    Any females in the attached photos?

    Hi, We have raised these chickens since around 2 to 3 weeks and they are now around 13 to 15 weeks old. They all appear to have male characteristics and we hear the odd masculine sounding noises but no crowing. Is there any hope there are some females among them?

    Pullets fighting???

    So I have 6 pullets that are almost 6 months old. 2 Easter eggers, 1 jersey giant, 1 golden laced Wyandotte, 1 barred rock, 1 buff Orpington. Only the barred rock lays, and she just started a couple days ago. They are all definitely females, but recently they have been fighting a lot! This has...

    Is there a way to break this?? I will probably go out there once dark sets and toss them all in but I don’t want this becoming a habit I live in the woods and with winter approaching predators are looking for a extra food! 😬 Side note: the guineas pick and choose when they go in it’s a gf/bf...

    First egg from hen - not very tasty??

    Hi all, My birds free range, although they have been confined to their run the last week to let a food plot germinate (they were eating all the seeds). My Isa brown started laying, but when we tasted her egg(hard boiled), it was not great. My neighbors eggs taste amazing and his birds don’t...

Could they still be RIRs or are they something else? Big Red and Penny are around 11 weeks old Sid is around 9 weeks old Got them all...

    Bobcats love my Pullets

    Once my new flock was discovered it was KFC for the bobcat. So I locked up the girls. Did you know chickens can get depressed? They sure were after they couldn’t roam anymore. When picking berries they were right there to get any I dropped. I’ve had chickens before. In the 1970s and again...

    3 Mystery Breeds

    Picked up 16 chicks today, 10 of which were assorted breeds (pullets). I got 3 different breeds, one of which I identified as Dominique (another which was just completely yellow, I suppose they could be literally anything) Here's the last breed: Any thoughts?

    My ISA Brown pullets are 16 weeks old. When can I expect them to start laying?

    My small flock of 4 ISA Brown pullets just turned 16 weeks old today! Does anyone know when I can expect them to start laying eggs? One of them squats when I pick her up, if that means anything. Thanks for any help!

    Help! Care suggestions for young pullets needed!

    I am unable to find detailed information about how to take care of pullets. Do you treat them like chicks? or like adults? I just had 3 young pullets delivered yesterday, about 6-8weeks old. They are fully feathered and "coop" ready. I am not integrating them with my other two adult hens yet...

    Mental Impact of Fox Attack?

    Hello, About a week ago I lost 4 of my 6 chickens (pullets) to a fox attack. I am trying to replace them ASAP so the other 2 are not too lonely, although they seem extremely bored and a bit different than before. For example they crave attention a lot more and come running much quicker than...
