I have this female. She seems to be rather young and I have no idea what breed she is. She makes a very strange call, like "Kooweeeee". The colour on the wing is emerald green, not blue. Can any of you folks help me out please?
I was wondering if you folks could help me. My rooster (sussex) is hurting my hens very badly when he mates with them. His spurs are not sharp yet, but his claws are rather sharp. He gashed one of my girls so bad that I lost her! Does anyone have advice on how to deal with the problem, other...
I don't want fights, I just want to ask a few questions.
Here in my country we have one organization who organizes all the shows. You cannot show if you are not a paid up member. In addition we have regional clubs.

I have a question... Can my rooster breed with his daughters? Or can my hen's 'son' breed with her again? I have searched the net and can't seem to find a sure answer. everyone is really vague about it. It freaks me out a little, but that's coz I'm human. is it a problem in chicken and will it...

I have no idea how old this chook is. It still makes chick sounds, although it's voice seems to be 'breaking' at the moment. We suspect it might be a Brahma cross. What do you guys think. I have another Roo, a real fighter, and although these two chooks walk behind the main flock, my big Roo...
I was wondering what blood feathers are and how does it work. is it a problem? Should I pull them out or just leave them alone? Is it a sign of some underlying problem?

So we'll start off with a bang. Last week Monday I opened the coop for the banty bunch and went about the usual morning chores. at about 9:30am I quickly popped out to the store. I left my 10 month old baby and the nanny at home.
I returned home at about...
So, it's a rescue chicken. (Brooklyn) quite a large bird already, but it peeps like a chick still. It's definately crossed with something, but is anyone thinking brahma? I also have no idea if it's a roo or a pullet.... any ideas?
