My neighbor has threatened to kill my cats if they are in his yard. We have contacted the police dept, their response was to keep the cats out of his yard. His child has even thrown sticks and rocks at the cats
I have a fixed female (2yrs) names Charlotte, she is all black medium to long...
As I opened the door to the nesting boxes this morning, I grabbed 2 eggs, then looked into a box and my Speckled Sussex Shirley was sitting on another chicken. The other chicken's head was poking out from under Shirley. I lifted Shirley up and there it was. She must of, had to have been...
I've asked about this light brahma before, and I've never gotten a for sure answer. I took "him" back to the farm to swap him out, but they were pretty sure he was a hen. Now, I'm about 100% positive it's a rooster, but don't want to drive out there unless it is for sure a rooster.

I've posted on here about this chick, but I finally got a good picture. 7-8 weeks. Sometimes the comb doesn't look as red in the picture, but those wattles don't go away!
I noticed this morning while my chickens were in the yard that Cheekers was hanging around the coop, slow and and almost looking like she was trying to sleep. I thought it was odd because she free ranges with the other 14wk girls, and they were on the other side of the yard. I picked her up...
I have 2, 5/6 week old chicks (brahma and a cochin-mix). I don't remember my pullets getting wattles at this age. Is it a dead give away for them being roosters?
They have staring matches with each other and bump chests. They have reddish combs, but sometimes they seem more reddish orange...
I bought chicks from a local lady, she said these were pullets. I got them when they were a few days old.
Now the Barred Rock?, s/he is about 8-9 weeks old.
I'm almost positive that the black mix is a roo, not too sure about the white chick (not the silkie). HELP!
Also throwing in a...
5 weeks and a few days. He? has had this comb for a good week now, but the tips are starting to turn redish. It's a lot bigger than my other silkie, which are the same age / hatch.
(That is NOT the coop in the picture, I just put them in it to get some fresh air during the day. They are...
I have 2, 5 week old silkies. One of them is a lot bigger and has a comb with red/pink tips, the other has nothing and is smaller. How can I tell if it is a roo? (other than waiting for a crow or egg) It also bumps my husband's hand with it's chest whenever my husband puts his hand in the...
New here! I bought these silkie babies from a breeder over the weekend. I'm pretty sure the bigger one will be white, however I'm unsure of the smaller one. She said she was guessing buff, but her husband said splash. All of her silkies that I saw were either black or white.
