    Pullet at POL, will hen show her the ropes?

    I've got two birds - a BR hen that will be two in April and a Light Brahma pullet. The Light Brahma's face has been reddening and she just started squatting in the last week. She's about 6-7 months, so right on schedule. When our original two girls got to POL in 2020, we did *way* too much...

    When is a Barred Rock Hen Fully Grown?

    I know that it can take up to a year for hens to fully grow…But I was curious if my breeder bought Barred Rock Hens (born in June 2021) will be smaller than my TSC Barred Rock Hen (born in April 2021)? My TSC hen is very large, and her tail is almost completely upright. My breeder bought hen...

    Opinion on egg laying age - mixing two breeds.

    My title is probably vague as heck, but I've mixed some EE/Wyandottes, 4 month pullets currently, and I also have some Sapphire Gems that aren't laying yet, but are about 3.5-ish months, and also a Leghorn/Wyandotte mix, age unknown. The EE's I have that parented two of my pullets didn't start...

    Is my pullet POL?

    This is Rasputin (yes, that really is her name), my 16-week-old EE pullet. Over the past week or so her comb has really sprouted and taken a reddish coloring that none of the other pullers have. I don’t think she is a rooster as she has never once tried to crow and her feathers are all rounded...

    6 monthish buff sussex bald bum??

    as stated in my other posts we bought some POL chickens from a bit of a buckyard breeder., we have had them for about three weeks. The youngest died last night. I was wondering if it was normal for a buff sussex to be bald around the bum with some not very nice looking feathers. I was planning...

    POL

    I am so ready for these two 16 week golden comets to start laying! Their sisters, who are the same age, don’t look ready, but see how red and big the combs/wattles are on these! Come on, girls!

    Confused Broody?

    Hiya, This is "little fatty" She's a young Cuckoo Orpington Bantam, and this is her first season of laying. She seems to have got herself into a bit of a pickle, as she's been apparently "broody" for several weeks, but isn't actually sitting on any eggs. She lays in the nest box but doesn't sit...

    Golden Laced Wyandotte POL soon?

    So my GLW has started getting a really red comb and wattles the past couple weeks. It feels like every day she is getting a little more red and the comb/wattles are growing. She is about 19 weeks and I was curious if she could be getting ready to lay soon? I checked her pelvic bones and while...

    Lesion around POL's eye

    Wondering if anyone else had had a hen with this kind of skin lesion? The grey bald area had been present for a few months - doesnt seem to be bothering her but has been traumatised by another hen or possibly her a couple of times in last month or so. It now intermittently bleeds then scabs...

    Leghorns -19 weeks to first eggs

    Well, almost 20 weeks (had to recheck the records). 19 weeks and 6 days. These are Ideal Hatchery Leghorns and Ideal 236 birds. I know one egg is from a Leghorn. The second egg could be from 3 girls that are showing and acting the same. So, instead of 2 eggs like today, tomorrow could be 4...

    Will a hen recognise her chicks?

    Hi all! So I've got my first broody hen at the moment, and shes quite distressed. I own no roosters, so needless to say she isn't about to be a mummy! I've tried to break it and it worked temporarily but wore off. I will continue trying to help her but I worst comes to worst I will by a...
