I have this rooster and I'm unsure what breed he may be. The red skin around his eyes leads me to think he may be some type of game breed? Any input it welcome!
Hello,
This is my first round of incubating eggs. My eggs are polish bantam crossed with unknown bantam. Last night my egg pipped externally and it was more in the middle of the egg than on the big end. So I thought that I may have somehow cracked it and I sealed it gently back together...
I have a 6 month old Barred Plymouth Rock hen. She has been laying for about a month now. Today I went to feed them and she wasn't too interested in the food and I noticed that she had a dirty vent. It was not clogged, so I wiped it best that I could. She still looks a healthy weight and I am...
Thank you both so much, and that little Easter Egger is so cute. I never knew chickens could have beards! They have all brought me alot of joy, I have never owned any of these breeds before except Plymouth Rock. I do not know what hatchery they came from, my sister got them from a feed store...
