Well, I was unceremoniously served a summons for a hearing concerning my chicken flock of 5 hens and 1 rooster which I had in Haines City Fl. city limits for 2 years up until the point of the summons. The code enforcer didn't even bother to give me a preliminary notice/post telling me I was in...

My diamond dove's beak has recently began growing out curved at the very tips, bottom one way and top the other.He is over 3 years old and never had a problem with this until the last 2 months. He won't touch the cuttle fish bone that has been strapped to the side of his cage since I...

There is a stray hen running around at my husbands work place and he is thinking of trying to catch it to add to our flock. From his description and a quick search online it looks like she may be an OEG large fowl, not bantam. I will be out tomorrow to get pics of her to post so someone can...

Hello all, Friends of mine just traded their 2 roosters for these 2 lovely ladies. They aren't sure what breed they are. I was leaning New Hampshire on the darker one and Red Star/Production Red on the lighter one.But they also have some characteristics I'm not sure occur in either of...

I am wondering if you can help me identify whether this is a pullet or a rooster. He/she is 2 and a half months old bought from the feed store who sells chicks from Ideal. He/she has a black, brown and white feather pattern with brown flecking on the back and sides. The legs are quite thick...

Here is a picture of my 2 New Hampshire pullets. They are about 3 and and a half months old. The darker one seems to have the right coloring for one but what do you think of the lighter colored one? Never mind the black one in the background. He's a Crevecoeur rooster.

Well, I have 2 Crevies which are about 3 and a half to 4 months old. 1 pullet and 1 roo. They are from Ideal. So far the roo is displaying all the characteristics of a good Crevie but I can't say he will remain that way since he is still growing so isn't full size or developing colored earlobes...

I have a Crevecoeur pullet and a rooster both from the Ideal Hatchery. Does anyone know if Ideal breeds their Crevs. from recognized American Poultry Association stock? I am asking this because I don't know if I can list my pair as Heritage stock or not. Hopefully someone can answer my question...

Just joined a few weeks ago and just found this forum today. I am very glad to have found Back Yard Chickens as I have been a chicken owner only a month or so. This sight has great info and I look forward to reading it every day. I have 2 Easter Eggers, 2 New Hampshires and 2 black Polish or...

Well, I live in a town that has a" no chickens within city limits" ordinance, but there are a lot of people in town that have chickens. I see them running unpenned all over town and some flocks penned up in runs and can hear roosters crowing most mornings when I have my windows open. I looked up...

I have 2 6-7 week old chicks. The feed store person said they were Black Giants but they grew crests/tassels on thier heads about 3 or so weeks ago which suprised the heck out of me. They also have no combs to speak of that I can see but it's difficult to get a close look at them because they...
