Need to rehome, can't have 2 roosters. Attached are 2 pics if the little guy and one of his dad. I am in north central Connecticut.

Looks like she did it again, although I can't be sure. This is what she left in the nest, but she could have trampled it by accident. :(:(

I will update tomorrow - she's still sitting pretty, and I have seen 2 chicks. Clutch of only 5...

The barred rock cross is called a California Gray. Looks like a barred rock but with gray stripes instead of black. Females have darker gray stripes than males.

I will. Due Friday!

I was thinking that, too. I'll keep my eyes on her.

Thank you! I will.

No, I don't, but I have time to get one.

Last time my BA hen hatched eggs, she pulled big pieces of shell off the pipped eggs. One of the chicks didn't hatch/survive. Her current clutch is due to hatch Friday. Should I be concerned, or is it OK for her to "help" the chicks hatch?

Thanks. I have no firsthand knowledge, but that's what I have read.

White leghorn hens are said to live 4 to 6 years, shorter than many other breeds because of their prolific egg laying. But what about the roosters?

Thank you! 🐓

I have a 9 month old white leghorn cockerel who needs a new home. I think he will be a great rooster, he tidbits and dances and alerts for danger. I just can't keep him. ☹ we are in Connecticut. Thanks.

Thank you! I am going to give it a try.

Thank you. Per this article, It may be an overly amorous rooster. The article actually says too many roosters, but I only have one for 9 hens.

Hi Heather, thanks for helping. She has been having shell quality issues, but her shells are not thin. Also, today's egg was perfect, but very small. How did you give the calcium and D?

Can I have Janet?

My salmon faverolles is now laying body checked eggs - the kind with a ridge all the way around. For the last 3 weeks they have all been this way. Before that, they looked normal. She lays every other day. She is my only SF in a mixed flock of 9 hens and 1 rooster. She is at the bottom of...

Thank you for your input. She is so docile that she is a target; after I got my mixed flock I learned that salmon faverolles don't do well alone in a mixed flock. She has always been a target, but since the bullying got worse she has victim mentality, she cowers when one goes after her, and...

I will try this too, during the day, to see exactly who is bullying. I know of 2 for sure. Thank you.
