A wire dog crate that I made sides for and a small hardware cloth run coming off of it. Well, I put the final touches on it thus afternoon and planned on moving my broody...

    Nearly 4 weeks now and think we have a definite Roo!

    Well the chicks are nearly 4 weeks as the title says and they are really filling out especially the Pekins! Nugget (the more yellow one) is as bold as brass, seemingly fearless. Kiev (the more reddish one) is more timid and cuddly of the two. Heihei is the GLW who's feathering so much...

    Help with my Roo

    I need some help. I got some cochin bantams from a breeder that does AI only. My question is...will the roo breed the hens naturally? He has never been in the same pen with hens to breed. Will his instincts kick in? Anyone had any similar situations?

    Help determining breed (and gender?)

    Hello! I'm having trouble determining the breed of one of my eight week old chicks. :,) Based on hours of research, I believe she's a female silver penciled cochin, maybe mixed at the very least, but I'm honestly not 100% on that. Any input? If needed, I can get better pictures of her, I just...

    Hen tipping over

    I have a hen that keeps tipping over. Only to one side. She can stand and walk some but if she tips over its hard for her to get upright again. It’s sort of like she can’t get her foot up under her. I right away thought the worst and started checking for symptoms of merek’s. She does not have...

    Greetings fellow chicken people! I started raising chickens last spring, but I’m used to chickens from my in-laws farm. I keep mine most as pets and for eggs, so far we are getting very few eggs.

    Chicks Suddenly Dead

    Hello all. One of my cochin bantams became broody so we allowed her to hatch out a few eggs fertilized by our silkie rooster. She hatched three and they have been doing quite well with her out in the coop. Most days we shut the mama up in the coop with the little ones with their own food and...

    I am thinking pullet but want other opinions. Early on I thought she was blue laced red (with pencilling?).... now I have no clue. Is she blue laced red? Blue and red partridge? Mottled? Some combination of all of the above? Also, is she even a she? I was told she was a cochin/sablepoot mix...
