So I have a strange situation. I have a Rhode Island Red that crows and has spurs so it's a Rooster Right? Can a Rooster lay an egg? I ask because I have this chicken in isolation in a large dog cage as it has been eating eggs. Then this morning there was an egg in the crate with the chicken...
Does anyone have any idea what this is? We found this young chicken like this, eats & drinks fine, seems healthy otherwise, just has hard time walking with the foot. Possible injury? Not sure what if anything can be done. Don't want it to suffer tho. Thanks for your help
I think it's probably just the light, his parents are both Blue Americauna and there are no other breeds in the coop, unless the hatchery sent me Franken-chickens
Hi Y'all,
I need some help. One if my small flocks are not laying at all. There are 3 hens, one rooster all less then a year old. They have their own enclosed yard where they free range throughout the day. Their coop is spacious for the size of the flock. They have choice oyster shells, water...
I'm hoping for a little help. I have 17 hens of various breeds most are brown except for my 2 brown leghorns. Over the past week to ten days I have not been getting white eggs. Is this natural? Do chickens take periods of time off where they don't lay? All my girls are 7+ months old and have...
Could the one's you've ID'd as barred rocks be Dominique's? The black one should be an Australope - hopefully? Lol this is my 1st flock. I had ordered 30 of various breeds, however 13 died during shipping so now I'm trying to figure out who's who!
Well the Red didn't make it. She fought hard right up to the end,but whatever was wrong with her it was too much for her. So at this point, I have a flock of 17 out of the 31 originally sent (ordered 30 & they sent 1 extra). The remainder seem to be doing well -they are beginning to get their...
Lost a White Rock last night,I don't understand what happened. She seemed fine yesterday but when I checked on them this morning she was dead and a Rhode Island Red is injured. I don't know if she has a broken wing or something else is going on, she cannot stand up and if I set her down she...
So after doing my research, I decided to order from MPC because I could mix & match and I could get the different varieties I was looking for. I ordered thirty yes 30 chicks. If you're going to do something - hey go big! We anxiously awaited the arrival, which came earlier this week. They...
