I have a Sizzle rooster in with my mille fleur D'uccle hens and was wondering if anybody has hatched eggs from this pairing or knows how probable it is to get frizzled chicks. Pictures to come.
Almost my entire flock of hens have been wiped out by predators, so I need more to keep my roos from fighting. I'll need about 10 between 4 to 12 months old. I love Easter Eggers and Olive Eggers, but will consider any breed/mix. I live near Branson, MO. Will travel an hour to pick them up...
I would like to trade my white Leghorn cockerel and 2 pullets for 2 Welsummer, or Marans pullets/hens. My pullets just started laying in May. I would like the chickens I get to be laying already, but less than 2 years old. Thank you for looking!
My light Sussex pullet has snot coming out of her nostrils really bad. She is still running around and doing all her regular stuff, but now she's making a clicking sound which I'm sure means she's having breathing problems. Should I separate her from the others? Is there anything I can give her...
Okay. I'm confused. I have 2 cockerels and 4 pullets that are all supposed to be Delawares. 5 of the 6 all look similar. There's one that completely stands out. Different eyes, color, and shape. I'd like to know if they are all Delawares, or if I have a different breed. Please help!
I have 1 coop which right now holds 4 RIR hens, 4 Delaware pullets, and 2 Delaware cockerels. I know I will be getting rid of one of the cockerels. My daughter is in 4-H and we just started in entrepreneurship. She plans on selling eggs and chicks from our eggs. We got the 2 cockerels and 2 of...
I was wondering if anybody would be able to help me identify the colors of my 4 EE chicks. I'm just curious to see what they're going to look like when they get their big girl feathers in.

I just started out in this wonderful hobby and got my first egg from one of my RIR hens today. It was normal. But, after looking through the threads and all the abnormal egg posts I thought it'd be fun and informative to put the pictures into one thread. Sorry if this has already been done. I...
In a few weeks my Delaware chicks will be moving out to the coop with my RIR hens. I'm not sure what I should be feeding them. Right now I have layers pellets out there. I'm feeding the Delawares chick starter/grower. I was told we can't eat the eggs if the hens are eating starter/grower and...
I have a Delaware cockerel that needs to find a new home. I would love to get a Delaware pullet as a trade, or you can just give me $2 for him. I can keep him until it's time to move to the coop if needed. I live near Branson, MO and can meet around the area.
Hi! I picked up 2 Silkie chicks and was wondering if anybody can tell me what color this one is going to be.
And here's a picture of the black chick doing a Captain Morgan pose on my hand. lol
I am going to pick up some Deleware chicks this weekend and want to make sure I do the best I can at getting all pullets. Is there any way other than feather sexing to tell? Does anybody have pictures of 2-3 week old pullets and cockerels so maybe I can tell the difference? Thank you in advance...
Hi! I'm going to be getting my first chickens in a month or so and need help figuring out a few things to get my large garden shed turned into a coop.
I was planning on putting the roosts on the back wall and the shelves for the nests on the right wall
I already have a door. The shed was used...
Hi! I'm turning my garden shed into a coop and have lots of question and need lots of help. I've never had chickens before, but have always wanted some. I will be posting some questions very soon.
