    Ameraucana Hen or Roo??

    Thanks everyone! Y'all just confirmed what I was thinking. I was just hoping maybe I was wrong. I guess he'll just become chicken dinner soon. I already have one wonderful rooster for my 10 ladies.

    Ameraucana Hen or Roo??

    About 18 weeks ago, I purchased 4 Ameraucana chicks....3 out of the 4 have turned out to be roos. Well...this little guy (or gal) has yet to crow, so it has me wondering if it's not a girl.... It does make noise that sound more like a duck or a dinosaur, but no crowing. All the others were...

    My Mystery Chicken

    Thank y'all! Not that I mind a rooster (it makes the best chicken dinner ever!), but it would be nice to only have to cull one instead of two.

    My Mystery Chicken

    Okay....I thought this little baby was a Black-Sex Link roo, but now that it's 7 or 8 weeks old with a comb no larger than my females, I'm starting to question it......What kind do y'all think it is??? Is it even a roo??? I was thinking it could be a Cuckoo Maran....just don't know....

    Easter Egger's beard feathers being plucked

    I guess I will just have to come to terms with it, LOL. Bertha (the plucker) doesn't seem to be hurting Zita (the pluckee) which is good. I'll just continue to keep an eye on them. Thanks!

    Easter Egger's beard feathers being plucked

    I have a poor chicken that is getting her beard feathers plucked only after she drinks water. I have put the culprit in isolation, but I am not sure why it's happening. Plus my EE just sits there letting it happen! I've read about it being from boredom, but they free range all day. So I am not...

    3 Days of Tylan and still sneezing

    I did get her from a breeder. After a long afternoon, I saw all of her symptoms return that were once gone. Since she was relapsing so rapidly, we decided to put her down. Hated to do it, but when Tylan wasn't kicking it what else was I to do? I couldn't let the poor thing continue to suffer...

    3 Days of Tylan and still sneezing

    I bought a 6 week old Buff Orpington that turns out is having some respiratory issues. She had been sneezing with a runny nose and not interested in eating or drinking. After giving 1/10 cc of Tylan 50 (this was suggested by the vet), she showed signs of improving over 2 days. Even on day 3 all...

    Sexing Speckled Sussex

    Thanks! I was thinking that it was a pullet, but I just needed to be reassured. After the last time of it being sexed wrong, I'm not too trusting these days.

    Need Help Sexing 2 Easter Eggers!

    First of all let me just say I'm new to the world of backyard chickens. I wasn't planning on getting chickens until next year, but a lady was getting rid of her chickens due to various circumstances. I picked up 3 pullet sex links...so I thought. After much research, I found out that these guys...
