    Hatching with 2 broodies

    16 paws- I'm so glad to hear that the fires are moving away and that your home is unaffected- that's really good news. Yes, I'm a photographer. I mainly do stock photography, weddings and portraits. Since getting the chickens I have done quite a lot of chicken photography too! Trouble is they...

    Hatching with 2 broodies

    Hi everyone. Gosh 16 paws- that sounds really scary :-(. Thinking of you and hoping that you stay safe and the fires are dealt with quickly. We have nothing like that in the UK so I can't begin to imagine how it must feel. Teila- your chickens are gorgeous! I especially love Blondie. Here's a...

    Hatching with 2 broodies

    Morning everyone! Well, iit's morning here in the UK anyway :-). I hope everyone's chickens are hard at work and all is going smoothly. Lesa Mae- yes only one of my hens is broody, although this morning she was off the nest and my other Pekin hen was sat on the eggs in her place. Ebony (the...

    And thank you for the welcome Lesa Mae and Italy Chickie :-). I'm definitely looking forward to throwing a whole load of questions at you. I didn't realise it could all be so stressful- even when I'm attempting to let nature take it's course!

    Hi chicken crazy999, yes the broody hen is the one in the picture. The bald spot is caused by overenthusiastic cockerel attention. They can be rough! I think she started sitting on eggs on about 1st May- they have all come from the chickens in the flock so she just gathered them up herself. I...

    Hatching with 2 broodies

    Hi everyone, I have just spent three days reading through this thread and it's been emotional. You guys have been through lots of tears and happiness together! I live in the UK and I have 8 chickens in my back garden- 2 pekin hens, 2 buff laced wyandotte hens, 2 silver spangled Hamburg hens, a...

    What breed and gender please?

    Hmmm. Thank you. Chickenreferee- 'he' certainly looks much more like your cockerel than your pullet. Those photos are really helpful. I guess I'll prepare myself for the likelihood of having to find a new home for him! It's a shame because he's a beautiful chicken. It's proving to be a bit of a...

    What breed and gender please?

    Thanks for your replies and warm welcome :-) It may be older than 12 weeks but not by much- maybe a few weeks at the most I think. What's worrying me is the green tail feathers that seem to be getting ever greener and longer. Are green feathers a good sign of a cockerel? I know I should just...

    What breed and gender please?

    Does anyone have any idea of the breed and/or sex of this 12 week old chicken. I'm new to all this so please forgive my ignorance. It has no sign of spurs, but has very green looking tail feathers growing (sorry- the picture doesn't show them at all well). Thank you, Deborah
