    I'm voting cockerel due to the red wattles coming in already.

    BYC's 17th Annual New Year's Day Hatch-Along—2026

    That sucks, I'll be getting some hatching eggs in Jan/Feb to get some colored egg layers in my flock. I'll be on pins and needles waiting for them to start laying so I can play with a bit of egg color genetics next (next) spring, lol.

    Eggs brittle and yolks falling apart

    From what I understand layer feed is only supposed to be fed if you only have laying hens, no roosters, no chicks. All flock is safe for chickens of all ages, but you need to supplement calcium for the layers.

    Weighing chickens

    How do you weigh your chickens? I'm mostly curious about my Black Jersey Giant cockerel. He's stands at least a head taller than all my other chickens and is very broad. When he runs across the yard and I hear the thump, thump, thump and assume it's on of my dogs running around, lol. (My dogs...

    Nesting boxes & coop

    I have both. I have a hen house in the main yard, outside the run, and an 8-bay nest box in the run. I did this because when I start collecting eggs from specific pullets/hens they'll be confined for a few weeks until I get the eggs I want. They all prefer the henhouse, but will lay in the...

    Lavender EE - What do we think of that tail?

    I'm pretty sure that's a pullet. The comb and wattles would've pinked up way earlier if it was a cockerel.

    BYC's 2025 Spooktacular Halloween Hatch-Along

    I just started getting a few more eggs in the last week or so too. My 3 oldest girls (10 months and 8 months) laid all winter, but the rest are 5-7 months and a few more started laying. I have 20 girls and I seriously have no idea what I'll with all the eggs when they're all laying regularly.

    Selling Hatching Eggs & Breeding Question

    Even if they're offering a guarantee of egg color laid by the hatched chicks I wouldn't pay that much for hatching eggs locally, that's $3.75 for a single unhatched egg. If I were purchasing shipped eggs I might pay that amount because I would take into account the cost of packing materials etc...

    What chicken breed could they be?

    The lighter one looks very similar to a White Laced Red Cornish, but the pattern/color seems to be muted, so it's probably a cross or mix https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/white_laced_red_cornish.html . . . they come in standard and bantam sizes. Here's a picture of the one I had, she was a bantam
