This is a nine week Black Copper Marans. It has had its comb and wattles for a few weeks now, its sister is visible below. They're both the same age, this one just matured super fast. I haven't noticed any attempts to start crowing. Is this a pullet? I've seen some Marans that look like this and...

I just came home and saw one of my pullets was a little... bloody. I have my cockerel quarantined primarily because he was eating eggs. I have picked her up and I took the pictures below; I also put her in a 4'x4'x3' box to protect her from the other pullets to allow her to heal. She's been...

I'm at my wits end! HELP! I have 5 pullets (6 months old) and one cockerel (same age). I got my first egg on November 14th 2011, I've been getting one egg a day for the most part. I've been finding a lot of shells and eaten eggs in the coop lately. During the christmas break I spent a lot of...

Checked on my girls this evening for eggs and saw two. Picked them up and immediately I noticed a difference. This egg felt wrinkled, it was spotty (none of my egg layers have ever produced a spotted egg) and the sounds it made were very different. When I moved my fingers around it I got the...

My girl(s) have been eating their eggs lately. I'm giving them layer pellets mixed with grower crumbles (Don't want to hurt the rooster). They haven't been eating BOSS as much, but they devour apples and what not. I've noticed that they have been throwing their food all over (new feeding...

I noticed a few of my lovely ladies had black spots on their combs I presume they're fighting or something. I then saw this one with yellow spots on hers. I was able to get some of the yellow off (It is what I presume to be leftovers from an eaten egg). I noticed this "white" stuff on the comb...

I've been getting one egg every day for a couple weeks now (Except for today and yesterday; looks like they were eaten ). Anywho, I have "candled" my eggs a few times with a very high powered LED flashlight and I noticed that the eggs seemed blotchy. They don't look like this when I bring them...

So I witnessed my Roosert "Roo-ing" one of my females. I was quite surprised at the display and thought to myself, "If the rooster is mating with that chick she must be ready to lay" I looked in my coop and saw an egg, then two, then three! I was so excited hahaha. A photo comparison to show...

I have been wanting to get a pumpkin for my little children to eat and finally found one this morning! Below is a video of them devouring it. My cockerel (I think it's a male) in the background makes very very strange sounds... tell me what you think

So I recently had to get rid of my two Cockerels *sadface* because they were becoming overtly aggressive towards the other females. I replaced them with two more pullets. I can't for the life of me figure out what breed the gray one below is. She looks like the white one I have (which I believe...

Hey everyone ! I finished my garage coop this weekend and I'm super excited so I had to share It's 4' wide by 16' long and it's 7' high. Here's a picture of the left side (with the door) Here's the right side It took a few hours to build but I'm quite happy with it. The chickens are also...

Anyone have a guess as to which breeds I have here? I believe the Brown ones are Orpingtons and the black one to be an Australorp. The white one I'm not too sure "she" is also the smallest. I think the black one is a male also. They're just too freaking cute! They looooove my pear tree.

I received these chicks from my mom who in turn got them from a school who hatched them. I have 4 of the yellowish ones, a black one and a small white one. I can get better pictures if need be. This is the lot of them when I got them on Saturday July 16th 2011. This was taken last night July...

Hello Everyone, I've been reading the forums over the past week gathering as much information as possible. I received 6 baby chicks from my mom last weekend. They're adorable! I live in Manchester NH in a house. I have read some threads regarding the laws and I've attempted searching for them...
