So, this little fellow just appeared in my flock today, it's not one of mine, I am unsure if it wandered over on it's own, or a well meaning neighbor found it and knew I have chickens so tossed it over the fence assuming it belonged there... But it has made itself quite at home in my vacant...

I hatched out 2 of my 3 Cemanis (first ever attempt at hatching, so.. yay?) It's looking like ive got 1 roo and one pullet, which is alright with me, as I currently have no roos in my small backyard flock. Id like to keep him, and am allowed to have 1 crowing poultry, per the laws in my area...

I think I've got a roo and a hen, but I've never had Ayam Cemanis before, and I suck at sexing chickens. Chicken 1 Chicken 2 Both Chickies

I have a golden laced wyandotte a year and a half old maybe? that I THOUGHT was a hen, but I have recently caught her trying to crow. I know it's not completely unheard of for a hen to crow, but I wanted to get your opinion. I am not sure if she's laying... I have an easter egger who is old...

I have a 7 mo old Silkie who started laying late in November, she was laying around 5 eggs a week up until January when she went broody (wouldn't leave the nest box, sat on anything remotely egg shaped) this broody spell lasted about a 2 weeks before she finally seems to have snapped out of it...

I have a frizzle cochin bantam that I purchased recently, we have had her about 2 weeks in a quarantine coop with one other bird I purchased at the same time from the same person (a Japanese frizzle). Neither of them have shown any troubling symptoms until this morning (I saw the cochin...

I had to get rid of two of my "hens" when they turned out to be roos and would like to replace them. I know I am supposed to quarantine any new birds for 30 days to make sure they don't make my current flock sick, but I'm not sure of the specifics of this. I have built a small quarantine coop...
