Hello everyone! I recently acquired two female lemon cuckoo orpingtons and one rooster, they are about 4 months old. I do not know much about the variety but I have some questions about barring. From what I understand roosters general carry the double barring gene, which I believe my rooster...

Hey there! I recently just had a pretty terrible bear attack on my chicken coop. The bear killed 15 or so of my birds. I will tell you right now, there is hardly anything you can do to completely protect your coop from bears. They can rip off car doors they can pull apart any wood structure you...

Hey all! Updaaates.. He's doing well so far. Re did the bandage today and wound is starting to heal up a bit. We have him in a bigger crate now and still in the house. Gave him some electrolytes in his water and put apple sauce in his food, but he isn't eating much which is a little...

Got it ripped off by a raccoon. =/

You got it! He made it through the night, I really hope he gets better and better.. Going to try to get some electrolytes in him today and get a clean bandage for him. Thank you. =)

Just trim them with scissors? He's still alive and seems to be breathing alright. Just resting and sleeping. When I re do his bandage tomorrow do I clean it again or just apply neosporin? Thanks a bunch.

Thank you for the tips everyone. We washed the wound out thoroughly with water and a bit of diluted dawn soap. Put neosporin on the wound, there is a bit of bone I believe splintering out of the wound. This is a major cause of concern for me, but he is acting like a trooper through it all. It is...

Here it is..

Hey everyone.. This morning at around 5 AM my coop got ransacked by a raccoon. Two days before this my backyard was attacked by 2 bears, I lost 3 hens and 15 pullets/cockerels I had been raising. My coop doors were destroyed from the bear so I was keeping my birds in the very very sturdy chain...

It was my first time so I had a lot of ups and downs. The eggs didn't rest long enough before I put them in the bator.. And then I put them directly into the turner which I know is a big no no too.. Another thing was I had 15 from one person and 18 from another. When the 18 arrived 4 of them had...

Hello everyone!! Today is day 21 for me. I started out with about 33 eggs and only have about 5 that made it to lock down. This morning when I woke up one of the eggs was pipped, yay!! About an hour later the chick made it out and has been doing good all day. I left it in the incubator as the...

Looks like a hen to me!!

Do you have a photo? You might be able to tell at 5 weeks!

A picture would be very helpful!

The chicken you have in the middle picture looks like a rooster, compare the combs with your other hens and that helps a lot, especially at a young age! I am not sure the breeds you have but since the person you got them from probably has many breeds all mixed up, do they know the color egg that...

Hey everyone! I'm hatching some Ameraucana and FBCM eggs.. Out of 15 Ameraucanas only 4 have made it so far, out of 18 Marans only 2 have made it.. It has definitely been a rough first time incubating. =(( Anyways.. I went to candle the eggs tonight and one of my marans eggs was stuck to the...

Kinda looks like a Jersey Giant to me. Mine had little white splotches while growing out. I'd say pullet as well. =)

They look like pullets so far to me, if you start seeing redness in the comb it might be a cockerel. Good luck!

A lot of people will sell their cockerels on craigslist or even on here in the for sale section. Or even give them away for free to people who want them. You might even have a local poultry auction somewhere near you that you can take them to.
