Hello my old hen sat on some eggs and they hatched out at the end of february. Im horrible at sexing leghorns, i was sure this was a roo but i don’t see any saddle feathers but hackle feathers show otherwise, and today they started crowing? Pretty sure its a cockerel, can anyone confirm if i was...
Hi guys!
Several months ago one of my white leghorn chicks got paralyzed and I'd like to tell her story. Maybe it will inspire somebody not to lose hope :)
*** Sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker.
I have a country house where we keep chicken. We don't live there, and it's 10min on...
Hey all! So we transported our chicks to our coop a week ago and they are loving their new home and their new run. We have an open run that is heavily shaded and we let them out almost the whole day for the first time yesterday. I am a stay at home mom and am here most of the time and check on...
I got her from meyers. She is about 3.5 months and she was a in one of the mixed hen categories ( I can't remember the actual name for it) but I have never figured out her breed for certain. I'm thinking she's an exchequer leghorn. p.s. I just really love the second picture lol. Also, if she is...
All taken at 5 weeks. I have a feeling it’s a roo but leghorn females can also have huge combs so I don’t know if I can just go by that trait. Although I’m 90% sure it’s a roo. :(
Hello everyone!
My name is Emily, I'm 29 (30 in june!), I'm from Oakland county Michigan, and I'm new to the chicken community. We recently bought our first house and are expecting our third child at the end of March, we have just started looking into chickens and quails for our new home. And im...
I need help :( over the last two or so days I’ve noticed my White Leghorns wings have been drooping and she keeps falling asleep in the middle of the day, and just overall doesn’t look great. I’ve been finding one egg nearly everyday that doesn’t have a hard shell… I’d say for probably the last...
Hey all! With the colder weather approaching, a couple of my girls are going through some pretty gnarly molting. One of my Easter eggers hasn’t been laying for the last couple weeks(I know this because she is the only one out of 16 chickens who lays very light brown eggs) due to her molt. Two...
My husband purchased birds at tractor supply and he bought leghorns. I think it is just a really healthy leghorn lol My husband thinks she is a meat bird now. What do you think our chicken is?
Hi all!
So my ladies all got killed by a fox attack about a month ago. The sole survivor of the attack was my Leghorn Rooster who defended as best he could with the other rooster, our beloved creamy legbar who sadly died also.
So Avalanche(our only remaining rooster) was left with bites and a...
I have two white chickens that I was told were erminettes when I got them at 4 weeks old. Clearly they don’t have the erminette markings but I didn’t notice any of the other so called erminettes having the splash colouring either. Wondering if that’s really what they are or if they’re just...
I have a presumably leghorn or some sort of mix of it, rooster which is weaker and frailer than the other chickens his age. They're all about 4-5 months. I feed them chicken feed mixed with some cracked corn. It's not that he doesn't eat, infact he eats a lot. His crop gets full, like a ball...
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
She is a 18 week old, pearl white leghorn. Not laying yet. She feels very very thin compared to the others
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
She wouldn't come out of the coop this morning...
My leghorn is slowly driving me round the bend. She is broody and I cannot seem to break it. She has now pulled all the feathers out under her. We don't own a cockerell and there are no eggs under her. She is moved out of the nesting box and locked away from it regularly. She has been given...
Good morning! I was wondering when did everyone’s girls start to lay? I have two Rhode island reds, two prairie bluebell easter eggers, and two light bramahas that are 16 weeks and I have a buff orpington, white leghorn, and americana easter egger that are 8 weeks. This is my first personal...
