I've got a couple young serama cockerels needing a new flock in Kansas City. Free to a good home. Seramas are not cold hardy below 40 degrees and will need to be kept out of the cold over winter. I have them set up in my garage in a flock but I've got too many roosters for my 6 hens. These guys...

I was sold this pullet as a barred rock, but she has white legs with black on them, and she seems small for a barred rock. She's 5 months old. What do you think? Rock, marans or something else?

I have 2 9-week-old Erminettes (the breed, not just the color) that I'm not sure on the sex. I've never had these guys before, and the breeder just got them as well and isn't sure about sexing. She had a medical issue and sent her chicks that are the same age as mine away to a friend's farm to...

I lost 1 hen about 6 weeks ago and decided to treat everyone with Corid and ivermectin, though I do not know whare her cause of death was. Lost a second hen 2 days ago. She had been pale on and off but was still laying any active the day she died. I opened her up (took pictures) and found that...

I'm in the middle of treating some 6 week old chicks with amprolium and ordered toltrazuril which came today. I've read that the toltrazuril is more effective, but we are on day 4 of corid. Is it ok to give the toltrazuril at the same time or do I need to finish corid first? I had initially...

I've got a 9 month old created cream legbar who has never laid an egg. Her comb has never been truly red, though it grew significantly in the spring, it's always been kind of a salmon color. She seems to always have runny poop. Today I finally caught her pooping on a hard surface so I could get...

I'm wondering about the color pattern on my starlight green egger "pullet" from tsc. She's about 6 weeks old now and I keep thinking she might be a roo because of some of the coloring in her wings, but I can't find may pictures of starlight green egger roos for comparison. Here's some pictures...

My Cream Legbar, Penny, is 8.5 months old. She's never laid an egg. Her comb got nice and big early this spring, but hasn't really turned red, it's more orange. She has been squatting for me for over a month, but still no eggs. Her flock mates that are the same age started laying 2-3 months ago...

4 double gold laced barnevelder cockerels, 6 weeks old now, looking for new flocks. Very sweet, well socialized, curious birds that love to chat and snuggle. Great predator awareness and warnings already. Can't keep roos in the city so they have to go.

I hatched these guys from eggs I got from a breeder's project pen. They are both such beautiful chicks, but I can't figure out the sex since they're not an official color pattern for brahmas and there aren't a lot of reference photos out there. I think I have one cockerel and one pullet. The...

I hatched out some chicks 3 days ago and one of them had a ruptured yolk sack during hatching. She's spunky and seems ok except she's half the weight of the other chicks of her breed, and is very skinny. Is there anything I can give her to give her a boost in the weight department? She's...

I have 2 shipments of eggs coming this week, but they won't arrive the same day. I'm not sure when the second lot will arrive because it hasn't shipped yet, but I'm guessing 3 to 5 days after the first shipment. I've done some digging and found varied advice on how to store the first eggs...

Hi, I'm almost done constructing my coop and getting ready to put the roof on. I'm using recycled metal panels and I'm not sure how I want to attach them. The question is do I notch the supports so the roof is flush with the walls or do I let the roof supports sit on top of the walls creating an...

Is it still too early to call? 7.5 weeks old. The comb and wattles are not as red as my camera seems to make them look. They are really more pink with some grey.

I have 5 chickens I got at a day old, 3.5 weeks ago. They are all together in a play pen in my living room with pine shavings and a heat lamp. We recently started taking them out to a chicken tractor when the weather is warm enough. All the birds are acting fine but my barred rock is having...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? My mom had chickens when I was a teenager/younger adult and I loved them. When we finally bought a house 9 years ago, I was so excited to find out that we were allowed to have chickens. I wanted to get some but my husband wasn't on...
