    PECKING ORDER!

    I'm going to say you are probably correct. No outward signs of being sick but some different behaviors for her. She was the oldest hen in our flock and up until a week or two ago was in the center of the roosting space. Then she shifted slightly off center and last week she was not on the roost...

    PECKING ORDER!

    I at a loss about what happened to my head hen. The last week my head hen seemed to be ostracized from the roost, she would sleep in front of a nest box which seemed odd and I didn't think to much about it. I came home for lunch today and found her dead in our free range front yard. I went...

    ROO OR NOT

    We have decided that "he" is in fact a roo ...all the pictures we googled match him very well..we never purchase straight run and have no experience with roosters. Just seemed odd he would squat. Thank you so much for your help with this.

    ROO OR NOT

    I'm going to ask most likely for the millionth time so I will apologize now. We have 2 Cream legbars what I REALLY thought were 2 pullets...here's the question: will a ROO "squat" like a laying hen does ? He/they are 8 to 9 months old and he has crowed once(weakly) that I can attest to. "He"...

    Who am I ?

    If I can get the picture to load I have a picture of what we were told at time of purchase is a Barneveld pullet. She basically has no comb and a small wattle directly under her bottom beak, no wattles below her ears. They are roughly 20 weeks old. I press the "attach files" button and nothing...

    Barnevelder

    Does anyone have pictures of their pullett Barnevelders. I was told that the 2 we purchased were 5 week old Barnevelder...I'm not sure that is what they are. I can't seem to attach a picture..

    Cockrell

    Good afternoon all, at what age ish will a Cockrell be able to fertilize eggs ? We purchased 2 cream legbar(both were supposed to be pullets) and 2 barnevelder. One legbar sprouted a comb pretty early on. Every one is in the same coop and he has just started to crow..

    Integrating littles

    Question for the GREAT MINDS here in BYC. We are ready to integrate our 13-14 week old pullets. Its been a couple of years since we have done that. Best we remember is that we lock 🔐 All the hens and pullets in for 2-3-4 days and let all back out...we have the pullets very visible to the rest...

    What age ?

    I purchased a 10lb bag of chic starter while waiting on replies and when its gone(very soon as they are chicken pigs) will switch to all flock. How will all flock affect egg production? Its not a big deal really but more of an FYI so I don't panic which ever way egg production goes..y'all here...

    What age ?

    What age can chics be switch to pullet/hen feed. We have 2 Cream leg bars and 2 Barneveld chics we got on good Friday and were 5 weeks old then. They are BIG girls now lol 😆 😂 We are going to integrate them more than likely the week of 4th of July...

    OLD AGE and what to expect

    Then there was or is nothing we could have done to prevent it? The coop dynamic has already shifted. I lovingly called her the "inforcer" because she kept all the rest of the flock in line for the head hen. The new "inforcer" is asserting her dominance in no uncertain terms..

    OLD AGE and what to expect

    Without sounding to morbid what happens to an "older chicken" when they reach end days. Here's why I ask...we just lost a hen that is 7 ish she. We live in south Texas and she has seen a lot, from a 7 day stretch of no power and below freezing, to nearly the same the following year(both times...

    Old bird egg or stressed bird egg

    I have a question for the great minds here at BYC...I have a picture of an egg likes of which I have never seen. It has been extremely hot in south Texas since April but were getting about normal amount of eggs considering the conditions BUT RECENTLY the last 45 ish days we have been getting...
