Thank you! Can you tell the sex? I have heard pullet from some, cockerel from others. If it was indeed Cinnamon queen than it would be pullet. If EE than I am back at square 1.
I bought this chick frona local pet store/ feed store . There were a few varieties in the large glass rank they were in. I asked for the Americana (Easter eggers) but this one has matured with much different comb, wattle and even body shape than the others. I came across a another picture of a...
Thank you! Although I would love to have a rooster flock too, because I love all my babies we only have the one coop amd we dont really have enough room for a second. I have a friend who will take one of my cockerel, and I will look locally for homes for the one or two others. I do plan to keep...
Thank you! Are you fairly sure of this? I am assuming the darkest one with the blue coloring. The other one would be the splash looking one? Light colored with rust spots on shoulders? She or he has been definitely a bold bird and has gone head to head with our other for sure EE rooster. So I...
I am new to chickens too, but I have 2 or 3 that frequently come sit on my lap and a couple that like my back and or shoulder. Haha, I'm not sure of they do it because they like me or if they feel safe with me or what.
I have 1 wheaten ameraucana, and 3 olive Eggers from the same breeder. They are wheaten ameraucana and I think maran mix. They have feathered feet and pea combs light slate colored legs. I think I've come the conclusion at least 1 is a blue wheaten cockerel. I'd like confirmation on the others...
Muffins seems to be doing okay today! He is active and eating so I put him back with his flock mates and watched for a bit to make sure he wasn't pecked on. Fi gets crossed he will recover just fine!
Thank you! I love the rice filled sock idea! Ijabe a tissue on there to help keep it from bleeding. He/she had wiped all the corn starch off and there were a few more drops of blood. Can I wait till morning to clean it off? I did end up putting the water in there. Dont want him to go into shock...
I need support and advice! I have been so invested into trying to help my little cross beak chick. Changing his food ad feeder to help him. Today I read and watched videos about how trimming their beaks can help. I prepared myself and had corn starch ready. But obviously it didnt end well. He...
Thank you!! So maybe the pullet is just destined to be at the top of the pecking order. She doesnt take any of his BS! But she is never the one to start it. She is also the best forager!
That one is the one I was mostly thinking too. He/she is a jerk! Haha. But is it common for a pullet to stand up to a roo like that? I would think a pullet would back down and most do, but this one does not. But she is sweet with me and all the other chicks, but she is the only one who doesnt...
Hi folks! I posted here recently and had someone mention that both of these birds looked like pullets. But over the last couple of days the behavior change has made me very suspicious that at least one is a roo maybe both or maybe just fighting for the top of the pecking order. So, I have here a...
