Read through the thread and give a BIG THUMBS UP to the boys you think deserve it and scroll past the ones that you don't like. "LIKES" MATTER! THAT IS HOW...
I’ve heard 1 to 10 is a standard ratio currently raising 11 chicks who are “pullets” from TSC but we know how that may turn out lol i am also getting 2 light Brahma coop ready pullets in June bringing the total to 13 so will I need more than one Roo? How many roosters have you been able to keep...
I know silkies are hard…however, the breeder is helping us out next week with rehoming some of our cockerels as we are unfortunately looking at 4 of our 7 chickens being male so far.
So, I’m hoping to get opinions on the remaining 3 (all silkies) we haven’t been able to nail down. They are...
Hi. We have five 11-14 week old chickens in question. I’m really hoping to be able to keep at least a few but it’s seeming like many of them are turning out to be cockerels…
These are the chickens I’d like to get opinions on:
1. Brahma
2. Smaller white silkie
3. Black silkie. Second white...
Hi I’ve bought some liquid vitamin b12 for my cockerel - how much should I give him and should I dilute it in water - If so how much liquid per ml of vitamin b12
Thank you
My 19 week old Australorp “pullet” is starting to get some VERY saddle-looking saddle feathers compared to the other two pullets (all hatch-mates). I thought she was a pullet for sure, given the three other hatch mates that turned out to be cockerels were very distinctly cockerels by 8 weeks...
Our cockerel named Tidbit is around 6-7 months old and has already been a timid boy. I assume he sees me as top 'rooster' so he stays as far as he can away from me whenever I'm out spending time with the flock or feeding them.
However recently he has started enticing the dogs to run at the fence...
Hi all,
Okay so I know it’s too early to know for sure buuuut I have a couple of Belgian D’uccle chicks that my broody hen has been raising . I bought them as day old sexed chicks from a very reputable breeder that I’ve purchased multiple chicks from in the past and the sexing had been 100%...
Hello all! :cool:
I have several 6 week old chicks that I'm raising. Two of them are White Leghorns, and I have zero prior experience with this breed so I was hoping some of the peeps on here could help me figure out the gender of them! I know they're still young so it might be difficult for...
Hi I have rescued a cockerel that was abandoned - he had been attacked but his neck is recovering very well and he seems much better in himself. I have noticed recently that he has yellow coming from top of his tail feathers - looks a bit bald this patch so I’m thinking it could be a wound from...
Looking to re-home my Barred Rock rooster, just hatched end of June. He just started crowing last month and has started to get aggressive toward my small children. Has been fed organic grain and free ranged in the yard. Located in Owego, NY, he is free but I cant transport him.
This BJG is 15 wks. She has lots of color and size in her comb and wattle. Does that mean she’s a he? Otherwise, she has a sweet personality. I’m not good at identifying saddle feathers. To me, it doesn’t look like she has any pointy ones.
I have a four month old Icelandic cockerel I would like to find a good home for. He was hatched in July from eggs I bought from David at Whippoorwill Farm. Sadly, I live in town and cannot keep him and since he crows regularly, he's not likely to sneak under the notice of my neighbors for long...
Hi all, I’m driving myself crazy trying to guess the sex of my chicks! I have 3 x 4.5 week old orpingtons and 1 x 3.5 week old Araucana. Can you tell if they are pullets or cockerels?
