    Roosters?

    I don't mind having roosters. We live on 80 acres & no worries about sound but i don't want the Silver Phoenix hurt. Will definitely be keeping an eye on them.

    Roosters?

    Thanks. I have been thinking that for several weeks. In our last flock we had 2 roosters and they got along well. Im worried about the size difference with these 2 though. Considering a 2nd coop & run for Phoenix & some of my smaller hens.

    Hen or rooster?

    Silver Laced Wyandotte pullet is my guess

    Roosters?

    Picture 1: Silver Phoenix (this was our mystery chick) Picture 2: Silver Laced Wyandotte (we ordered all pullets but this one is getting more white feathers and much larger & redder comb) Both 9 weeks old. I'm thinking they're both roosters.

    10-11 week old Wyandotte gender?

    Agree. Pullet.

    Help or not?

    Thanks for the replies. I did separate Blue from the flock and this is her now. At first her leg just dangled. Then it seemed to get better but her toes were curled into a ball. Now toes are flat and she is flying like she was before. I'm giving her a full week of rest time before putting her in...

    Help or not?

    She tried to perch on the waterer & caught her leg & hung there by it. Is there anything I can do?

    Mystery Chick Breed

    Yes my Single Comb Brown Leghorns are way bigger than this chick is.

    Mystery Chick Breed

    That's what I was thinking to do also. A separate coop with his own little hens. My husband is going to hate me. The number of outbuildings keeps growing. Chicken coop, 2nd chicken coop, rabbit hutch shed, goat shed. And all with appropriate runs. We have 80 acres. I want like 10. That's not too...

    Mystery Chick Breed

    And yes I also agree that mystery chicks are usually male.

    Mystery Chick Breed

    Ok now that was my first guess. Silver Phoenix Rooster and that's what my son is hoping for. I wasn't sure if coloring matched as a chick though. 🤔

    Bantam

    Mystery Chick Breed

    This is a mystery chick from McMurray Hatchery. It is half the size of the RIR, Wyandottes, Leghorns & Orpington. I'm guessing Old English Game Bantam. Thoughts?

    Is it okay to install a fan in a chicken coop?

    We have 2 fans installed up near the eaves of our coop. One is directed into the coop & the other out. It keeps the air circulating all the time but are above the roosts so it's not creating a draft directly on the birds.

    Is this bad?

    Yesterday he wasn't doing anything but laying off to the side. Wouldn't get up to eat or drink. I put his beak in water and he just sat there unless I put a drop right in. Today behavior is normal. Until yesterday he didn't seem bothered by the others being bigger but they have grown a lot this...
