Hi everyone! I posted these babies a few weeks ago? They’re now 11 weeks and have had so pecking issues. They’re two and both are getting their back feathers picked by other chicks. I HATE that! They get plenty of good food and water with lots of space! 182 sq feet of outdoor run area for 10, 11...
Hello there this is my 6 week old Brahma biggie! it’s my first time owning a Brahma chick and Im in love already! But struggling to work out if this little ones a pullet or a cockerel? And would appreciate any input and help!
My girls are 20weeks and 4 days and just last week I had at least one of them start laying but I think at least two now(light brahma and one of my rhode island reds). Both of their hips/bone structures were of a laying hen and wide enough and their wattles are super bright red. I heard one of...
I have a hen that's being broody, but not broody. She's a splash Brahma as far as I know.
She tidbits the other adult chickens over to her and finds scraps of food.
She does that higher-pitched momma cluck as she's walking around the yard.
She squawls at me if I get too close and fluffs up...
Hello,
Our Brahma hen has what looks like a scab on the top of her foot (black/brown area in the photos) with some redness and bleeding surrounding. Today, we noticed a wound on the side of her leg, just above the same foot. It seems like she has lost feathers where the scab currently is. She...
Is this a cockerel? We got 4 “Pullet” dark brahmas for my mom on Mother’s Day but recently have began to wonder if Krenna here is a boy. They’re about 6-7 weeks old
Hello,
I had a broody hen so decided to put some fertile eggs under her that I bought locally, 3 Sussex and 3 brahmas. Every one of them hatched except one brahma, and all is going well, the mummy takes very good care of them, even now after 6 weeks. They all developed nicely, and have all got...
Hi All,
First-time chicken keeper here, and I purchased a flock of 6 day-old "hens" from McMurray Hatchery, plus the one "mystery chick." I completely understand that sexing chicks is difficult, but I live in a subdivision and I am nervous that I'm ending up with more than the one possible roo...
Bought as a”pullet” was professionally sexed as a young bird but al I can see are saddle feathers... no eggs and no crowing yet.... am returning to breeder but I’d love anyone’s opinion as to whether there was any chance it could be a pullet as if it is I’d love to keep it... but can’t keep...
I am starting to think all the chicks I bought this year are male. Three are polish. One is a light Brahma and the other is a gold laced Wyandotte. Is there any hope that I have a hen?
We’ve got this buff Brahma chick and we don’t know if she’s a bantam or a standard, she came out of a mixed chick box so we’ve wondered.
She is 6 and a half weeks old
