Update: Still no crowing... but he is a rooster! He does do quite a bit talking... like a lot. But no crowing, whatsoever. He has become quite protective over his flock! BUT not at the top of the pecking order. I have not seen any breeding or dominance, but have seen him make a call and they ran...

Thank y'all! I will keep everyone posted! ❤️

Me too!! It's so strange. Lol It makes noises like a hen.. like that "chicken growl/talk" sound. And still no crowing. And it's sooo chill.. bottom of the pecking order. 🤷‍♀️

Still no new info... but some more pics. 🤣

See, I'm not sure if she produces or not. My LO aren't laying right now... even the new girls. (Last year our new girls laid through the winter). We have two mixed breeds that are laying consistently, but no LO are. I will definitely keep an eye out and see what we see. I can't wait to find out...

Thank you! Around 8 months old now. ❤️ I guess we will need to keep an eye on this one! We have had others (from the same breeder) and they were all super early crowers. But every chicken is different! ❤️

Thank you! Have you ever known a rooster to never crow? Ever?

Update: This is the shredder pullet now. Is it still a pullet?! It has never crowed (ever! And we had 5 roosters at one point... and they have all been rehomed for being mean). They were all super loud and would battle with their crows, in the morning. 🤪 And this one never joined.. and has...

Wowee!! Thank you all so much!! I had never heard of it either, but it appears that's what it is!!! So interesting!!

We hatched out some chicks back in April, and this is one of the lavender orpingtons. We have had LO's in the past and they are my FAVORITE. But.. this one seems a little different. It's feathers are very strange... and straggly? I have picture of them up close, next to another LO hen, for...

I am quite new, But could he be getting bullied? With the comb and black spur, I wonder if he could be getting bit? And these are signs of bruising?

We only have 15 birds, including these 11 chicks. So if 4 are roosters- we would most certainly have too many. 🙈 We may even have more than that! lol If so, hopefully they like each other-- and turkeys. lol

Ah, thank you! <3 I am kinda sorta hoping they all get along. BUT, I have also thought about if they don't... they can free range with our turkeys. I have asked a friend about doing that, and she said her roosters/turkeys get along fine. Their runs are right next to each other (You can see the...

Thank you so much! He is SO sweet!! He was the most adorable fluffy chick- and seemed to tell everyone what to do, right away. Now, he is still the sweetest thing, and doesn't seem to have any aggressive behavior yet. <3

Thank you so much! I am not sure I know what you mean about knowing what to do with them. <3 Do you mean what to do with so many roosters?

We have 11 chicks. Some are mixed breeds, some lavender orpingtons, and a couple silkies. There are 4 that developed their combs super early, and I am thinking 4 roos! I have multiple pictures, not super great, but I was trying to stay out of the run and not have to run inside for my chicken...

Yes! The customer service rep said most of their calls are for that reason. Another review online said hers go from being too cold to too hot. :/

I just opened up a brand new Producer's Pride brooder for my baby chicks. I got the whole pen set up and checked the brooder plate, just to be sure it was working properly. It was so hot that holding it there for a few seconds felt like it could cause a burn. I went and got my temperature gun...

Thank you so much! ❤️

My friend picked up some chicks from the local farm store and was told this red one was a "Cali white".. and it isn't white at all. 😅 It is a red color. Anyone have any ideas? Here are a few pics of when she got it and what it looks like now. Thank you so much!
