    Successful breaking of egg eaters

    Thank you! I have told my husband that his next job is to build a roll away. Its def not that the eggs are cracked. They have been laying for months in the crate. It is a med/large size plastic dog crate so there is plenty of room for multiple ones to go inside and lay at same time. They used to...

    Successful breaking of egg eaters

    My chickens seem to be molting already. They are just now a year old. I noticed that egg laying had slowed down as I was hardly getting any eggs. We have an old dog crate that they usually lay in. Today my husband seen one of my hens come out of the crate and another chicken or two immediately...

    Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

    I've been hoping for a hen but fearing that it is a roo. But we hatched it and will love it regardless. I don't think we could bear to part with our Marshmallow. :) Thank you all!

    Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

    I posted this on another thread and as told it was an EE. Someone said hen and another said roo. So I figured I would post to this thread and see if I could get more clarity possibly. This chick hatched Jan 11 out of a small light blue egg. I originally thought I had a cochin but have been told...

    Cute and tiny assorted bantams - Breed??

    The combs are still very tiny but appear to be single straight comb. I hope their legs feather out big and pretty.

    Cochin?? Roo or Pullet?

    Thank you. I didn't think she was a cochin but wasn't sure. It was a small egg with a bluish tint. I know the man had some olive eggers because he also gave me some of those eggs but none were fertilized. She kinda looked like my light brahma with the comb and feathered legs but not the puffs...

    Cute and tiny assorted bantams - Breed??

    I just couldn't resist these little beauties when I went into the feed store. I'm wondering what breed they might be. I'm not necessarily concerned with sex yet because I know it is still early. Just curious as to what kind I may have. Both have 4 toes on each foot and pretty feathering...

    Cochin?? Roo or Pullet?

    This was my only one to hatch on Jan 11. It hatched out of the tiniest sky blue egg and I thought it may be a cochin because I thought that was what kind of eggs the man gave me. It's comb has grown some but looks a lot redder inside then when I take him/her outside. There really aren't any...

He is still crowing and cackling and acting fine. I hope he is the only one that catches it. Thank u all for ur help and...

    What wrong with my handsome boy's face?

    I feel a little better. I searched on the website and found another thread and it seems like dry pox just runs its course since it is viral. As long as it doesn't develop into wet pox, we should be good and even then, if I catch it in time and swab their mouths to remove the lesions, then they...

    Fowl Pox part 2

    I'm so glad I found this thread. I posted a pic of my roo earlier and it was suggested as pox. I was devastated as I thought this meant I may lose him. I doctored his facial areas but will definitely be checking him tomorrow to make sure there are no lesions in his mouth. However, he still crows...

    What wrong with my handsome boy's face?

    I did look at the pictures but only a few looked like him. A lot of the pictures looked like ulcers but his are hard raised areas. How would I know if the hen has it too? They were a Christmas present from my hubby. I hope he doesn't die

    What wrong with my handsome boy's face?

    Is this contagious? He is in a pen with his banty hen. And altho they don't free range, some of the other free range hens stick their head thru the fence and share their water at times. Now I'm very worried.

    White Plymouth Rock or Leghorn or something else??

    We used to joke that he was albino cause his legs were so white and so was his beak.
