Sorry if my pictures aren't great, but bad lighting. This is a mixed breed and I'm terrible at sexing. What do you think? (Eta: 3 months old)

Sorry if my pictures aren't great, but bad lighting. This is a mixed breed and I'm terrible at sexing. What do you think?

We are having crazy cold here in Northern Wisconsin. I have 5 hens. They have a nice coop, insulated, ventilated. Today was -27 and it stayed 13 in there. They have a heated water dish and have still been laying. But we are supposed to have even colder temps, record-breaking, in the next week or...

We have been waiting months and finally one of our EE laid a beautiful little green egg. We were so excited!

I have 4 hens ages 23 weeks-27ish weeks. None are laying. They are a chocolate orpington (I know she won't lay until later), Coronation Sussex, Easter egger, and fibro ee. The 2 ee have been very vocal lately, but of course I can't tell by the black comb on the fibro girl where she's at. But the...

I've posted this chicken a few times for sexing. It's a mystery to us. No crowing we've heard, but is very dominating and always has been. 3 pea rows, comb was red very early. Is about 17 weeks. Purebred Ameraucana splash.

We have a Coronation Sussex around 17 weeks. I've been told different things by different chicken people. One said that she will be a late layer because of her breed, but another said she will be the first to lay of our little flock (chocolate orpington(will lay quite late), fibro ee's, easter...

This poop was on top of the watering can this morning. We de-wormed yesterday. Is this normal, maybe because of deworming? Thanks!

We are the first in our small town to have a legal chicken coop. We are only allowed 4 hens. Here's our almost finished coop. We have coop and run size restrictions to follow. This is what we ended up with. We love it and so far, our hens do also! The little area on the outside top is a...

Hello again-so I posted this pullet a couple of weeks ago, because the breeder said she could not 100% sex her. Most of you said you thought pullet, so I thought I'd post new pictures and see what you all think now. She is about 12-13 weeks and is kind of a bully. She is very brave and also...

My 12 week old pullets are super picky with the "treats" I try to feed them. Everyone says they will go nuts for watermelon and veggies, etc. I bring them a little plate with cut up goodies such as these on it, and they take one peck and move on, uninterested. The dried mealworms are a little...

This chick is going to a different home, but I'm curious if this looks like cockerel to any of you. It's waddles are turning red already, most of the others are not.

We picked this pullet up a few days ago from the breeder. She mentioned that she was almost certain she was a female, but because there was some red in her comb and some behaviors, she wasn't 100%, and she would refund me if it's a roo (our ordinance permits roosters). She is 10ish weeks old. So...

These two are around 10ish weeks. We picked them up from their breeder today. Please let me know what you think about their sex. There is the white one with beautiful yellow around her eyes and yellow feet and then the darker one.

Of my three 4-week old RIR, one has this long tail. The other two have a short tail. The longer tailed chick seems to sort of bully more often and also is just a bit bigger than the rest. Also, when the 4 others (I have two younger chicks in there also) are roosted, this one stays off to the...

Our 5 chicks are 3 and 4 weeks old (we think-the story lady guessed). Today it's quite hot here, around 88 degrees, and we've noticed they are laying different than usual, aren't as active, very sluggish. They are in a large tote as a brooder, with fresh water, food etc. Is there anything I can...

Hello! So we are extremely new at this. I've read and read, but honestly I think that until you do it, you don't know it. So, we are allowed 4 urban egg-layers. We decided to go with RIR. We purchased 5 in case some didn't make it. Three of them are about 4 weeks old, and two of them are 3 weeks...

Hello all-my name is Tanya. My husband I just recently got our little town to pass an ordinance allowing urban chickens. We are very excited! The ordinance is strict, so we are trying to follow all of the rules...we've already made mistakes. We are only allowed 4 hens, no roosters. We purchased...
