I have 2 roosters that need good homes. 1 is a barred rock and the other is a broiler. They were sold to me as girls at about 2 days old. They were born around Sept. 24th. I got them for eggs and pets, not for butchering. But again they turned out to be males and worse one turned out to be a...
I have thought about that as well and I have thought about giving him to someone who will give him a good home but letting him live too much longer would be just as cruel. I do not believe in the people who cut their food intake that is just not right either so I would be a hypocrite in letting...
I know, but I did not know that when I bought them, and when I got them the person who helped me was not helpful. I even told them I wanted them as pets and for eggs and pest control. He asked if I was going to eat them I said no. So he picked a few different types out for me. Needless to say I...
The big ones were all born around Sept. 23rd.
This just sucks I am so mad at the place that sold them to me as girls . I really love them both but will have to get rid of them if I do not move in time before they start crowing. I have fell in love with all of them. They are used to me and my...
Here are a bunch of pictures of my Lazy not sure if she is a boy or girl, she turned out to be a broiler did not know that when I got her at 2 days old. I know they grow big fast. Was sold as a girl to me. However her waddle and comb are so big wasnt sure if this is just due to her breed or if...
Thank you, I still have the spider locked up waiting for a friend of mine who knows about spiders (not a professional but is interested in them), but they have no idea about chickens so I thought I would ask. They eat flys, moths, mosquitos when they catch them, and lizards. But I have yet to...
Does anyone know if the giant crab spider will hurt my chickens 4 are born Sep. 24 and 2 are born Oct. 18th, all are outside in a coop and I caught the spider on the inside wall of the coop it was ontop but droped in when I tried to caputure it. (finally got it though). Still alive in bowl...
So funny, Untill I had chickens I thought they were gross but little did I know they are so cute and have so much personality each one very different. I love to just watch them.
We just built my coop finally for them since the 6 have been in the house since we got them, very spoiled rotten...
My take on No Name is Girl, Only because she has a tail from day one. She is still darker as of now than Dumb Dumb was, and her barring is thicker black than white, (but her barring is very neat on her wings where I have heard females are usually less of a pattern), also It is weird but looking...
Did I mention I am the only girl in my family, 4 brothers, my dog is a boy my child is a boy, my brothers child is a boy. I now probably have 3 girl chicks and 2 boy chicks. The more I look at my either she is a ((Wyandotte/Sussex/Delaware not sure what she is yet (ps was told she was a...
To Chillin with my peeps, I am in Az,
To Aoxa: Yes I see that the wings in the girls from the start are black and when the white came in I do see they are not very neat looking very speratic. So once again it seems I picked another boy. So if anyone wants a BR boy come to me and ask me to...
Sorry should have noted that No Name was born Oct. 18th puchased Oct. 20 and and these pics were taken Oct. 28th. Dumb Dumb was born around Sept. 26th and purchased on Sept. 28th so after my original posting when I though he was a he and not a she, I bought No Name from the next available...
UPDATE:
I cannot believe how much Dumb Dumb has changed already: Finally has tail
and has the barring starting on head and back not just on wings
As for No name who I do believe to be a girl based on the fact that as a tiny thing she has a tail already, a more rounded...
Very interesting, and now something new I will be looking up and researching online. My boyfriends laughs because I have never researched or been on line so much as since I received the 1st 4 chickens. Thank you, and again very gorgeous chicks.
Hi! Welcome,
I am new to chickens and have had a few questions thus far and backyard chickens is an amazing site with lots of stories and answers to questions.
I had yet to see a baby light brahma only what the place called her. Yours is so cute, I love that kind of military light brown color would be neat to have a chicken stay that color. She is very different looking than mine, and there is lots of feathers on her feet (I thought it would grow in...
