    Rooster not using one leg

    He hatched this spring, so he's not very old at all. And it has been at least a month since I noticed his hopping. The last time I got any birds was in the summer, not recently at all and haven't noticed anything else out of the ordinary, other than a couple of my chickens were sneezing so I put...

    Rooster not using one leg

    I have a flock of about 18 chickens, and two of them are roosters. My favourite rooster in the past month or so has developed a strange limp. At first he just was favouring one leg, then it started getting a little bit more severe, and now he will hop around on the one leg, and when the other...

    Is this Ameraucana rooster purebred?

    Awesome!! I thought he was purebred but the owners weren't 100% sure Now a follow up question.. I thought lavender birds were more of a diluted blue colour? He definitely has more of a brown hue than I've seen in pictures of lavender birds..

    Is this Ameraucana rooster purebred?

    Picked this guy up and wondering if he is a purebred? He doesn't seem to fit any of the standard Ameraucana colours that I've seen.. He sure is handsome although he has a terrible sounding crow

    How's long does it take a new rooster to breed a flock?

    Well I put eggs in 2 weeks ago, right after asking this question.. 16/17 will be hatching next week, so I'm pretty sure my rooster knows what he's doing and didn't waste much time after he got home

    How's long does it take a new rooster to breed a flock?

    Ridgerunner I would love to know which egg comes from each hen, but don't really have any practical way to tell. 2 more eggs have been laid since this morning, one with a rubbery shell and a normal one. The rubbery one is the first "weird" egg my chickens have ever laid, their eggs have been...

    How's long does it take a new rooster to breed a flock?

    My hens are all just under a year old, and have been laying since the fall. So they don't really know what they're doing either. I'm not planning on selling the eggs or anything.. just wanted to wait till they are up to a higher fertility level before sticking them in the incubator. He's...

    How's long does it take a new rooster to breed a flock?

    Thanks for the reply! The guy who gave him to me said that he's around 10 months old. He's gotta be doing something right since one of the two eggs was already fertilized this morning, but i think I'll follow your advice and give him some time to get the hang of things so I'm not wasting eggs in...

    How's long does it take a new rooster to breed a flock?

    Hi guys, I just got a new rooster on Thursday evening, and put him in with my flock of 5 hens. He seems to have settled in already, and although I haven't seen him breed any of the ladies, I cracked 2 eggs for breakfast this morning and 1 of them was fertilized. I want to start collecting to...

    Silkie chick & colour question

    My Silkie hens have finally started hatching some of their eggs! I have 2 hens and a rooster, all are partridge coloured. Yesterday I found this little guy under the hen, and is it possible I got a white bird from 2 partridge parents? I'm new to breeding chickens and want to get a better...
