Thank you. your probably right. It's feathers look like they are frizzled a little.

So I got eggs off ebay. Some bantam cochins and some silkies. 8 hatched out. 1 has 5 toe's but looks nothing like a silkie. Any guesses as to what breed it may be. Cochins don't have 5 toes.

I'm going to guess hen

That looks a lot like what he has. Couldn't get him to hold still long enough for a good shot. Hes pretty aggressive thing. Thank you.

Does anyone know what's causing this?

Thank you so much. You've been very helpful.

I have a friend that has a hen about 1 year old. When it sits down it puts her head straight back with the back of her head resting on her back with her beak literally pointing straight up and closes her eyes. It doesn't really want to walk but when it does it's not normal. Any one have any...

WANTED It's getting a little late in the year but I would like to buy some blue laced cochin hatching eggs if any one out there have any.

Yep sounds exactly like mine, thanx for posting.

Makes sense, thanx

I have had good luck waiting until it was well after dark and the chickens have been on the roost for a while and putting the new chickens on the roosts with the others. Then in the morning they don't seem so agressive towards them. Just a suggestion, not guaranteed to work.

Does any one else out there have a mixed flock that segregate themselves from the other breed of chickens? I have 4 R I's, 2 silverlaced Wyondottes and 2 EE's. They free range all day, the 4 RI's are always together, the Wyondottes are always together as are the EE's. I find this strange since...

Hmmm....... Did not know the roosts should be higher than the nest boxes. They are about the same height. I'll have to figure out a way to re-position them as this is a prefab coop.

nice job, looks great!

Mine do the same thing, 8 chickens crammed in 3 net boxes and sitting on each other. I cut a piece of plywood and laid it over the top of the nest boxes until they get the hang of roosting on the roost bars. The have 9 feet of roost they can use.

Ya all of mine are roosting in 3 nest boxes. some on top of each other. They are about 20 weeks old. There are 3 - 3 foot long roost bars for them to roost on. They are soiling the nest boxes terribly so I guess I will have to cover the nest boxes until they get idea of using the roosts.

Thank you so very much for POW of my Egger hen. What an honor.
