    Buff Leghorn?

    Leghorns have yellow shanks, but they can decrease in tone in old birds, molting birds, or birds needing a rest, since its caused by carotenoids.

    Buff Leghorn?

    Sorry, not slate, its white/pink. Could be, but the body conformation reminds me of a leghorn.

    Buff Leghorn?

    Those have slate colored legs.

    What am I?

    Oh! That makes sense, I thought you were saying the RIR had a rose comb. Its the black pullet in topic here, correct? I was having a panic attack there... questioning myself, but doubtful. I knew I was missing something, my bad.

    What am I?

    I can't seem to see how either would work

    What am I?

    Yeah, the rest of your order looks correct, some OEs, EEs, welsummers...I agree that it looks like you have a RIR.

    People food/Treats

    I do that too, as soon as I can get them grit. IMO, mealworms don't count as "oily" and don't stick to dirt as the chickens run and drop some across the grass, so I love feeding them that.

    Broody Hen - still sitting on an empty nest for 4 weeks!

    She sounds too far gone. You would have to break her in an elevated dog crate. Usually, elavating a dog crate on some bricks work. That way you create airflow under her and help her to release her hormones. Being broody for too long can cause several issues. She will probably molt once she is...

    Mystery Chicken Breed/Gender

    Australorp pullet then.

    People food/Treats

    Yeah, I know, but if I do not have to, I stay away from oily foods and meat. I like to place most wet treats in a bowl.

    Mystery Chicken Breed/Gender

    How old is the bird? Looks like an australorp to me, color matches, body shape, etc. Seems to have white skin as well, but the photos are not very clear. Looks like a pullet, but depends on age.

    People food/Treats

    If your chickens are 3 months, they can eat a whole mealworm just fine. I know because I do it all the time. They LOVE it. That being said, treats should take up no more than 10% of a chicken's overall diet. Earthworms work as well, but I recommend mealworms. I like to raise my own mealworms...

    She reminds me of a Rosie. Sweet and gorgeous!

    Giant eggs every time?

    She will be fine.

    Giant eggs every time?

    New layers will be new layers. Much like a new driver, there will be accidents in the beginning. With new laying pullets, they often get egg laying glitches (soft shell, double yolks, blood on eggshells, speckles, small eggs, fairy eggs, etc.). The good thing is that most of these are happy...

    Number of roosters in flock

    To be honest, it would be hard to find a cockerel that could do well with only 8 hens. I recommend at the very least 10 for one cockerel or rooster and buy chicken saddles (with wing protection) for them. Over mating is an issue that can be quite serious. I would keep the nicest to the hens and...

    Eggs?

    I almost never hear anything either. Usually when an attack is about to occur, I see it, not hear it. For example, I am extra careful during the aerial predator's "lunch break". Which is usually around noon to afternoon. I have seen, quite a few times, when hawks or vultures roost on a tree near...

    Eggs?

    Thats a broad question. I free range, with little to no losses. But thats because I watch my birds and I am almost always home. If I were not home, I do not like to let them out. Again, everyone is different. I know the birds in my area, I know the 4 legged and the 2 legged. I have pretty much...
