I have a flock of ten week old chicks. One is a pullet five are cockerels (never buying straight run again). I have to get rid of the cockerels I can’t keep them due to city laws. I have a flock of four three week old pullets. I am trying to introduce the young pullets to the bigger flock. My...
1) What type of bird, age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
One is an australorp, the other is an easter egger; they are about 8 weeks old.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
One eye (the other seems fine) is runny, and they tend to keep them closed...

So I have a small flock, if you can consider it a flock, it was 4 strong but I lost 2 over the past couple months, the two left are well established and healthy, I bought three pullets sometime ago and I’m trying to ease them into the main run and coop, they have a section that’s cornered off so...
Hi,
I am interested in purchasing 8-10 pullets (see list below), I don't have the set up for chicks, so I need older ones that can go through this Florida winter minimum 6 weeks old.
I am looking for all or any combination of: Australorp, RIR, Plymouth Rock, Barred Rock, Leghorn. I went with...
I have a few mixed breed pullets. Not expecting anyone to have a difinitive answer, but any ideas what these guys are mixes of? I have some very unique girls! I'm assuming a lot of these are Easter Eggers. I have a few guesses myself and will include them at the top of the pictures :) The...
Hi,
So I was hoping someone could give me an estimated time frame in which these chicken breeds start laying. I know the general rule that is seen most often is between 18 to 24 weeks, but that's not a true statement for different breeds of chicken. Various breeds have different time frames. So...
So I have some old laying hens and I just moved my 8 month old pullets in their coop not long ago. All the old ones are hunched up and the younger ones all are normal + energetic. Does anyone know what the issue may be with the older ones?
Hello lovely chickie farmers! I am quite baffled and would like to know if anyone heard of this or something similar. My partner and I got a small flock of three Swedish flower chickens (two hens one rooster), mix between Swedish flower and Barred roc, and a Barred roc hen. We finally got...
Hello!
I’ve got four jersey giants that are 18 weeks old. One of them matured very quickly, she’s had a big comb and wattles for a few weeks, bright red. And today, she layed an egg!
My question is, should I be concerned about any reproductive problems with her, since she is starting laying...
Introducing our gamebird/ayam/leghorn crosses, we have three available: two cockerels and one pullet, 4 months old.
The pullet has no signs of mulberry in comb or wattles, one Cockerel also is not mullbery-ing. One Cockerel has partial mulberry on his comb but not his wattles. They are all...

Hello all,
I am seeking help and advice on how and when to properly introduce my mature, free range rooster (more info in this thread on how we "accidentally" acquired him) to young hens (currently pullets), currently housed in an enclosure/coop.
Please bear with me, as I know this is a long...
My family member bought like 10 chickens from some guy online. They were delivered to us and they were all low energy, pale a droopy combs. There are four left and this is the condition they’re in right now. The rest of them died. Is this an illness I can treat or did we get old dying hens?
The...
Has anyone tried to pick out certain eggs in order to get more or only pullets (hens or females)?
I'm testing this out.
I pulled out the eggs that looked pointed and kept the roundest eggs under my broody hen.
They started hatching yesterday and I hope this experiment works. Have you tried...
Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and my family just got our first flock of chickens! I'm really excited but it's an odd situation. Basically a family friend had to give away four Silkie hens due to city regulations and we were able to take them in. She also went to a poultry swapand surprised...
Five pullets, second night as a chicken keeper. Night #1 I had to grab each girl and put her in the coop by hand, and I sat there until the auto-door closed. A little stressful for all of us.
So I did my internet sleuthing and read that putting a small light inside the coop before dusk will...
