I contacted the hatchery and they said your right about the brahma. As for the white one they said it could be an americana or a white rock. Guess I will have to wait a bit longer to find out for sure. thanks for your help.

The white one is one I had no idea on.The one with feathers I thought was an americanaI got 2 like this one which should be my gold wynadottesThis one is the one I got later since they only had one americanas they shorted me so I got it later so it should be my americana but it doesn't have...

I ordered 5 baby chicks and I'm not sure what I got. I ordered 2 americanas, 2 wynadottes, and one partridge plymouth rock. I got one americana late so I know what she is. Now I have 2 that look like gold wynadottes and one that is brown with feathers on it's feet. Now the real stumper is I...

Having never had a chicken molt I'm going to say no she is not. She has all her feathers and looks plump and happy. She is a Australorp and the chicken who is still laying is the Barred.

I have 2 chickens who have been laying since the end of june. The were born feb 15th and have been laying since july 27th pretty regularly. Little over a week and a half one of them stopped laying. I thought after 3 days maybe she was laying in the yard so I penned them up in their coop for 3...

Thanks for all the responses, they all helped us feel better about having more time to find a home for our roo. Hensonly I think you bring up so good points and I like your explanation. Thanks alot.

We have 2 layers that are laying eggs now and are 6 months old. We have 4 other chickens that are 12 weeks old and one of them we have wondered if it was a rooster. This morning one of the chickens is starting to do a weak crow but it was a crow. I need to find someone who will take the roo...

I got my first egg at 2:30 then nothing the next day. On third day I got one at 3 pm and nothing on the 4th day. I'm thinking tomorrow I should get one around 2:30. I hope she starts laying everyday.

So I gave them oyster shell but no egg today so I'm wondering if it was just a fluke egg or should I expect the egg laying to start again tomorrow.

I have a chicken tractor that has the run built under the coop. In the coop is their roosting area. They stay in the run till about 11 and then I let them out and they run all over our yard(2 acres). Today one of the chickens was acting really funny and actually ran back to the run and even...

Thanks for all the information. I will have to try the baby rice cereal to kill other ant hills. We don't have fire ants here in northern minnesota but I do know those type and I know how they can be very aggressive. I just wasn't sure how well the chickens feet would ward off any ants. It's...

I had a few ant hills in our yard so I put some ant bait on both of them in order to what I thought was protecting the chickens. I was a afraid that my chickens would wander into them and get hurt. Well later this week 3 new ant hills showed up and I just happen to see one of the chickens...

My chicken tractor will house 7 chickens. It is heavy but I'm sure with my riding lawnmower or 4 wheeler I should be able to move it. I wanted a tractor cause I want to be able to let my chickens free range. It's not done yet but here is what it looks like right now.

You're off to a good start; however... Put your roost 2x4's higher and both on the same level. Put a removable poop catch board or plastic tray under the roosts. The roosts must be higher than the nest boxes. You need windows for air circulation during the summer. Heat kills chickens; they...

My cousin and I our building a Chicken tractor with no real plans. We had some ideas and we just started working on it. We finished the hen house and soon will be working on the run. We have a few things to add to the hen house but for now it will work better then the large brooder in the...

Thanks for looking. I hope they are pullets and the light coloring is just due to the flash on the camera.

I'm new to this and this is my first batch of chickens and I was wondering if anyone thinks either of these chicks are roosters. I think maybe the rock but I not sure what to look for. The chickens are 9 weeks old if that helps any.

That is an amazing coop. I love how you matched the colors to the house.

Thanks for all the information. I will keep watching and keeping track of their water level.

Love that picture of your chickens walking in the snow.
