    The Age Old Question! Help Me Out Here... Pullet or Cockerel

    Hi! We have five younger chickens that we bought in February. They are all now 20 weeks. One has laid an egg so I'm sure she's a she... We just don't know about Inky, Winnie, and Olive. We *think* that LuLu is a girl because she squats but maybe she's a submissive he... :) Here are...

    Speckled Sussex Roo in Washington State

    I don't think I can ship him to you. He would be without water for too long. :( I looked up the information on the USPS website and it doesn't seem possible.

    We have an 11 week old Speckled Sussex Roo. He's gorgeous and would love to find a great home for him. The picture below was when he was a little younger. He's bigger and has beautiful tail feathers growing in. He just found his voice. We are in Bellevue and can't keep a rooster in the city.

    Here is what should be included in your page: 1) A write up of how you built your coop along with any information you think would be helpful to other people who may want to build a similar coop. Put 1.5" rigid insulation in all the walls. Hardware cloth on all sides of the chicken run...

    Non - Free Ranging Chickens

    My girls do not free range because we have a lot of predators. Also, our yard is not very sunny and the way it is situated, we do not have grass. Lived here 12 years and never owned a lawn-mower... I digress. My neighbor does not use fertilizer or weed killer or anything else on her lawn. I...

    Two Dead Chickens within 3 weeks???

    I think you need to contact your state vet for a necropsy. I think in Washington state it is around $30. You might not be able to send either of these birds because of the way they want it preserved. Can you take the remaining girls to the vet?

    ? about losing a chicken and dealing with the rest of the flock

    Hi, Here is the picture. It's pretty gross. I should add that our Buff Orpington has stopped laying eggs. She laid her last egg on 8/23 and hasn't laid an egg since. Our Ameraucauna started laying eggs on Monday and has laid four eggs this week. The rest of the chickens have not...

    ? about losing a chicken and dealing with the rest of the flock

    Our golden comet chicken passed away last night. I thought she was fine but just not laying eggs. We found blood/red liquid on a stool in the hen house on Saturday with a big worm in it. Yuck. (I have a picture if anyone wants to see it) So I went to the Grange and got wormer medicine...

    Egg Question or Rather Questions

    Thanks, everyone. I'm sure it's not heat... Unless, lack of heat is an issue. We are in Seattle and summer has yet to make an appearance. The high today is 72 and it's been cold and gray for most of the "summer." June, July, & August have been renamed to Junuary, Julebruary, and Fogust. I'm...

    Egg Question or Rather Questions

    So just curious, the hen who started laying hasn't laid for three days. So four days on and three days off - is this getting started laying behavior? Anyone?
