Hi, Ive got a rooster and a hen that I got from a bantam package. Im having difficulty classifying the breeds. This is Sebastian and Roquet: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/16538_bassy.jpg So is she a Plymouth Rock? or a Cuckoo Maran? Is he an Old English game? or a Dutch Bantam?

Some hawks took away about 20 of my chicks and I'm getting a dog. A Pembroke Welsh Corgi. So the question is this: Are they the right breed? Will they protect the chickens, or eat them? *EDIT*: How do I train the dogs? I'm no dog expert, you see... Does any one know what I can do in...

I have a pair of purebred frizzle cochins. The male is a mix of different colors (black, white, buff, and brown), but still, he is a pure blood. The female is a beautiful cream colored frizzle cochin. My female has laid a few fertilized eggs and I have no intention to hatch them; I want to sell...

I have a frizzle cochin bantam rooster. Recently, I've been noticing a black wart looking thing developing on his wattle. It's not frostbite though. I am very worried because he is my favorite chicken of the whole flock. I do not know if the rosebud salve effected it. I ran out of Vaseline and...

I am wondering how many acres of land is good for 25 extra small bantams and 30 light standards. Right now, I have 5 acres of land. Is that enough for my chickens? Actually, since they are bantams, this means strait run for them. So if some of them turn out to be roos, then i may have less that...
