    Rooster or Hen....

    I’ve recently added 4 pullets to the chicken family. We got two pairs from two different breeders. Two of my girls are no doubt hens, but the other two are beginning to be a little questionable. I got these two from the same breeder, who told me they were the same age. I think my Ameraucauna...

    Feed Store Amerucaunas - Trouble sexing?

    So these are my first city chickens, we aren't "allowed" roosters in the city limits but took a chance on TSC straight run Amerucaunas.

    My chickens are all probably about 6 weeks old, and most of them have nice, soft and sleek feathers. A few of them have feathers that look unkempt, like they haven't been groomed. Is there anything I can do to help their feathers become more healthy? Attached there is one pic of a bird with the...

    How long does it take for a small scrap to heal

    My 6wk old mille fleur d’uccle got a small scrap on the top of her foot. I cleaned her up, and she seems to be doing just fine. For the next few days or so; I'll be keeping a close eye on her. How long should she take to heal?

    Gender of 6 week old Wyandottes?

    My husband and I recently got our first chickens together! I had a rooster as a child and have worked on a farm caring for chickens (including chicks) in the past. However, I've never had to sex them before! My husband grew up in the city and had never seen a chicken up close. We wanted to buy...
