What I have left as of March 6th: 1 SLW Hen, 1 SLW Rooster, 1 RIR, 1 NHR, 1 cornish x, 1 barn mixed roo, 1 blue frizzle cochin, 1 black silkie, 1 jap. bantam mix. I am moving and have to get rid of all my chickens. I figured BYC would be the perfect place to try and sell them to ensure they...

The chicks take up the entire shell... but I wasn't really keep track of the days. She stopped sitting on them and has been roaming around all day and part of last night I assume. The eggs are ice cold but I don''t want to throw them away if they could still be alive... but I have no idea how to...

One of my ducks was bit/attacked by one of our pigs. She has a small piece of skin hanging down by her beak, but no injuries elsewhere. I have no idea what to do for her, it just happened so I haven't seen if she will eat or drink yet. Any suggestions are fully appreciated - and I'm prepared...

Went down to feed the girls this morning and one BR was still on the roost. Went to check on her to put her on the ground and both her eyes are sealed shut. She is also making a weird gurgly noise when she breaths sometimes. She's inside on my lap right now wrapped in a towel. Any help is...

and the forums are acting up and wouldn't let me into my first post... I think I messed it up somehow... ANYWAYS, Just did my first bird. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. After I got the courage to cut him, it was as simple as that. I made sure I thanked him and rubbed his comb and...

Morning all! I'm having a slight problem introducing two month olds to 3 month olds. I bought a silkie and a cochin at a chicken swap. Cochin is a boy for sure, silkie acts rooish but I have no idea if it's a boy or girl, though I refer to him as a he. A month later I went to the chicken swap...

Went down to check on the new chicks I bought today at the chicken swap and happened to look into the nesting boxes and found this: main suspect: over the past few days her face has gotten very red while her sisters still have pink/yellow faces.

DB just got a nifty new camera that takes awesome pictures! So here are some new pictures of the girls and boys, excuse the messy coop, it's needing cleaned around this time! "She has that flashy thing again, uh oh!" "Excuse me human, trying to sleep here!" "Wassat, momma?"...

A snake and a fox all in one day! Luckily no ladies or roos were hurt or killed... Had my two little peeps in the front yard in a dog crate so they could get some sun and bugs. I could see and hear them from the window, so I kept a close eye. All of a sudden they are making tons of noise. I...

Got this cutie at a chicken swap. He/she's my first silkie. It's got a small comb, at around 2months. Don't know very much about silkies, so I was hoping someone on here could help. Sorry if it's hard to see, he/she's a squirmy little chick, lol! Any ideas?

Let the little ones in to test my new meal worms on them.. they had fun pecking and pooping on my floor... and then they found a nice place to rest... As I was taking them back outside the frizzle roo was giving my DB kisses that were too fast to get pictures of.

So I know a lot of you have small coops, which I am very jealous of. I have a big ol' dusty spider infested barn instead. It's filled with spiders, everywhere and all over everything. I really hate spiders and the fact that there are so many is affecting how much time I would like to spend in...

I got a blue frizzle cochin today and a black silkie from a swap. The owners said they weren't sure on sex... but I'm almost 100% sure the cochin is a boy due to his/her comb. I can keep roos where I live, and wouldn't mind getting him some cochin ladies next spring, just gotta know for sure...

Pictures will be up soon. Went to the NH Chicken swap today and couldn't resist them! I didn't know frizzles existed before BYC but I knew as soon as I saw them I HAD to get one of them! I think they might be boys, but I don't mind. Two more beautiful chickies to add to the flock! (: So...

DB bought me some chicks... but doesn't know what kind they are. One turned out to be a barred rock, but the other I have no idea. Her name is snow white and I'd love to know what she is! She came from a feed store, so I doubt she's mixed as they normally buy their chicks from hatcheries...

This is my EE Eagle. I've read that sexing EEs is hard and I have three that I am very unsure about. We got them pre-sexed, but I know first hand that can be faulty. Out of the three he/she seems the most roo-ish. He's also the only one without a beard/tufts. This is Owly, the more hennish...

Unknown Breed Roo, given to us by this awesome woman down the road, our first Roo: I think he's beautiful, just wish I knew what he was, haha. The ladies dust bathing while the roo's watch over. Silver Laced Wyandotte Roo. He was supposed to be a pullet.(?) Owly, Ameracauna pullet, my...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I grew up on a cattle farm but of course we had chickens. Lived in the city for a while in Ohio, then moved to Nh and once again am living the country life. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? I have 26 of them after...
