    Thanks very much for confirming that my boy is actually a girl. I don't think I need a roo at the moment, thanks though. I have lots of babies that might grow up to be roos, so I'll give them a chance. So sorry to have provided bad information about the bears. I've lived in eastern and...

    We only have bears in the mountains. Eastern and central parts of the state don't have to worry about them. @sbrooks88 - I'm so sorry about your cat. All, I wanted to ask for your thoughts on the sex of this chicken. He was sold to me as a sexed male. He was also sold as a standard...

    They are adorable, Double A! Coop Scoop, is it you that drives the bus on this thread? I remember y'all talking about cars blowing past the school bus. Sadly, it looks like some very young kids got hit in Wilson...

    Injured Hen

    Sorry, Idk about the infection. What I was thinking was that if you put the dyed stuff on her, the other hens might not bother her as much, so you might not need to isolate? Sorry I can't be of more help. Maybe others can chime in. Good luck!!

    Injured Hen

    I'm new to this too, so not much help, but there are a couple different products that include a very dark blue color in them. One is a liquid spray and one is a powder. I have used these on open wounds. In my experience, the dark blue color covers up any blood and prevents the other hens from...

    I am going through the same thing with one of my EEs right now. She has ALWAYS laid in the nest box... until 2 or 3 weeks ago. I have a new hen (also EE) who started laying RIGHT around the same time. For a while, I just thought the original hen's eggs had mysteriously gotten smaller and...

    I have made this mistake several times ... apparently, I'm a slow learner.

    These kids are 13 weeks old. I'm thinking the black/white one is a boy and the brown one a girl. What do you guys think? They are mixed breeds. If I recall correctly from the person I got the eggs from, I think the brown one is EE x wyandotte and the black/white one is maran-ish. Thanks in...

    Yep. I think it will be when my silkie goes broody again. She has chicks now though, so not in the immediate future.

    If anyone is on the fence about this, I highly recommend it. The first class was my first exposure to this at all and I was confident enough afterward that I was able to process one of my own roos a few weeks later with no issues. No more worries about straight run chicks and I think my...

    Man, this is a busy thread. :) I think I am caught up after the weekend. Sbrooks, good luck with your roo. . We lost a pretty young welsummer pullet yesterday mysteriously and our neighbor emailed this morning (after we'd left for work, of course) to let us know he saw the largest fox...

    NOT underneath your deciduous trees!! We have a goldfish pond that was abandoned when we bought the house. I cleaned it out and got it going again, only to learn why it had been abandoned the first time. It's right on the edge of the forest. It's gorgeous when it's working, but it fills...

    Thanks for the tips Beth and biologynerd! Farmraised86, I'll send you a PM. We aren't planning to keep the black one.

    Thanks, guys. Yeah, if I had to bet on it, I'd say they look more pointy than rounded. Thanks, all! :)

    THanks, all!! Beth, I'm trying real hard to tell by the saddle and hackle feathers, but I'm just so new at this that I don't know what 'pointy' looks like. Lol. I've only had chickens for a year and all mine are hens so far. The black ones to me look curved - like our other girls. And...

    Any guesses on the gender of these 2? They're 9-1/2 weeks old. They're basically barnyard mix, but I think the black one is something like silver laced wyandotte x EE. White one is maybe something like columbian wyandotte x cinnamon queen? Thanks in advance!
