simply because I don't want any white chickens. They are very healthy and will start laying soon. I would also be interested in trading them for 4 equal pullets/hens of color.

    Gender of EE's.

    Well I don't know if I got all 6 of them in these pics. I let them free range during the day, and they are not very tame. Now that someone pointed out that one of them is a boy, I am wondering if I have more roos I bought them all as pullets, and as Ameraucanas I am glad I have ONE rooster...

    EE's, Ameraucanas? Colors?

    I bought what were supposed to be Ameraucanas and Araucanas at the feed store. However, I am not noticing ear tufts, beards, or anything like that yet at a couple of months old. So are they EEs?? They are mixed in with my D'uccles in the pics, which, btw, ended up being 3 roos and 3 hens, but...

    What gender are these 2 silkies?

    I ordered them from McMurray, hatch date Feb 25th. Supposed to both be blue silkie bantams, but one is all white. The white one is quite a big bigger than the blue one, and you cannot see the blue one's eyes, where the white one has more of a bare face. I am hoping I have a breeding pair...

    Butchered my first chicken today, and it stinks?

    I knew the process would stink, but after plucking and gutting, the chicken smells like chicken poo still! Is that normal? It is cleaned out completely. Is it because cornish rock x's are so nasty and lazy and they just lay around in their own poo? I feel like I need to skin it to get the...

    Porcelain Ameraucana?

    Are there porcelain ameraucanas? I have 6 chicks that are, oh, maybe 3 weeks old-ish, and I am not sure of color patters with this breed. 3 of them look like the porcelain d'uccles, that's why I ask.

    Cx loosing feathers?

    I have never raised these before, so this is all new to me! A couple of my birds lay down a lot, which I know is normal for them, but they seem to be losing feathers on their backs. They are a month old and twice the size of my laying hens that are a month older than them. They are all in...

    Nice to meet you all!

    Hello from MI! My name is Mindie and I am new to owning chickens, well, for the most part. I grew up on a farm where we had horses, cows, occasionally goats, and chickens. I got married in 96 and we couldn't really afford to buy a place where we could have the farm I wanted, so we have slowly...

    Bantams and standards together?

    I apologize in advance if I am posting this in the wrong place. I have a bunch of standard sized hens, 2 silkie bantams, and 6 d'uccle bantams. I am new to raising chickens, and figured our coop and run could house them all. Well someone told me I cannot have the bantams with the standard...

    D'uccle chicks, are they all roos??

    Hi! I'm new to the forum, and just started embarking on my chicken rearing journey a couple of months ago I added some new chicks to the family earlier this week. I already had a dozen 2 month old chicks that will be layers, and 4 Cx's that are a month old, but I picked up 6 mille fleur...
