Breed When I got these they were completely yellow. Now they have competely feathered out and they are completely white. They have no spots anywhere. I was told they could be leghorns, but the lady was not sure. So, at 4 months old, can anyone tell what they are as far as breed goes. Gender I...

I think it is a roo, but I am wanting to make sure. Body Head Feet Thanks everyone!

I have an EE that has been laying for around a month now. We have been looking for normal sized eggs, hoping the pullet egg will come to an end soon. Well, twice last week and twice so far this week, we found slightly larger than normal eggs. When we cracked them open, they were double yolked...

So Betty is a pullet and has been laying eggs for a week or so. Her Friend Helen (also a pullet) disappeared about 4 nights ago. We had gotten eggs from both that day. Because, over 3 nights, we lost 6 chickens (including Helen and her mate Alpha) we cooped them up until we could catch the...

I traded a breeding pair for a breeding pair with my mother in law. The rooster I got is 3 years old. He is fantastic! He keeps everyone else in check. Today, we heard a noise so my husband rushed out to check. What he found was a huge chicken hawk flying over the property. The 3 year old...

It was making a lot of noise. I checked and it was mostly our of the egg and was turned kinda funny. I could tell something was not right. Then I saw the blood. It was in the shell. I am very worried it is about to die. Is there anything I can do? It is where the yolk sac was and it has...

I have a total of 3 roosters that are fully crowing and 1 bantam that started 2 days ago. The oldest rooster (Ki-Ki... My MIL named him and she is Mexican) has 1 hen and will not mate with any other. The other rooster is the Alpha BR (We call him Alpha) to the rest of the flock. So that leaves...

This chick was shrink wrapped, or at least beginning to. We have already had one that was, so I added water and then tried to get this guy moist. Well he hatched mostly on his own. (He had turned in the egg to finish zipping and was stuck, I had to remove some egg shell as to not drown the...

She is about 7 weeks old. We let them out last night for an hour or so and the put them up. It was the second time to do this. This morning I noticed she looked odd, but no strange sounds and she was eating and drinking. My husband and I went to check just now and she looked strange enough for...

Do bantams usually start to lay at the same age as standards? I have several and the oldest is 15 weeks. Her comb is starting to redden up and her bottom are is wider than the same breed bantam that is 1.5 weeks younger. Thanks

So we added some water to the incubator and some water got on the thermometer. Now it is reading a few degrees lower than it was before. We are trying to figure out if it is because the thermometer is wet or because the temp is actually wrong. I took a thermometer I have for my kids and put it...

I was just wondering how you do this. I can not find a fan that I can get an adapter for. I have a Little Giant Still Air Incubator. I have seen people talking about this before. How do you take a computer fan and hook it up to the incubator.

JUST FOR REFERENCE! Today one of my bantam roosters mounted Fluffy(the white silkie). When it comes to Fuzzy he looks at him funny. We are assuming that Fluffy is a girl. (I highly doubt the rooster would get confused... I could be wrong) And because Fuzzy has a silky, shiny, neck and the...

My Mother in Law has a rooster which she traded to us for some younger birds. I would like to know any ideas on breed. I do know that he could have some game bird and some RIR. Other than that, I am lost. His feet are kinda blueish if that helps any. I do know he is a mutt. Sorry the pics are...

I was just wondering when the partridge roosters come into their color. Is it the first feathering or later?? Thanks!

I have several Bantams that were bought from Atwoods. Only, I think these are not bantams and I have no idea what they are. Any Suggestions?? Thanks Everyone!! Chick 1 Chick 2 Chick 3 Updated Pics

Yesterday afternoon my husband noticed his favorite (figures) bantam was just looking "down." It is kinda hard to explain. He normally runs around the pen chasing the others and taking away their bugs. However, he was not. He was just sitting there in one spot. He brought him in with the rest of...

We got a bantam from Atwoods and I am almost positive that they get their chicks from Ideal Poultry. My husband noticed that one of the feather footed chicks has 5 toes. I know it is not a Silkie, because I have 2 and they look nothing alike. I am not sure what they all are and I have 14, so I...

Here they are. Are they both males? We think they are, but what does everyone else think? I will start with Fuzzy who was hatched around April 20th. Fuzzy is also extremely hard to photograph. Fuzzy never stops moving. All day he walks the perimeter of the pen like he is on guard duty...

This is a chick we are calling Cloe and is 3 weeks old in this pic, taken 5-3-11. Whether it is male or female, we are keeping so that does not matter. (However, I would love to know if you have a guess )It has pink skin, a reddish head, silver back, and as a chick it had a yellowish belly, but...
