That was very thoughtful and complete… thanks -A

Ok thanks… do it right away?!

Thank you!!! Well, we know who the daddy is… I only have one rooster. The dad is a gentle giant of a Blue Austrolorp… the moms are Ancona, speckled Sussex, Easter, egg, and Leghorn. The coop that they are in is pretty small with a ten square foot run…mama is used to 1000 square feet

So one of my mama chickens went broody and well you know what’s next if there’s a rooster around… chicks!!! Now almost 3 weeks old. The mom seems like she’s needing a break and space from them to roll in the dirt. I’m not sure what to do because I work in the day and if I let her out in the...

I know this is multiple years later, but I have a chick that’s across from a blue Astro of male and a female Ancona… the chick on the right

Ok… I guess her eyes are chocolate… So she’s not a showgirl? She’s a beauty!! Thanks -ananda (pollo)

Why? I have a black eyed chicken as well… black copper Marans Is that bad? -pollopollito

Hi, thanks for your reply. The two were part of a group of six for at least one year. I started with this group of 6 b/c my friend was moving away. Unfortunately, I lent out 4 of the 6 to a school. They said they had 22 years of chicken experience... ha ha ha... and the 4 were killed by raccoons...

Hi all, I inherited two older hens. One is an Ameraucana and no one knows how old she is... at least 4 years old...She could be 8 years old... she belonged to an elderly woman who couldn't care for anymomre and then my friend took her on. Now my friend is moving to Hawaii... so she's living...

beautfiful bird you have!!!

I was at the feed store early September and the owner implored me to take home a couple more chicken and I caved. This one is supposed to be Sex-linked between Black Copper Marans & Cuckoo Marans... The chicken was approaching 2 weeks old at the time. I noticed the bigger comb and mentioned...

I have a couple big eggs too! Maybe there's something in the water these days! What's up with these MEGA EGGS? I've only been raising chickens since late March, 2022. Here I have two giant eggs & three other eggs for comparison!! I'm assuming the big honkers come from a 2-year old Red Sex Link...

OK, OK!! I caved in and posted asking your advice for a chicken gender-reveal!!! This new chicken started "combing-out" much earlier than the adult Delaware I have, pictured on my profile pic here. That hen was named Doug/ Dougie by a ten-year-old kid, who thought all chickens were boys like in...

It would seem that both are roosters... I have an elderly hen version of your bluer roo for comparison. I believe she's an Ameraucana... I'm the third chicken caretaker so who knows? Her first name was Mabel, but we also call her "La Chilena."

I had worked on some farms in my teen years, but never felt motivated to have backyard chickens, until my friend who had a flock of 6 is moving to Hawaii and asked me to take on her crew. I said yes... begrudgingly... That was March, 2022. Now I'm hooked! My daughter has a cold today and I'm so...
