I do have some noisy birds but I don't think they are doing the song yet.. My rooster does let out a funny squawk, a repetitive sound, for about a minute or so. At first I thought it was a hen but it was him.. Like a cross between a goose honking and a chicken bocking.. Any one know what that...

Um.. what is the egg song? I have heard a lot of noises coming from my birds.. but the eggs song.. I don't know.. Here is a pic of our Red (Goldie), Buff Orp/Black Polish Mix Hens (Thing 1, and Mini.. Thing 2 is behind Goldies head) and the Mix Roo (Slick). They are unique and beautiful...

Just found out the local feed store takes roosters. Apparently people come in asking for roosters.. Only one of the five will be dinner.. One is going to a good home, where he was created, we are keeping one and the other two going to the feed store.. I love how it all just fell into place. Now...

Hey all.. It is the animal lover inside me.. but you are right one rooster I will keep .. I call him Slick because his crest is literally slicked back and he and our Rhode Island Red (Goldie) seem to be really fond of each other. The fact that the hens being mounted to much might stress the...

So.. a little bit of info. We are new to raising chickens, my daughters kindergarten class hatched eggs for science. A friend of ours gave her class 9 fertilized eggs and a neighbor gave 3. In June we had 9 chicks come home with us. Eight of which were from the friend, half Buff Orpington, half...
