    I have a big Blue Brahma Rooster and yesterday his partner my Buff Orpington Hen died suddenly. Today he seems to be pulling out some of his feathers including his tail ones - do you think this is part of his grieving? These 2 have always freeranged in my yard, while I have 4 other pens with...

    Salmon faverolle rooster?

    Hi All, I've just started my Faverolle journey. Had originally ordered 2 dozen Salmon eggs to hatch but the breeder got the order wrong and sent me a mix. They were a difficult hatch and I only got 6 in total. 1 little black one wasn't growing like the others and unfortunately didn't make it...

    A great post with very useful info that is so topical at this time of year in Australia - Thank you. Funnily enough, I was out at my coop last night filling it with grass cuttings as the spring rain was coming today.

    Official BYC Poll: How do you name your pet chickens?

But then I named my Araucana's Isadora and Catalina as I wanted...

    Platinum Andalusian?

    Wow if these are yours at 10 weeks old then mine are definitely girls as their combs are very small like some of yours. None have big combs. How do you find them? Mine have been poor in health ever since we got them but are finally coming around. I have 1 splash and 1 blue that are 12 weeks old...

    Thank you for all of this very clear information and images. I think one of my small flocks has coccidiosis as I lost my two 4 week old Barnevelders over the weekend, one was extremely quick and the other I tried everything to save - Coccodiosis medicine, emergency nutrition for sick and...

    Comment by 'MrsMc' in article 'Andalusian Blue Black White Splash'

    Great to see some images of these birds. I have 2 young pullets - a blue and a splash and am yet to find out if they are boys or girls - they are almost 10 weeks old but there is a big size difference between them. The Blue is much bigger and has a big tail, whereas the splash is much smaller...
