About 4 months old. Looks like a rooster but doesn't act like the other rooster we have. This one acts like one of the girls. Not sure about breed. Thank you!

My 7 month old puller went throughout what I thought was light molt. She has new feathers growing in on the area under the vent where all the fluffy feathers are and I just noticed her skin is super flaky and found few yellow scabs too. Is this normal? My other 3 girls don't have this. She seems...

so my husband built a coop for our 4 pullets few months ago and I've been thinking about few changes to make it better. The issues: no ventilation no door that could be closed at night only one roost (and its round) - top 2 girls won't let the other 2 to roost would like to have food and water...

Hi everyone, I am pretty new to chickens and am slightly paranoid about my chicks being sick. I have 4 chicks around 26 weeks old. My marans started laying at 18 weeks, laid for about 2 weeks and then stopped. She acts pretty normal. The others are all laying. They all act normal. But I just...

Hi everyone. I have a perhaps silly question/concern. I have 4 chickens, hatched on April 27th 2015, they are silver cuckoo marans, cream legbar, black jersey giant and dominique. The marans laid her first egg at 18 weeks and 5 days or so, it wasnt the chocolate color I hopped for but kinda...

Any chance this is not a rooster? I have a place for him if it's a roo but would have to relocate him on July 11, would I know for sure it's a roo by then?

ONe of my sex links has been laying eggs with weird stuff on them, is it something I should be worried about or is it just imperfection that will go away when she gets older? The hen is 9 months old

so I am really new to eggs and my sex links have been laying some really big eggs (3oz+) and I was wondering if it is healthy for them? They are such little things and the eggs are really big compared to the australorp and easter egger. I feed them layer crumble and they free range for about 1...

So my 2 sex links and australorp has been laying for good 4 weeks or so and I was sure the easter egger will never lay as she would run away if I tried to pet her and just didn't seem ready at all. Yesterday when I went to collect and feed them she squated right away, so that was a shock. The...

We have 4 chickens that will be 4 weeks on monday. We are leaving for 12 days for vacation. When I purchased the chickens my bf told me to go ahead that he will stay home with them ( he hates driving) well at the last minute he changed his mind and wants to go with us. So my question is would...

They are so so cute!! I'll have more pictures later, we are trying to make sure they are all set up right now. My daughter told me she didnt love me anymore that she loved the chickens now . .go figure

After looking at many many designs I picked the dutch henhouse. My awesome boyfriend is working on it, we didnt buy the plans he is making it from one picture so it probably wont be exactly the same as the original henhouse. the big mess ^^^ thats where the nest boxes are going to be...
