2/10 well 2/5 really because five of them haven’t started laying.

After 6+ years of owning chickens I have never had a nice rooster. I tried multiple times to have a rooster in my flock but it never seemed to work out for a couple of reasons. My first rooster was very nice to his flock and never wished to hurt them. However, he hated us and would attack you as...

I have very unfortunate news. Just this afternoon a hawk came by and snatched her two chicks and no one else. Mother hen is distraught and and won’t stop cackling and I feel for her loss but I don’t know if there is anything I can do for her.

Here’s an update: I went to the local feed store and picked up some chicks. There was one issue though, the two pairs of chicks were two different ages one pair being slightly older Easter eggers and the other pair being a younger unknown breed of chicks. Anyway I decided I shouldn’t give my...

I’ve had several roosters in the past, what do you wanna know?

New subject, how many breeds of chickens do you guys have?

Looks to me like a pullet

I think I have decided to go ahead and get some chicks for her as I rather move the process along and not wait any longer. I will get the chicks this Thursday when some rain is supposed to come in and bring the temperature down and we’ll so how it goes from there.

The only reason I don’t do this is I just don’t want her to have to sit for another 3 weeks although if it needs to happen I will.

So I’ve had a broody chicken for months and have tried to break her broodiness over and over but she just doesn’t give up. I don’t have a rooster so she hasn’t been able to hatch any chicks so at this point I’ve considered buying her some chicks to raise as her own. The only issue I face is the...

So I have a chicken that has a very swollen butt, almost as if her organs all fell into her butt. She walks around like a penguin so I thought she was eggbound so we brought her in and put her in a little bath and massaged her for 20 min we felt inside and outside her but we could never find and...

Well you actually have no leghorns they’re all Anconas and all female. This is the first time I’ve seen another person with Ancona chickens in this site besides me so that’s cool. Edit: Leghorns are all white unless you had specified another color of leghorn such as a brown leghorn. No leghorns...

Wow they look a lot more different than mine.

I was wondering how much my silkie roosters are worth one is all black the other one seems to be buff colored. I didn’t know if they were worth nothing or if they were about ten bucks or more. Please tell me if you have any ideas.

Here they are now

Mine are mostly black and white but they have a few specks of brown in their feathers.

I found mine at a tractor supply chicken swap.

I wasn’t originally part of this thread but I just read through it all I’m glad you got chickens. When did they start to lay?
