Wow, glad I'm not crazy! I get the ol' "insect eggs" from time to time too...after I wash the shell, they scrape off like a fine dust, no harm no foul. I freaked the first time! Came on to validate my sanity, thank you to those who contributed pictures! To the post above me: I have gotten the...

Yeah, except he's not so nice, to me atleast..my hisband can still get him..but he's so **** HANDSOME that I feel guilty culling him. Any thoughts on a new place??

mmm...right now I'm dealing w/ the 'teen years' of my Speckeld Sussex rooster, who was one of four we ended up with. The other three we rehomed w/ no issue, and they are sweet as pie and having a great time. The 4th we kept b/c he was so sociable and cuddly with us, had a special coo when we...
It's getting to the point that my hubs is ready to eat him...and we don't want that! Desperately seeking a home for my 20 week old Speckled Sussex Rooster, hand raised, very handsome, would be great for 4H or just general coop patrol. He's 5 pounds now, and will prob get to 7. We cannot keep him...
Hello Hudosn Valley, I miss you! I'm a graduate of the CIA in Hyde Park, and gosh how I miss the area!! So, in alterior motive to come back and visit (!), I also am looking for a home for my 21 week old Speckeld Sussex rooster, who is hitiing sexual maturity and is too much for our small flock...
Hi all! I know you are out there, probably covertly nursing your flocks despite your neighbors ;)
I need a farm home for my Speckeld Sussexcrooster. He's 20 weeks old and the sexual maturity is getting the best of him, and we simply can't have a rooster here in our neighborhood. We hand-raised...
HI all...I am in southern NJ, Burlington County. OUr chicks grew into (unfortunately) two hens and 4 roosters out of 6 (!). Three of the boys got a great farm home, and we tried keeping the 4th, who was quite cuddly, as a house rooster. Unfortunately, it is not working out for us; he needs a...
having the same issue with my one silkie, been in the nest box for a few days now cooing and puffed. My concern is, unless I bring her out to forage, she won't eat food in front of her! Worried...adopted her so not sure her age, although she's been productive in eggs, and I feel like she's a bit...
Hi, I am posting from my wife's profile. So any help on this would be great. We had an ant problem in the house so last week I sprayed some ortho home defense around some of the doors. Well that stuff pretty much kills all bugs that try to enter the house. My boy Mike, a chicken, went to the...
So, I was blessed to find a great farm home for my three (!) rooster babies, and in exchange they gave me three hens, two silkies and a third whom I do not know. She's got to be at least 7 pounds, lays brown, huge eggs, and is an all-around "classic" chicken in look and voice. Any ideas as to...
Ugh, we have one nieghbor a couple doors down like that..I sympathize being the only one in the neighborhood w/ chickens. Someone a couple streets over def. had birds a few years back, but we didn't know who or were able to contact them/make friends...
Anyway so this neighbor is the only one who...
So, this is my first forum posting, officially, as a BYC member. We have six chicks, now 9 weeks old, and unfortunately, FOUR of them turned out to be roiosters, whom we cannot keep, and whom I kinda wanted to process for eating. NOw, we are an animal-loving family, we have lots of pets, and...
