I've had lots of cockerels this year, so I'm hoping for these to all be pullets.....but I doubt my luck on this Silver Laced Wyandotte Rhode Island Red Speckled Sussex Buff Orpington

Before I give this one up, I want confirmation that this Ameraucana is indeed a little cockerel. About 9 weeks old.

About 7 weeks old. Roo?

Roo? About 7 weeks. Yes, I already know this one has the wrong comb.

Since it seems like I have a whole batch of little roos, might as well find out the rest. Not so happy this morning. What the heck am I going to do with all roos??? Ugh!. Sorry for the TONS of pictures!!! #1 Not sure how old this Frizzle/Silkie (possible Polish in the mix as well), but...

I know one has an oddity of a rose comb. Roos, pullets, one of each??? SLW #1 SLW #2 Both together

The end of April, a fox came into the yard and got my rooster. Right in the middle of the day! My hens are all 1st year layers, all about a year old now or just under, and had been laying regularly until the incident with the fox. There has not been one single egg from my 6 ladies since...

Is this a silver laced wyandotte? I'm sorry I don't have a better pic. My daughter REALLY wants one, and I am having a heck of a hard time finding one! Someone is selling this one and says that it is a SLW pullet. The feathers don't look quite right to me, but I pretty much only know what...

My new polish chick (she is about 6 weeks) seems fine in every way. Except this weird bubble on her back, kind of inbetween her shoulder blade. I've lightly pressed on it and it feels like it is filled with air like a bubble would be. Of course I did not try to pop it. What is this? What...

I came home this weekend with 2 new golden laced/tolbunt split polish chicks. They are about 6 weeks old. Really hoping at least one is a girl. A pair would be fine, but 2 cockerels would be bad. Two girls would be great! What do you think? I know it might be a little early to really...

I know he is part silkie, but not sure of the rest of his heritage. He is a "barn yard mix". I posted him almost a month ago, when I was still having grand delusions that he was a she...Lady Jane....but no, he is Mr. Darcy. Someone said possibly creveceour. But that was before he had his...

Not sure if I am posting this in the proper section or not, but it seemed like this is where this should go. I ended up with a few too many roosters as many of us do. So I placed one on craigslist. I would prefer to not have him eaten, but I certainly won't put that as a restriction...

We woke up to a dead pullet in the coop. She was fine last night. Nothing externally wrong (no wounds, pecking or anything of the like), just looks like she died and fell off the roost. She was roughly about 16 weeks old. A few weeks ago we had one chicken show signs of cocci, so all were...

I was given this pretty little lady yesterday. The rest of her flock was wiped out by a raccoon, but she was hiding up in the rafters. The guy who gave her to me doesn't remember what breed of bantam she is, only that she is just under a year old and is already laying. Any guesses as to what...

I bought these yesterday. They are suppossed to be Cottage Hill rooster over Black Ameraucana hen or Blue-Black-Splash Ameraucana rooster over Wade Jeane and Bev Davis Black Coppper Marans hens (he had both, but he wasn't sure which ones these were). He said they are about 10 weeks old. I...

My son shut the coop door on one of the chickens toes last week. Looked broken, but other than that she seemed fine. I've been putting antibiotic spray on it since daily. This is what it looks like right now. It is all swollen. Is this infection? Is there something I can give her or do for...

I'm am looking to add a few more birds to my flock, and thought an olive egger would be fun. I found someone on craigslist selling 10 week old poulets but for $25. This would be quite a bit higher than I've paid for other pullets. Is that normal going rate for girls that lay different colored...

I've had chickens for a few years now, but only hens. We lost the last of our first flock this spring. In our new pullets that I bought, 2 turned out to be roos. I've gotten over my sadness of Lady Jane being Mr. Darcy (for anyone who read my thread in the gender section...), but now I'm...

When I was letting my 3 older ladies out this morning, one of them had a very squirty, liquidy and bloody poop just as she walked outside. Could that be cocci? Or do you think it is something else? Could she be egg bound? These ladies are a year old and have been laying for a few months now...
