Beautiful rooster! He is just trying to impress the ladies with his new bright red kicks! Got to show off if you want the ladies!

I did not sanitize mine the first time I hatched because it was brand new from the store in it's box. After hatching, though, I did clean it each time. I didn't use any chemicals though because I would be worried of not cleaning it away completely and the chemicals absorbing into the eggs...

Does it happen during spring/summer? Does he have paler legs? Speckled Sussexes have pale pinkish legs. I am sure it can happen to ones with pale yellow/whitish legs too. Whenever it happens it looks like sunburn but thankfully it isn't and it is nothing to worry about!

I bet he is beautiful!

My mother hen is raising up my first 2 Lavender Wyandottes. I love seeing what they grow up to look like! So beautiful! The two sisters are actually named Lavender and Violet!

Someone else had this problem on here with their rooster. It is believed to be a hormonal thing. Think of it like how male birds have brighter coloring in mating season. That is kind of what it is. It should not be any harm to him. Is he a Speckled Sussex? The ither person with the problem had...

The brown one in the 4th picture might be a Speckled Sussex. The light one on the right in the 2nd picture looks like a Buff Orpington.

I wish you the best of luck! Don't forget to breathe!

About a month back I got my hands on a cow skull. I like to paint skulls and I have multiple that I have painted. A cow skull is by far the biggest I have in my collection so far. I need help deciding what to paint/put on it and what theme to go with. I sometimes go with a theme of how the...

Hello everyone! This thread has been quiet for a while. How is everyone?

I am thinking they just need some adjusting to their new surroundings. In time they should be laying eggs like normal. They moved from one place to a completely new place, so they need to assess their new home and get comfortable.

They may need time to adjust and then they will begin laying regularly. When did you get the hens? The posture of that andalusian hen is worrying. Does she seem sickly or was she just standing weird for the picture?

I have 3 SLW and my mother hen is raising 2 Lavender Wyandottes. My SLW are my least favorite chickens I have. They don't want to be touched. They bully other chickens for food and nesting boxes. I have seen my 3 grab hens and pull them out of a nesting box even when there were plenty of boxes...

That would be a good idea.

Buckeye cockerels are horrible with sexing. I had bought buckeye pullets from TSC. 2 ended up being roosters and 2 hens. As they were growing I couldn't tell who was a rooster or hen. It was so confusing. My last buckeye hen is still named Buck because I thought she was a he. The hens actually...

I have never owned a naked neck, but I have heard about them plenty.

The breeding pens I plan on having will have a covered roof and plenty escape from the texas sun. Would that be okay?
