    My gf has 7 or so young roosters to give away. They are all mixed with various hens but all look amazing. Here is the dad, Monroe. And here are several shots of them. They were hatched earlier this year. She has to get rid of them and would prefer not to "off" them...

    What can I expect when mixing these 2 birds?

    I hope this is the right section for this. My gf has an absolutely beautiful GLW roo named Monroe, and I have Jane....an always broody GLW hen. I don't know enough about the purity of bloodlines and what not to know what to expect if we were to mate them, but I would loooooove to see what kind...

    2.5 year old Golden Laced Wyandotte rooster. Sanford/Asheboro area

    My gf's flock has shrunk so she only needs one of her two GLW's. His name is Rhodey and I will try to post some new pics of him later this afternoon. He is currently at my property in Broadway, NC.

    An unexpected Mothers Day gift.

    Walked outside into the front yard about an hour ago...I see my Speckled Sussex just sitting there, presumably just hanging out, and then she moves. Mind blown. We had no idea that she was sitting on eggs somewhere, and we still don't know where she had them hid. She has 15 and the father...

    Update on my broody hen.

    Jane has been broody under our large back porch for several weeks now, and I made the mistake of not moving her to somewhere a little more accessible. Long story short, we managed to get her most current hatchlings from her and into the brooder box. I would love her to raise the chicks, however...

    Jane is hatching an egg right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What do I do?

    Happy New year everyone!(Yes its been a while since I posted) Lol. Long story short, my GLW has been under our back deck for 3 weeks...and to the exact day....I hear peeping. She is so far up under the deck we can't get to her without pulling up floor boards. I don't know how long it has been...

    Help! One chicken dead, one behaving poorly

    Just got a call from my mom. She found one of my EE's dead. Well at first we were thinking it was a small male dog that is around (terrier) because our two dogs are in heat. However, she also said one of my wyandottes is acting strange. She is acting like she is blind. Not walking, staying in...

    Sick chick

    Well it looks like I have a sick chick. One of my copper marans is acting lethargic and has labored breathing since yesterday. I started feeding it a little bit of sugar water, which seemed to help it last night. I noticed a little burst of energy. It is still eating and drinking, just not...

    Red acting strange. Eggbound?

    Just noticed this yesterday. This one red keeps her feathers "puffed" like she is cold(all day) and has a lot of discharge from her vent. Her last little poop was very wet, not solid at all. Haven't had a chance to watch her until now. She still eats when I toss her a treat but she just doesn't...

    The Khan thread.

    I have really fallen in love with my EE rooster, Khan. For a long time he was just butt ugly, then over the past few months his colors have really come in.

    Only surviving chick doesn't appear to be eating.

    All of my chicks from this last hatch have died. The only one that is left is the little easter egger who seems to be in great shape. I have seen her drink, but haven't seen her eat from the feeder yet. She keeps pecking around it in the shavings but doesn't seem to know what it is for. She...

    Not panicking, but concerned. Should i help this chick?

    OK. I've got 5 that have pipped, 2 have hatched. 1 of those I'm gonna have to cull. However, I have one egg that s pipped last night, and has made some progress. The thing "odd" that I can tell is how the chick is positioned. It pipped through the air sac properly, but it looks like it has in a...

    Probably going to have to cull this chick. Graphic Warning!!!!!! Duplicate post, sorry

    I posted this in another section when I should have posted here. Anyways, one of my wyandottes has what appears to be its intestines hanging out. Yeap. I feel horrible and it has been this way for hours. He is active and standing and chirping, but I know I can't open the bator since I've got...

    Ugh, might have to cull a chick. Warning-Graphic pictures

    This is last night right after hatching. Looks great. Now there is something thick, red and dragging hanging out of its butt. And there is a lot of blood all over the place. It doesn't look like yolk. More like intestine or an organ...no shape to it just red and gooey. The chick is standing and...

    What constitutes a show class Golden Laced Wyandotte?

    I'm digging through my million pics on my PC, trying to find some pics to show ya'll. My gf has 2 gorgeous GLW. One of them is very fat, stout, and looks like he means bidness. Beautiful bird. What does one look for in a show chicken?
