Hi All,
Would appreciate some knowledge here, particularly if anyone else has Rhode Island Reds.
We're in the UK.
Ive attached some photos of our 6 month hen.
We got her at 3 months and she was sneezing occasionally. There were also some bubbles in her eyes.
Spoke to farmer we got her from, he...
Hi, All!
My sweet baby Rosemary has a voice like a goose who has been chain-smoking her whole life. It has been this way for a few weeks (my pullets are just turning 17 weeks old). The other chickens sound nothing like her. I'm including a link to a video (the longest I could get - she never...
The photo doesn’t quite give it justice, and I am unable to upload a video on the forum, but I came home this morning to find one of my pullets, nine weeks old, appearing to have a broke leg. She can stand and move, but the left leg looks to be very weak Yesterday she was fine and she appears to...
So my ten French Black Copper Marans are eight weeks old, got them in the mail on June 1st. I have two Cockerels with large red combs and copper feathering coming in and one started crowing. Now there are these to others that are looking like Cockerels, but have no copper in them yet. Is the...
I got my beautiful birds from a local farmer who guarantees hens. I’ve always had a feeling that this was a sneaky rooster, who has been growing bigger and faster than their sisters.
I wanted to ask your opinions before I bother the farmer, do you think this is a rooster?
Hi there BYC community, 3 weeks ago I bought 2 chickens from a private seller who said they were 8 weeks old and pullets. She advised they could be a mix of Barred Rock, Leghorn, Easter Egger and Ameracauna. Pullet 1 is named Sage and pullet 2 is Violet. A week ago, Sage weighed 135 grams...
I've had chickens for about 7 years, anywhere from 25 hens and a rooster form to 3 hens. I'm rebuilding my flock to about 10. I've had a wide variety of breeds because I like different colors of eggs. Also, different breeds have different personalities.
I just acquired 5 pullets and I think one...
I am freaking out.
I’ve had my doubts from the start, but I cannot own a rooster in my neighborhood.
Is this in fact a rooster?
17 week old “pullet” has been highly aggressive and mounting other hens. This morning has started full blown crowing.
I will attach some pics and hopefully a...
We have had 3 silkies chicks from day1
One confirmed roo, one we are 90% hen and then this guy. I have assumed roo from the beginning since he is our favourite and we can’t keep roosters. but I have some people saying hen. Please let me know if I have a vocal girl or if we need to find him a...
Hello,
I purchased this Blue Australorp from a local farm 2 days ago. She was listed as 12 weeks old, but to me she looks very small for 12 weeks. These pictures were taken when I got her. Does she look 12 weeks old? Thank you 😊
Anyone know what this bluebell Easter egger pullet will look like when she gets older? Or have any good guesses? Lol
first time seeing one so unique with silver/white/blue wings
We got some “Assorted Colour Layers” from Peavey Mart (TSC) and these two are really making me question if I should be referring to the group as “the ladies”. They are 6 weeks old. Potential breeds are: ,Cream Legbar, Easter Egger, Midnight Majesty Marans, Olive Egger, Prairie Bluebell Egger...
I’m about to have laying chickens and none have layed yet this morning I went outside and one of my EE is very vocal and going in and outside and I noticed a egg white mucus like substance on the coop ramp? Is this something like a disease or is she about to lay her first egg do chickens produce...
These may be too young to tell yet, but I figured I’d post anyway because there are drastic differences between the two, and they were hatched from the same parents, the same day!
Chick 1 is the red chick, whom I have a sneaking suspicion is a rooster. Hence, the red box. This chicken stands...
Hello All -
I'm looking for some guidance...
We started off with four chicks back in March, three of which ended up being roos. We got rid of two of the roos a couple of weeks ago and got a group of six pullets (around 7 or 8 weeks) that have been in quarantine until today. I placed the...
