So very true! So long as Rhett minds his manners and stays quiet he can live a nice happy life around here

I am just going to hope he stays chill. If it weren’t for the feathers you would never guess he was a rooster. He’s such the baby of the flock right now and he’s not the youngest in the group.

He’s just a little over three months old, but doesn’t have an ounce of dominance - I kind of feel bad for the little guy lol

So our sweet boy here very much appears to be a rooster, but based on behavior not so much. He is the smallest chicken in the group of hens and sleeps tucked up underneath our two leghorn girls. Now we aren’t supposed to have roosters, but I feel horrible giving him to a place that says they...

Got some updated photos of our silkie that the gender has yet to be determined

Trying to sex these two. Assuming grey one is a rooster, silkie I can’t figure out.

ok so most of my hens stopped laying shortly after we brought in a rescued hen. I assumed they were mad at the new addition plus the weather has been weird. Then I noticed an excess of barred rock feathers so I assumed they were molting - and one in particular looks much smaller and you can see...

Thanks! I wish I could remember if we were getting two blue eggs a day or not - I thought we had been, but now I'm questioning that one....

Any idea what she is? I had two - one was for sure laying blue eggs. The second one died and I thought she stopped laying because we stopped getting blue eggs. Now I'm wondering if she was really laying brown all along and I didn't realize it...? I thought we were getting two a day for a bit...

So we bought four chicks yesterday, by evening one of them had a bald swollen spot. Is it just her crop? Or should I be worried something else is wrong?

We just picked up 3-4 week old RIR and Barred Rack chicks this morning. All were fine, then this evening I discovered one with a huge bald section that looked like a swollen lump. Any ideas?

Yea I got lucky and the wood wasn't very expensive...maybe try something like Craigslist?

I too have been feeding my little girl a mash and the rest of the girls join in with her to eat some, but always let her finish eating by herself and let her get priority when it comes to eating.

Thank you!

Thanks everyone! You all really give me hope! I can't believe sometimes how attached I am to all of my girls especially Roxanne, she is just the sweetest thing and not the personality I ever expected when I got chicken, but the one I hoped they would have.

Thank you! They are some pretty little girls! :) I was just telling my mom they have all gotten relatively tame and like to be petted now when I give them food at night when they are in their coop, I think they have been watching the dogs and cats too much (lol) I'll try going over there...

When you go to the feed store and ask for powdered vitamins for the chickens will they know what I am talking about? Also question to everyone else, my girls are roughly 11 weeks I read somewhere that the cross beak won't get any worse once they reach 18 weeks of age, is that actually the...

I had previously posted my own thread about this and someone directed me to this thread, so glad to see other people going through the same thing as I am! I'm a first time chicken raiser, my Grandpa has had chickens on and off for years but this is a first for me. I have what are supposed...
