Put a light inside and turn it on. The light will draw them into the coop.

A catch all name is bantam chickens. Many breeds fall into this class.

These birds are mostly show types, but some have their qualities to them. I have had the Polish, only because wife wanted them. I found them to be dumber than a box of rocks and did not make it to their first year (never wanted to go into coop and lost due to predators). If you are looking for...

What I have heard and read on the Cinnamon Queen (CQ) is that they are in the 320+ class of layer. I think that the Hy-line is the only breed that will out produce the CQ. I do not think that they have a short life span, just a shortened production period, because of the high production rate. I...

Poultry Pox. I have delt with it in the past. Dry type is not really lethal, but the wet/ respiratory infection usually is. So far, it looks like you have the dry type. Time is the only healer.

Foxes would have carried it off after the kill.An owl would need flying room for the the kill, so unless they could fly in, cross them off. Rats take chunks out of their legs and maybe back. Racoons tend to eat from the *** in. So, I would have a difficult time identifying the culprit, with the...

From what I have seen of my birds, I vd say pullet.

For the lack of waddles on #1, yeah I'd go with a pullet for now #2 and all in #3, sharpen the axe up, because you're going to be having a chicken fry in a few months.

I think I have one RR hen from a rescue last year. I will say that she is quite friendly. She allows me to pet her while she is eating. She doesn't "growl" while in the nest. And she was one of my first layers. I was just looking for a more uncommon bird, as a mystery bird from TSC's suppliers...

Honestly, Ayam Cermani, I doubt, but the more common Svart Hona is not beyond reason. The best test is black skin, vent, legs, and inside of the mouth.

LOL. I agree with you there. But, I have seen and raised the ayam cermani. It looks a lot like them, plus they are not big birds. Remember, that TSC doesn't raise their birds. They have three suppliers, that I know and have promised not to disclose. Last year, I bought some of TSC's birds. I...

Looks like a svart hona or an Ayam Cermani.

Took me a while to figure them out.

I just went through the same thing with my chicks. They are Red Rangers.
