I’d like to get some opinions!

Thanks but I’m not looking to start a rooster flock. Can’t afford that. Need to rehome this guy as hes not good with little kids and theres a lot of those running around here

Rescued what I blieve to be a year old Austrolorp roo, I’ve already got too many roos in the flock to keep him. Very healthy and gets along well with the whole flock, not great with very small children though. Other than that he’s great. Lemme know if anyones interested

Thanks so much!

I think you’re right! That definitely rings a bell. I have some other hens that look rather similar but without the tufts of feathers on their heads. Could those be saphires too ya think?

I have a very large mix breed flock. I’ll try to name off as many as I can remember. HENS Buff Orpington Rhode Island Red New Hampshire Red Barred Rock Cuckoo Marans Easter Egger Olive Egger Ameracauna Golden Laced Wyandotte Buff Brahma Austrolorp Sapphire gem Silkie Jersey Giant -some breeds...

I hatched some mixed breed chicks from my own flock and some of them came put very cool! Theres a couple that look similar to this little one as far as fun feathers and the head feathers go. I can tell this one is definitely part silkie because of its black feet and extra toes. Anyone have any...

Couldn’t get the best pictures but I have some dark gray hens with little tufts of feathers on their heads. I can’t remember for the life of me what breed they are. Anyone have any idea?

I have thought of trying to squeeze the stuff out but I'm worried about causing more harm than good

Its not puffy like air. Its hard but it sort of breaks a part and softens up if its massaged.

Its hard to see because the bump is underneath her feathers, and it looks a bit smaller now because I massaged it a bit which she seems to like. I'm worried that this is a deposit of food, but maybe I'm wrong. Something is making it hard for her to breathe, and I did manage to find her crop and...

Hey everyone, This is about one of my turkeys. I know theres a separate page for turkeys but no one ever replies there. Hopefully someone can help me. October 10th, my female turkey got attacked by my dog. Miraculously, she wasn't dead and no bones were broken but the wounds were very bad. She's...

Thats what I thought! Thank you for the confirmation, I bet he's going to be a big boy

Thank you!!

Hey guys, A couple months ago I used an incubator to hatch some chicks, and a broody hen raised them. She did awesome! She's an Austrolorp named Annie. Only one of the chicks I hatched was black, and he turned out to be male. He's absolutley gorgeous. Now that hes older I'm wondering if Annie is...

Hey guys, I'm in Sanbornton Nh. I have 3 young silkie cockerals who are just starting to mate and crow. They're free to a good home, otherwise it's the stew pot for them!

Of course, I know this all too well. Only 2 of the 14 chicks my hen raised were ones she hatched herself. The rest were in an incubator. I'm pretty sure none of the 14 chicks are hers biologically. There is one, one of the three roosters, who could potentially be hers but it's difficult to tell

I'm actually unable to tell if the hen that raised one particular rooster is actually his biological mother. The other two definitely aren't hers. But inter-breeding isnt a huge concern with a flock of over 70 chickens, almost all of which have zero relation to one another

I also prefer not to use line-breeding. I'm unsure whether the hen that raised my rooster is his mother, his base coloring is black and I have 3 black hens. I pretty much figured that roosters don't care, I was just curious.

Out of curiosity, will a rooster mate with the hen that raised him? I have a hen who hatched and raised a brood of about 14 chicks, 3 are male and 2 have begun crowing and mating. I've seen males mate with females from their same brood, but will they pursue their mom?
