I ordered too many chicks this spring. I have an extra 10-20 chicks that need to go to someone that will love them. They are RIR, Leghorn and Easter Eggers. They were ordered sexed as pullets but I'm pretty sure one of the leghorns is a roo. You don't have to take him unless you want him.

I guess Creme Legbars are somewhat rare so if anyone can pick it up it is theirs. He's a good chicken. About a year and half old. Healthy. Free ranged. Very protective of the flock. He's a very popular with the ladies and will give you many chicks. He attacked my wife and she wants him gone so...

Hi, Mama has had enough. She's not taking care of her three day old chicks. I don't want to set up a broader in the house if I don't have to. Will these things die at night if the lows get down to the upper 40's? What if I stick one of the chemical hand warmer things in box with them? I don't...

This little guy is bent on world domination. Should call my new evil overlord Mr. or Ma'am?

Any idea what is going on here? The growth is hard and does not seem to cause any discomfort when pushed on. This rooster fought off a bobcat and got beat up in the process. This growth showed up a few days after. It does not seem to be getting bigger or smaller. The black stuff might be asphalt...

Hello, I received a white chick with green legs as a fill in. Any idea what it is?

Hello everyone! Spring must be here because my chicks arrived today. Of coarse they are all mixed up and I can't tell my Cochins from my Faverolles. Both are solid yellow and feather legged. Any advice? Also I have 2 Olive Eggerrs and 2 Easter Eggers. Any way to tell them apart even after...

Can you help me identify the sex of this bird?

Hello, I have 4, one month old chicks and last night I noticed one or more of them have blood in their stool. I read trough the poop pics and it sure looks like they have cocci. Corid is not available at my local feed and seed and the guy there said it would require a prescription in California...

Sorry. I don't have a lot more time to read through the threads and I am sure this has been answered before. I admit I'm pretty new to this and did this on a whim without doing much research. I have 13 Japanese quail in a 2x8 enclosure 12 inches high. I hatched 15 chicks from 23 eggs in a...

This showed up in my yard tonight. It makes coo coo noises. Looks a little like a chicken but the beak is not very chicken like. It scratches for food like a chicken does. Maybe a peahen? It is very friendly whatever it is.

Hello, A friend of mine gave me some eggs and it looks like they are hatching. Now I need a place to put them. I would like to free range them and give them a place to come back to at night. My biggest problem is my schedule. I work odd hours and cannot be home every night at sunset to lock them...

Hi, I ordered a straight run "Rainbow" mix of 25 this spring and they are growing up. Any idea what I have here? Black and yellow. White and grey Only one of these white and grey models. Leghorns? Hard to see but one has some grey wing feathers.When two chicks get up in each others...

I was going to plow a field and plant a mix of seeds from the bulk section of the feed store. Rye, clover, peas, wheat. Whatever else is cheap. I was going to mix them all up and plant them together a let the chickens in after a couple months. But then I thought I have a field of wild carrot...

Hi, Newbie. I have twenty four 2 week old first run chicks. I bought a Rainbow mix from an online place. It looks like I have some RIR, Leghorn, Americana couple others. How do you deal with the roosters? My preference would be to have them all grow up to a certain size at the same time and...

Is the Sriracha rooster a particular breed or just a generic rooster? Big bushy tail feathers. Two little bib things under it's throat. Clean legs. I think it is just a poorly drawn rooster. http://tinyurl.com/c6g8ssd I know silly question but .... Chris B.

Sorry, I'm not really asking that. I just want the guy to get his ten cents. What I really want to know is... In the back of the aviary you can see a roosting box for chickens. I want to put another one on the outside left wall for quail. It will be about 2'x2'x8' and about 3' off the...

I built my coop over the last few weekends. (I waited until I finished to ask for advice. That's just how I am.) Anyone have any suggestions? My biggest concern is I'm not sure it is strong enough to hold a nursery of racoons. How many racoons are there in a group? The roof will hold a few...

Hi, My name is Chris Brown. (Why should I change my name he is the one that sucks. (That's an Office Space reference) (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? This is my first attempt at raising chicken on my own. My parents had chickens and the chicken chores fell...
