Do roosters sing the happy hen alls right with the world song?
I've got a 6 month old that I would swear is a cockeral and I've heard him sing the Happy Hen Song recently. I planned on putting him in the freezed, but not if he is a hen. He is a frizzled Cuckoo Maran/Barred Rock cross so it is...
My 7 month old Olive Egger just started laying last month. She layed a gorgeous dark green egg then a few days later laid another one. She hasn't laid since! What's the problem? Do I just need to have patience?
She is 1/2 Black Australorp (daddy) and 1/2 EE (mom).
I recently bought these Blue OEGBs and was wondering if they breed true or do they come in blue, black, and splash? There was a black roo in with them so I bought him too just in case.
I recieved this Frizzled Cuckoo Maran as a pullet, but the older she gets the more rooish she looks, thick legs, large body, mean to the other chicks, and even has a deep voice. Her frizzly feathers make it hard for me to see if she has pointy saddle feathers or sickle feathers. If she would...
I raised this pullet from a hatchling and was told she was a Black Australorp. She is now 6 months old and just doesn't look like I thought an Australorp should at this age. She doesn't hardly have a comb at all, will it grow when she is ready to lay? Her comb isn't very red so I am assuming she...
My Sizzle hens hatched out several chicks by my Buff Orpington roo.
They are so cute!
Shorty with his half brother in the back.
Speckles (pullet I think).
Frizzles
I bought several Black Australorp crossed chicks this spring, this is the only one that survived my dog attacking them. The mom is a Buff Orpington.
As a youngster she wasn't that impressive.
But as a point of lay pullet she is gorgeous!
So I have a Buff Orpington Roo and used my niece's Black...
I have 3 pullets that are 7 months old and are starting to lay a medium size brown egg. 2 red, 1 black. Dad is a red Cochin Bantam and the mothers are Sexlink. I want $5 each for them, pick up only.
Tubby is a Silkie mix, about 4 months old. I think it is a pullet but would like confirmation.
She/he is so different from her/his brothers and sisters. She/he is the same color,etc... but is two times as big, and built like a tank.
two months old
now at 4 months old
I didn't keep any of...
My Sizzle bantam hen hatched 8 Sizzle/Buff Orpington chicks a couple of days ago. At the same time she was hatching the eggs in my incubator were hatching (Buff Orpington/Barnyard mix hens) so I stuck 8 wet just hatched babies under her with her own hatchlings. That is 16 chicks under her.
Now...
I finally have 3 broody hens, how do I move them to a private box for hatching their eggs?
One has been setting for a couple of weeks in the hen house and every time I try to move her she comes off the nest and throws a fit wanting to go back to the hen house.
I put golf balls under her so she...
I bought this pullet as a hatchling along with some others. Their daddy is a Black Australorp, by the feathered feet on three of them I knew their mom was the Brahma hen. There were also Barred Rock, Americauna, Buff Orpington, Gold and Silver Wyandottes, and a Black Australorp hen in the flock...
Does anyone have vintage embroidery patterns to share? I would love Crinoline Ladies or Colonial Ladies. I want to make some quilt blocks for a little girls quilt.
I was given this hen and told she was a Delaware, but she doesn't look like the Delawares in the pictures, so is she a crossbred or some other breed?
I also was given her companion, which I was told is a Jersy Red, is this a breed?
I have several Partridge Silkie mix chicks for sale, $2 each, pick up only. They are about 2 months old, straight run. I can't tell what sex they are. I live near Grants Pass, OR
I bought these 3 Sultans as pullets. How can I tell if they are really pullets or if the man selling them was wrong and they are little roosters?
And are they really Sultans?
