I have a rather small pen for them and live in a development so I can't free range them very often. The coop is attached to the pen/run and is about 10x10. All fenced in. I clean it every 6-7 days and have not seen any sign of a hidden nest. I don't have a roo either so chicks would be an...

Hi BYC friends! I am a chicken newbie. I have a 5 1/2 month old (24 weeks to be exact) White Rock in my flock of 6. She began laying about 5 weeks ago. She laid about 4-5 eggs each week for an entire month then last week she stopped. She doesn't appear to be any different physically. She...

I didn't separate him to be cruel- I had to separate him and put him in the garage for 2 days because if I didn't someone was going to call the police on us for disturbing the peace! We found him a wonderful home in the country with a family who has 5 acres with chickens and sheep. I...

Hi BYC Friends! Here are the full body shots! I am fairly certain the 1st photo of the flopy comb Leghorn is a female. I posted 3 pictures of the other which is the one I was looking for input on. Thank you all!

Probably not the best photos but their bodies, tail feathers, neck feathers, size etc. appear to be identical! I can take a whole body **** tomorrow when the sun comes up! Thank you for the input!

Well- the problem is that I thought they were both girls! I should have been more clear. Do you think they could both be girls or did I wind up with another roo?

These were purchased at Meyer Hatchery on April 15 (2 days old). One laid her first egg this week but I am not sure which one. I have noticed over the past 2 weeks that they are looking a little different from one another. I guess it could be normal for 2 leghorn girls to have a slightly...

I had 4 girls all 15 weeks old- 2 Leghorn, 1 White Rock and 1 Buff Orpington. I live in a suburban development on about 3/4 of an acre. I have a coop with a run and also have an 8x8 fenced in pen built around the coop. The 4 girls free range a bit under supervision only and are pretty easy to...

Thanks everyone! My beautiful Cochin roo is going to live on a farm in a nearby suburb! I found an older gentleman who has chickens and roosters and adores them as pets! He is excited to have such a big beautiful bird join his crew! I am so incredibly thankful for the advice and help! This...

I know! I was completely floored!!! We didn't get in until midnight last night and at 6am this is what I woke to find!

Yep. Agree with you both. I have separated him from my 4 girls. Now I need to figure out what to do! He is a total menace and I live in a development in a suburb. I am disappointed with Meyer Hatchery.

Large fowl and no girl : (. Just a lone rooster.

Beautiful 15 week old male Cochin free to a good home!! Located in Akron, OH. I got this bird from Meyer Hatchery in April as a chick. I raised her by hand along with 4 other chickens. I found out today that she is in fact a he. I am so disappointed to have to give him away but I live in a...

Yep- I think that I agree. I totally got a rooster. I am so bummed. I am a backyard chicken farmer and have no experience doing this. I went to Meyer Hatchery because I trusted them and their good reputation. What do I do now?? Can I take it back? Will they exchange it for another female...

My neighbors are going to be so upset!!! I have 5 girls- 15 weeks old. None are laying yet. They were perfect ladies and a week ago before we left for a week beach vacation. My dad took over the feeding while we were gone. This morning I let them out into their pen and they are all of a sudden...

I have 5 girls- 15 weeks old. None are laying yet. They were perfect ladies and a week ago before we left for a week beach vacation. My dad took over the feeding while we were gone. This morning I let them out into their pen and they are all of a sudden very LOUD! One in particular- she is...
