Two days ago my 2 roosters got into a nasty fight. The smaller of the 2 was moderatly injured on his comb and waddle. the other roo had taken chunks out of the comb and he was lucky not to be missing an eye. It wasnt bleeding horribly and he seemed to be fine, so we left him alone. Now this...
I have a young roo that looks alot like yours. Mine is from a K5 hatching project and I don't know anything about the mixes kept at the farm that provided our eggs. Another member had posted a similar roo and referred to the "patented" Black Rocks that they look very similar to. Here's mine...
WOW!
Kudos to you, girl! I'm bookmarking this for DH to take a look at. We may have to come for a visit and see your girls after they move in! You've done a great job. We'll be starting on ours after next week's vacation since it looks like I'll be in the market for some pullets. My...

I'm so sorry for your further heartache! The coons come to knock at my door out here. They like to eat with our cats, so I know that I have to make our coop super safe. And snakes galore too like Joy said. When you have a small flock, it can be wiped out in such a horrible moment. We...
Thanks for the encouraging me to come out guys! (Mom says "NOT!")
Now she's wondering what to do with two "pet" roosters and no hens. Maybe this is chicken math.
My post is updated to ask what kind of chicken I might be.

Here's my 9 week old spoiled boys having their AM dairy fix this morning.
GOT YOGURT?
I've been wanting to get a picture of their milk mustaches!

Diane, I'm sorry that you lost one of your girls! I know that we have so many varmints around that would like to have a chicken. We're going to build our coop like a safe. Right now our two are still living in their exended brooder in the garage.
Speaking of which, I'm thinking...
Hi ya'll,
My name is Peppy or Pepe' for those of the French persuasion.
My adopted chick'nmama always told me that I'm a Black Star or Black Sex Link pullet. When her friend who attended my hatching saw us, she thought that's what my little family was. So my mom looked and looked at all of the...
And I thought I was crazy:
The other day, my 8 week old cockeral was trying to start his usual conversation from the garage while I was in the kitchen. When he crows we look out and talk to him, probably the start of future grief. Anyway, right on the tail of his juvenile voice changing...
You'll find lots of helpful people here with lots of knowledge and love for chickens. I'm a newbie too and I've been trying to ID a cockeral that I got from a school hatching project. I didn't have to post too many times before I could upload a picture to this thread. We'll be looking for Fluffy.

I'm nearby too, just a little farther south toward Woodruff than Joy, on Reidville Rd. I'm also a new to this board and a new chicken mom. We just have two pets adopted from a K5 hatching, a Amber link cockeral (I think) and a Black Star pullet that are 10 weeks old.
Did you make...
I soooo know what you mean. We are in upstate SC where that storm visited after it left your house, I think! (If it was the Wednesday night storm that brewed up that way)! We had fifteen or more trees down or broken. Some of them probably 60 - 70 ft. tall. One took out a bedroom window. Five...
Tiffany and other upstate pals,
Glad to hear you guys survived that crazy storm so well. We didn't get off lightly but we're safe and it's all fixable.
Has anyone heard from Joy? I know that we're close and there's alot of damage here (Hwy. 296, the Reidville Rd. or Bennett's Bridge Rd. area...

I'm a newbie too.
I'm close to Reidville, but I grew up in Woodruff/Enoree area. I still go to church at Antioch Baptist on Hwy. 221 toward Enoree. I'll be there tonight - VBS, boy am I bushed today! I have friends who live in the Gray Court area and kids that I know in school there...
Codymax2,
She's beautiful! And she looks like a sister to our two roos
My vote is with you
I guess only time will tell for sure. We'll all have to compare pictures again at the end of the summer and see how they look.
Thanks,
Donna
I see what you mean. His coloring looks alot like our roo. His tail is almost identical. I can see the buff coloring around his neck too. How old is he? Ours was an unknown when hatched. He was in a bunch of incubated eggs gotten from a local farmer. Alot of the chicks were black sex links...
