    Tracks. What are these?

    That is probably a good idea, but I do not have any game cameras. Either way, there is no way anything can get to the birds, so I am not worried about that. But it would be nice to see what they are doing.

    Bear Attack

    Okay. The photo is a little weird. I would coat a wound like that with some original neosporin. Its a good one just make sure it does not have pain-killer. If you have Veterycin, it works good too. I am so glad I do not have bears here. If you could, try to get a better photo.

    Bear Attack

    The best way to help is to see an actual photo of the wound.

    Tracks. What are these?

    I wrote in my original post that I am in CA. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for your help!

    Tracks. What are these?

    Okay, yeah, that would totally make sense. I forgot to add that I hear coyotes a lot, including yesterday. I am not too worried about them coming close. The coop is fully predator proof. I just was curious what was brave enough to come so close. Seems like coyotes could jump fences pretty well too.

    California - Northern

    My birds only like the bugs and grass that come after. They are having a good time today.

    Tracks. What are these?

    Rained yesterday and here we are with tracks. Would love if someone could help identify them. I am in California. To me, it looks like two different animals. These were not here yesterday. Nothing attempted to get into the coop (which would be impossible anyways). Lots of bobcats, deer, elk...

    Pullets - Winter

    To answer your first question, it depends on your birds. Some lay through their first winter and some don't. As for feed, I recommend the latter. Grower and oyster shells on the side is enough.

    Fertilized eggs???

    Post pictures of the candling. If she has been on them for a week, fertile eggs will certainly start to develop.

    Overly Aggressive Hen Toward New Flock Members

    Polish are easy targets. Brahmas are big birds. A lot of people separate Polish chickens because Polish are small, have crests, and they can have poor vision due to their crest. Whenever I integrate new birds, I provide more feeders and waterers. In your case, it might be worth a try to...

    Splash marans pullet?

    That is definitely a pullet. Nothing about it says cockerel.

    Splash marans pullet?

    Splash Marans definitely do not have beards. They have a clean face. No crests and no beards. Bird pictured is not pure.

    General curiousity

    Oh and also, technically, one could get a line of EEs to breed true. Its just a matter of time.

    General curiousity

    Thank you. That's what I thought, but hatcherys can really be confusing. They just seem to really like to add to their collection of mutts. Not sure why they would breed toward that direction. Maybe they are looking for something fresh and exciting? Or something that is dual purpose? But if that...

    General curiousity

    All of mine have started at around 16-20 weeks. Depends on a lot of factors: the amount of daylight hours, breeds in the mix, and a lot more things. In my experience, EEs (hatchery EEs) tend to not go broody. I keep around 15-20 EEs. I really like to randomly hatch, so that's that. Most...

    White spots on egg?

    Yes, it is quite normal. I like to add extra hay into the nesting boxes when I have new layers, too. I also get odd eggs from new layers and sometimes from old layers or layers who have not laid for a while.
