I have been calling her ginger. She is supposed to be an OEGB. She is too big, but still one of my favorites because I love her coloring.

I need to consolidate pens together before the water starts freezing and as usual I have found myself with more cockerels than I have room for. Backyard Chicken folks get first dibs! None have shown any aggression towards people. This year's bunch is just a really neat bunch of boys. I have...

I got some decent pictures of my 6 week old chicks a couple days ago and finally found time to post. I'm still very novice with the peas so I'm hoping you guys have at least some educated guesses for me. It has been raining for weeks on end here so I won't guarantee they are the cleanest chick...

Discovered I am out of smaller wattage light bulbs(40,60,75) the other day. I use these in a couple of small brooders. I know the little florescents don't put off much heat but I'm wondering how (or if) any of the other bulbs compare to the old incandescents. Sorry if this has been discussed. I...

I have 5 bantam cockerels that would like new homes ASAP. Hatched in May. 2 Old English that have been housed together. Three Sebrights that have been housed together. I do have at least 1 pet quality pullet I would sell cheap if you wanted one to go with a boy. There is also a 2yr old...

I'm pretty new to this whole peafowl thing. I'd like to hear your comments about him. I got both of them at a sale about 3 months ago. He is supposed to be a yearling India Blue. I've done a lot of internet reading and the eyes in his tail are what has me questioning what I was told. The female...

Any one want to help me guess what these day old chicks are? I bought them as hatching eggs to try out some different breeds. Possible breeds are Cochin, Cornish, D'Uccle, Moderns, Old English, Phoenix, Sebright, Serama, Silkie. There were four "extra" eggs that may be cross breeds. #1 Has a...

Well, I'm new here so hopefully I'm doing this right. I've given roosters away on Craigslist and it usually leaves me worried about their well being. Not that I mind if most of them end up in a stew pot but boy some people just don't seem to have any concern for them as animals. These boys are...

Just decided to join after many helpful visits over the last few years. My son talked me into our first 6 chickens 6 years ago. We still have our original Buff Orpington rooster. We now have at least 30 at any given time. He takes several to the fair each year as 4H projects and I took about a...
