    Sick Pale Rooster

    This rooster had been in a smaller pen that didn't get lots of direct sunlight. So when I integrated him into my main chicken yard I wasn't overly concerned about his pale comb face and waddles, But its been probably 3 months since I moved him and his paleness hasn't improved. He is about 18...

    What is this?!

    Definately a mutt. Nothing wrong with a mutt you know Hybred Vigor and all. As far as the sex goes and I had to guess I would go with rooster too, but you can never tell. She may just be confident in her femiminity.

    Guess the breed and help with sexing (pictures included)

    I would just be patient and enjoy them. Time will tell which are hens and which are roosters. You might want to put down some pine shavings or something on top of the newspaper to prevent the slickness of the newsprint from giving them spayed or spraddled legs. Its a condition they sometimes get...

    Legal to shoot feral cats attacking chickens?

    If you have lots of problem cats the answer may be to reinforce your pen, chances are if you eliminate one problem another feral cat would take its place. I have a pen covered on all sides (Including the top) with 1" chicken wire, plus a small electric fence charger (the small ones sized for...

    Combs and Genetics

    Forgive my ignorance but, since I have never seen anything but a rose comb on a Dominique, would I be correct to assume since I got my Dominiques from a hatchery that they should have two genes for rose comb? I agree, Rooster was Wayne's best character ever...

    Combs and Genetics

    I am planning on breeding a sex link next spring. I want a sex link that is a good egg layer, economical feed bill. Im thinking a Brown Leghorn Rooster over some Dominique hens.

    Opinions on tbe Farm Innovators 4200 please

    If you buy one dont trust the thermometer or hygometer. I bought a new farm innovations forced air incubator using a good thermometer temp 98.5 to 100.5 degf on average and 50% RH by the little hygrometer that came with the incubator but I never checked it's accuracy (Rookie Mistake I Know). On...

    Thanks clayb226, My thinking is I have probably removed too much liquid running my humidity low for so long.

    American serama thread!

    I live in NE Oklahoma folks and we have some cold winters from time to time, sub-zero (Heck in the negative teens occasionally) and up to 115deg F some summers for weeks on end. I'm just wondering what kind of winter and summer extremes these little birds can tolerate? What could I do to help...
