    ISO: Black Copper Marans & olive egger pullets

    Trying to find some Black Copper Marans pullets, as well as Olive Eggers. Having a hard time locating these breeds in my area. I'm in Connecticut. Age of chicks doesn't matter, can be a full grown bird too. They will be very well cared for pets. Just want those dark chocolate colored eggs, and...

Sometimes I drive people nuts but that's ok. I'd like to start a thread for all of us "crazy Arab people, to share pictures and stories of...

    When do I know if I have boys or girls for chicks?

    I hatched 4 pea chicks this summer, they're almost 2 months old. Three of the chicks are getting some blueish/greenish feathers on their necks. Does this mean they are boys or can the females also get some color at this age? I know very little about peafowl in general. We have a pair of pet...

    Is this a pullet?

    This little chick is 5,5 weeks old now. Dad was a New Hampshire Red, hatchery quality. Mom some sort of an Easter Egger, chick hatched from a green egg. Can't tell for sure which hen laid the egg. Is it safe to say this chick is a SHE? Or maybe it's too early to tell? I've read that if the...

    are these pullets?

    I've had silkies for too long, so I'm not so sure on the genders of some of these chicks the farm hatched this year. I know we have 2 cockerels, but the other two I'm wondering about. These two to me are obvious cockerels. This, I'm pretty sure she's a pullet. I'm not 100% on...

    Is this a New Hampshire Red?

    One of the kids here at the farm has a hen she'd like to show but she's not sure if the hen is 100% New Hampshire Red? I know absolutely nothing about the breed. I've tried Google, but I'm still not absolutely sure if this hen really is all New Hampshire Red. Can anyone help us out?

    What kind of a duckling is this??

    Can anyone tell what kind of a duck this is? And how do I tell how old it is? Or what gender? I live on a non-profit rescue farm, so we get all sorts of animals here. Today, a gentleman brought this duckling to us. He found "Lucky" out in the last snow storm we had. Mom was nowhere to be...

    Signs of a turkey getting old?

    I know absolutely nothing about turkeys. We have two of them at the farm, both girls. One of them apparently is pretty old, not sure about the age. The younger one is probably between 3 and 5, I'm really not sure. The old lady is having trouble walking, she's limping, can't keep her balance...

    What's with my Silkie pullet??

    I have a 7 month old silkie pullet and she keeps sneezing. Actually, it doesn't even sound like a sneeze, I'm really not sure what it is that she's doing. This is a video of her. You'll hear the noise right at the beginning of the video. She does it all day long and it's been going on for a few...

    Can worms cause cold like symptoms?

    I have a flock of silkies and a couple of cochin bantams. We also have two female turkeys in the same coop. It is built so that there is a wall in between, turkeys on one side, silkies & cochins on other. Basically they share the same air, germs and all. I clean their coops on a regular basis...

    How did I get an olive colored egg??

    I didn't really know where else to post this. I guess this might go under the genetics so I'll try my luck here. I found a little olive colored egg in one of our coops the other day. It is about the size of a quarter, maybe a little bigger. The question is, how did we end up with this olive...

    Chicken with runny nostrils & eye that's getting crusty

    So I have a 5 month old Silkie pullet. She's been sneezing, it started probably 5 days ago. Then the runny 'nose' started and for the last 3 days, every morning, I find her with her right eye crusted shut. I separated her from the rest of the flock. She is in a warm, dry room by herself. I...

    Help with a sick Silkie hen?

    I have a hen that's not doing so good. I found her out in her coop, perched on their perch. Picked her up, put her outside on the ground. She just sat there. I gave her a little push to see if she would walk. She took a couple of steps and stopped again. It's been cold so I figured she was just...

    Help with very swollen eye!?

    Today I found my 7 month old Cochin, Lucille, with a very swollen eye. I have no idea what's wrong with her eye and have never seen anything like this. I'm hoping she got something in her eye and it made it extremely irritated.... This is the front view. Sideview. And her good eye...

    Help, lice infested rooster

    So, someone "donated" an old rooster to us. We are a non-profit rescue farm so we get all sorts of critters. I'm assuming the people that had the rooster either had no clue how to even look for lice, or they knew of the roosters condition and that's why he's here. Either way, he's with us now...

    What breed are these white girls?

    So, we were given three pullets by our grain delivery guy. They're probably about 5-6 monts old now. If I remember correcty, they were said to be 9 weeks old when we got the girls, and that was in May. Someone suggested White Wyandottes but they are laying green eggs! Wyandottes don't lay green...
