    Chickens not laying yet... should I add supplemental light?

    I am new to raising chickens and picked up my four girls (2 Orpingtons, 1 Maran and 1 Brown Leghorn) from a local breeder in mid-May and was told they were approximately 6-8 weeks old. They had most of their feathers at the time. If that age was correct they should be about 6 months old now. The...

    How do you tell?

    Hi, I don't know if this is the right form or not. When I first started with chickens, I had 2 roos and 2 hens given to me, the lady that gave them to me had no idea how old they were. Is there any way to tell about how old a chicken is? And how old is too old to eat? We're thinking about...

    Breed and Age Question

    I built a coop this past spring and currently have two chickens and the past couple of days my flock has been getting a visitor. The chicken basically spends the entire day pacing back and forth on the outside of the run. We don't know if the guest chicken is from a neighbors flock or if it is...

    My Golden Comets. We got our first egg yesterday!

    Hi there! I’m in my first year of owning three awesome Golden Comets, Rose, Coop and R2-D2.(can you tell we let the kids name them? Haha.) We got them the weekend after Easter, and they’re all the same age, but I’m a bit confused. I’ve recently noticed that Rose has a nice sized red comb...

    I told myself not to ask buuuut...

    this is an Austra white. She has always been an Amazon compared to the rest. Her comb was big at 1 week not to mention her feet. now 6 weeks old I really fear she may be a roo. Anyone with experience with austra whites have any hen or roo photos I can compare at this age?

    Hellooo :) I thought it would be helpful (and fun?) to see the weekly growth / age progression of my chicks! I guess it could also help with sexing...This is going to be from day 1 to week 8 for five babies (2 silkies, 3 polish / silkie crosses) I also have 'weekly' photos of another silkie and...

    TRYING TO BE PATIENT WHILE WAITING FOR EGGS

    My pullets are now 19 weeks old. They are messing around in the nesting boxes, having sex with Black Bart the rooster and generally look pretty ready to lay. I can't wait! But I have to. Do you thing either of these girls look ready to lay to you? :fl

I bought them from a breeder but she has soooo many chicks running around at different ages I didn’t even ask and she was giving me an awesome deal already! What would your guess be...

    When to leg band?

    I'm planning on using numbered bandetts on my hens and roosters because my girlfriend and I are a little OCD on record keeping sometimes and also we have a few that look alike so. We are waiting to put on the adult size instead of changing them as they grow though. My question is at what age...

    Duck and chicken lifespans?

    Hi guys, I was wandering a duck site and a thought came in to my head, Do ducks or chickens live longer? I know that a healthy heritage breed chicken can live up to 12 years at the Most, So I searched up some duck stuff and different sites said different things, Like 5-10 Or 10-15 so I decided...

    Anyone know how old these guys (gals) are?

    Clearance at Countrymax got me. Haha $1 each. They were big then, and I'm guessing maybe 6 weeks old now? 5? But I really don't know. It's been 4 years since I had kitchen chickens (babies). Hoping to get 'em outta the kitchen asap. Any ideas? Cinnamon something or another (type of red sex...

    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...
