    PICS ADDED*closed, watery eyes, slower growth

    Hello, i have scoured the posts, searched, searched, and searched. i found some very helpful info, and some confusing as well. I know no one here wants to diagnose anything and i would never rely on that, but just seeking opinions. and yes i know there are a wide variety of opinions in such...

    It's crazy windy and rainy out my way in the lower east valley!! I'm so worried for my girls out there, I keep looking out the window with a flashlight to make sure they're ok. I need to see about more protection from the wind and rain, all day though they just stood right in it when there was...

    Do you ever encounter people that don't know where eggs come from?

    A girl i work with says, " I cant believe you're gonna eat your pet's babies!" She is finding it hard to belive that the eggs she eats are exactly the same, and she says its different anyways because they are my pet's unborn babies! I dont have a rooster, which also baffles her as to how they...

    Sorry to burst in off subject.... just wondering if anyone wants a beautiful rooster. He was sold as a RIR but i'm sure he's not pure breed or is production variety. I Can only have hens, he started crowing yesterday. He is a gentle, and fairly tame, gorgeous big boy. He's great with the hens...

    is there such a thing as a silent roo?

    So... guess i jinxed myself. He tried his first pathetic crow this morning at around 6:00 am. Oh well, loved him while he was here... anyone in the phoenix area of arizona want a production red rooster, really pretty and such a nice boy!! Not the best picture but you get the idea.

    Finally! 27 long weeks of waiting!! pics

    I really was starting to think it would never happen! I watched Goldie all morning getting very worked up and turning round and round in the nest. I had to go to work and later got the call that she finally layed our first egg!!!!!!

    is there such a thing as a silent roo?

    I'll keep my fingers crossed... he crows he has to leave. I live in a suburban HOA neighborhood why are the roos always so pretty and so personable, they make you love them!

    is there such a thing as a silent roo?

    I wait and wait to hear that familiar sound... but nothing yet. And as i write this i think, " it's gonna be tomorrow". My roo is so beautiful with full green shimmery tail feathers, shiny sickle feathers and a big ol' spikey comb... but not a peep! He has even "mated" with my hens ( who refuse...

    video of sunbathing/dustbathing

    This is my roo just hanging out in his favorite dust hole. I love roos, but he will have to go as soon as he crows, he's not legal in my neighborhood. I hope the link works... i have no idea how to do this

    your favorite game...roo or hen!! *PICS *PICS

    bout time the roo vote showed up! I myself am leaning towards male... but it doesnt hurt to hope for a female right?! just a pain when you raise them for a while and spend time, only to possibly have to get rid of them. I live in a no-rooster neighborhood. We shall see, only time will tell...

    your favorite game...roo or hen!! *PICS *PICS

    sorry, no idea how old. im guessing around 8-10 weeks maybe? this is the last one from the ever-so-unreliable "hatchery" selling pullets. Little red is its name and she/he is very handle-able and friendly, just has very large and red comb and wattles for being so little. no crowing yet, my...

    so... another one for you folks. Roo or hen? i have a feeling many will see the comb and instantly decide, but can there be hope for a large comb baby girl?

    I fully agree with the above post about arizonanessa! I got some girls from her and couldnt be happier. i would make the drive out there again and im way out in queen creek. the one place out here (that isnt a feed store), was less than wonderful and disappointing. not to be an advertisement...

    when to start layer feed

    thanks everyone, that helps. I figured it was a bit too early for layer. Three of my older hens are about 13 weeks and the other one is totally unknown but i'd guess about 8 weeks. so when the other ones start to lay...the little one will be eating layer pretty early as there isnt really a way...
