    Rooster & hen?

    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...

    Black foot?

    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

    Hens or Roos?

    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

    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...

    Necropsy results, is not coryza or CRD--parasites are rampant!!!

    How old should the chickens be before you worm them? Or can you worm them at any age?

    Need help with identifications,

    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...
