Hi again, thanks for all the replies! Yes she/he is 8 weeks old and no eggs from any of my lot yet. Is it normal that after a few days of my crowing boys being outside they've stopped crowing almost completely? Are they happy or am I doing something wrong?

Anyone here still active who can help sex my quail?

Hello everyone, I have eight chickens. I had nine but my chick who was tiny and 16 weeks had a leg that was starting to splay and had awful curled toes on the other one. She was a light sussex/welsummer. We had to put her out of her misery and we were all upset. But I replaced her with a sussex...

Sorry that I am not quoting but my welsummer/rir is also broody. She hasnt snapped out of it yet though. It been two months. She is also going through an early moult so she is giving us no eggs. My welsummer/Sussex 6 week old chick has got curls toes and walks on the end of her leg. (bad...

I think a smokey egg is the type of egg we are talking about?

I bought mine at p.o.l and she was 24 weeks. She seems pretty hardy yet she been broody for the past month, she is also going throuh the moult so is not laying currently. I still can't believe that when my father held her upside down that she laid an egg! Of course I wasn't happy, but he really...

I like that theory. :)

Mine are laid by one hen. As I have a mixture of girls to tell easily who is laying and who isn't (egg colour). My maran is the tamest one in the group. She loves the greens and eats good quality layers feed, she also has access to lots of oyster shell. I always find a chalky eggs next to the...

Mine is a pullet that started laying a month ago! Maybe it is something that happens when they start laying? Some weird maran irregularity?

My welsummer/rir has gone broody. lol.

I love silkies but I don't have a rooster...

I do not know how to determine what type of hen I have, I think it is a copper black maran. It has a copper neck and its feathers shine from black to blue in the sun. But her eggs are mid brown and this eggs colour is completely different ,I have had a few chalky shell from her this always...

My welsummer/rir has gone broody and is one mean bird. She pecks anything that comes near. She is pecking my poor copper blue marran's comb. Making her bleed, so I have had to isolate my maran in another coop and run.

True! They chicks are growing fast. I will be annoyed around the twelve week area as they wont be so cute and won't lay eggs...

I have 6 chickens getting two more chicks soon. 4 are P.O.L and 2 of them are going through the moult so they are around a year old. I have two two week old chicks. I no have two coops so the chicks when grow up will live in one coop and the older ones in another. I want to know at what age will...

Some say to go with the plastic, china or wood eggs. So i do agree with messipaw. Some people believe if you lock them in their coop til midday they will learn to lay there. Though you may end up with some broken eggs to start or buy a free ranging net, omlet offer them even though they are...

I have four hens: Rhode island red: She is named after a friend because my RIR lays a blue egg (some stray Araucana gene) and my friend is a bit unexpected! Her name is Sarah. Bluebell? Or Copper black Maran?: This one eats a lot of greenery and other food so we named her Henrietta. So if...

At the moment they are in a home made brooder, its just two chicks but they will outgrow their brooder. Will they be okay without a lamp at 4 weeks in a coop with a run?
