I recently got a new hen. She isn't much younger than my other ones, she's healthy and still peeping- But the other ladies didn't accept her. I figured that. She's a different color, but I have a mixed flock, AND the others I have came from a mixed flock as well. The same flock, by the way. I...
I got this hen today, but I don't know exactly what she is. The lady I got her from had a LARGE variety of chickens. She's a honey-golden color with green legs. (And don't worry, she's sleeping in that one picture, lol.)
I've had her since she was a week old, but have no idea what breed she could be because my mum randomly bought her home from work alongside a barred rock rooster. I don't know if this will help, but she has a bit of an aggressive personality and sometimes picks fights.
She is around 18 weeks...
I have a pullet (20 weeks old) not laying yet, been panting very heavily for 2 or 3 days now. It’s not hot here so I don’t think it’s heat stroke.
Her poops are normal, crop and body feels normal? No eye swelling or anything weird. Her comb flushes really red and then goes back pale, but she’s...
These are RK pullets… or are supposed to be 😂 they were sold as buff Brahma pullets and they all looked the same when I got them but now that they’re feathered there’s obvious differences. Are they still all considered buff Brahma? Also, is the one with the red comb a roo?
I have a pullet who’s got a rough, black bump on her comb. It’s pretty large, however looking through some old photos, and it seems like she’s had black on that part of her comb, since she joined us back in July of this year and the black spot is larger because her comb is(including photos from...
This flighty chick was 2 weeks when I got her, as a Brown Leghorn. Obviously it’s not a Brown Leghorn and I’m not exactly sure what she is or truly a pullet. I have a Brown Leghorn pullet.
Roughly 12 - 14 weeks old.
Here are some pics
I have three French Cuckoo Marans who are 16 weeks old. I thought by now it would be perfectly obvious which sex they are. To me (newbie) they look like girls, but the behavior of one makes me think it’s gotta be male.
At 16 weeks anyone think one is possibly a roo?
Hey BYC, I’ve got a couple questions. I just had to swap my cockerel out for a pullet. She’s being quarantined. The problem is she, along with the rest of the chickens at the farm I got her at, don’t particularly like human touch. She looks to be about 9-10 weeks old, an ISA brown & leghorn mix...
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...
