    Chicken acting strange

    I have an 18 week old cockerel who was acting weird. I walked outside and it almost seemed like I startled him he jumped up and ran forward then seemed a little disoriented and started walking backwards a few steps. He then shook all the dirt from his feathers (he was in the dust bath) and...

    How many eggs should I expect a week?

    I have 3 BO's and they are 18 weeks old. How many eggs should I expect a week? Also, I haven't seen them go into the nesting boxes once by themselves. So when should I expect the ladies go and try out the nesting boxes? I have fake eggs in the boxes but they still show no interest yet.

    2 dead...what to do?!?!

    This morning I thought my 18 week old glw was going to lay her first egg. She was hunched down and actually coming near me and letting me pet her and normally she looks at me and likes to run away. When I got back from my doctors appointment she was dead. I go to clean her up and my 8-10 week...

    Limping Chick (18 weeks). Scaly leg mites?? Treatment if so?

    Either I am completely paranoid (fingers crossed) or I am having some very bad chicken luck lately. Have had a slew of issues (older birds that are 1&1/2 have had parasites (treated), and one dropped dead). I have a new batch birds now all about 18 weeks. One of them is limping. Does it look...

    4.5 month old... hen or rooster?

    I got this beautiful chicken from a guy who had too many and he said it was a hen. I've only ever had one rooster in my life, and I don't remember much about what he looked like growing from chick to cockerel (I was 10), but he had some great, vibrant colors, and reminds me a lot of this chicken...

    Pullet closing eyes while standing up. HELP!

    I was outside with my girls a couple hours ago and out of nowhere I noticed that my 18 week old Cochin was standing up and closing her eyes. I had already been with them an hour and she hadn’t done it, but once she started she keeps doing it. She isn’t dropping her head exactly, just drooping it...

    Pullet Surprise!

    At 18 weeks and 2 days, one of my Brown Leghorn pullets has blessed me with my first white egg! I'm so tickled! I've pictured it between the other two eggs I got today for comparison purposes. My older flock consists of EEs and BOs. And - it was in one of the nests, with the golf balls, so...

    Question about raising.

    Does anyone have any experience with training 18 week old chickens or about that age? How hard is it to train them once they get that old? I've trained 9 of my chickens but I started them when they were at the oldest of 4 weeks. I'm thinking of getting two 18 week olds soon but would like to...

    Rhode Island Reds: a few days shy of 18wks

    One of my hens this morning didn't rush out for food and water. She hung back inside the coop, and didn't come out right away. Then she went back inside a short time later. I was wondering if she might be getting ready to lay her first egg? She's squawking a little bit too.

    18 week old hen, injured leg?

    Hello everyone! My hen is an ayam cemani and is about 18 weeks old. I got her when she was about two weeks. We named her Diggs since that was her favorite thing to do as a chick and was the first one to start digging. She's very sweet and cuddly, so I was worried when I noticed my sweet hen was...

    Can't believe how much they've grown!
