I sold this pullet and the lady who bought her is concerned about the longer tail feathers. I posted about her previously with the consensus of pullet, which I agree, but want to double check for her. So, pullet or roo? Thanks! She’s 5-6 months old
Guys, I don’t understand what’s going on with my chickens 😭 I have 12 laying hens and 2 bantams (I don’t really count them, because they’re not super consistent layers). All but 5 were hatched February of 2023. I did add 5 this summer that were around 8 months old and had some feather loss...
We got this “pullet” from someone and I’m having suspicion on whether or not it’s actually a female. It doesn’t crow yet. Im not sure on age, but believe it’s around 4 or 5 months. What do you think with the brass and the tail feathers? I think she said it was an Olive Egger, and looks Americana...
They have an extended run off their main run, and I don’t believe so, but I’m going to sanitize their coop and run tomorrow and will go hunting around.
I’m in Utah in the US, it’s just beginning spring weather. My hens around 18 months. I have checked for mites and lice, but don’t see anything or notice any feather loss. I have not done a test for that, but will look up how to do it. I also attached the analysis for the feed.
The hens that I got from a lady were treated for worms. I have not treated mine as I hadn’t noticed any signs. They don’t seem to be losing any feathers. The mill does have a label and I will attach.
I had what I believed to be coccidiosis going on. Posted a photo to a local group and they confirmed. Afterward, I looked closer into it and read that I was suppose to do a fecal test before treatment. Too late, and I had already given Corid for 5 days. I have 16 laying hens and I am only...
Alright, our silkies are about 16-17 weeks old. I cannot for the life of me decide what is what. I’d love some gender guesses!
We have a grey, a black, and a splash.
My chickens are about 14/15 weeks. I think it’s only two of the 12, but someone keeps kicking the fake eggs out of the nesting boxes! I put them in there in hopes they’d see early on where the eggs go and that they hurt when they peck them. Should I pull them out? I’m going to place wood in...
*14 weeks old today*
No crowing yet. Doesn’t fight the others or act “rooish”. It’s really stumping me and so far I’ve had really split responses on it. I’m really not sure what breed she is as I bought her from the assorted color layer bin. Her tail feathers stress me out!
Also, this barred...
I have 5 chickens that I’m not sure the gender on. The first two are of cinnamon, the next two are Daisy. Both of them are around 13 weeks. The last 3 are my silkies. They’re about 10 weeks.
Hi! All of my chickens are roughly 12 weeks old. Some may be closer to 13. We moved them out to the coop and they did great, except they all piled in the corner for the first little bit, which I suspect was due to it being a little cold out. Now, they all sleep on the roosts except for one. My...
10 week old chickens and it’s getting harder to get photos 😂 I’d love your guesses on genders!
Daisy: “Assorted color layer”. No idea the breed.
Cinnamon: Same thing. Also bought as an assorted color layer.
Kylohen & Vada: Also assorted layer bin. Much larger and heavier than my barred rock...
Hi! My chicks are 6 weeks, and now they have names! Hopefully they might be a little easier to guess gender. I know it’s never 100% until they crow or lay, but I’m just interested in guesses.
Breeds-
Mando: Olive Egger
George: Sapphire Gem, but in the assorted bantam bin, so not positive...
