    Red sex link

    Amazing red sex link mom!!! The fertile eggs comes from two red sex link parents! The rooster was a mistake as he is red and not white so he was mistaken as a pullet at first! (Which saved his life) 😱 One of the chick is white!!! 😍 Even from two dark red parents!!! Any chance it’s a male? Since...

    12 week old gender

    Was told they were a gold star which I know to be a specific "brand" of red sex links. The other one I got is pretty much a solid red. I'm thinking hen but there is a bit of color in the comb and waddles. When she was a chick, her down was pretty light so I was convinced that she was a roo but...

    Silkies and Red Sex links- can they co exist?

    We have 12 silkies that are 7/8 weeks old. We have older hens in a different coop that give us almost enough eggs for our consumption. The silkies were for egg supplementation but also because they are my favorites. We are not sure what roosters to hens ratio is and are looking to supplement...

    Straining to poop, small prolapsed vent

    One of my (3 week old) chicks seems to struggle with big (painful) poops and currently is slightly prolapsed. I’ve witnessed her having a large poop, and “cheep cheep cheeping” like there’s discomfort, so I’m of the mindset that she’s straining from that, not heat? However I know I read...

    Introducing new birds to an unestablished flock

    In the spring I will be receiving 6 RSL hens and two weeks later will be introducing 6 Orpingtons to the flock. My coop is currently empty and I've cared for both breeds before but have never had to introduce new chickens. Most introduction methods talk about established flocks however I'm sure...

    Feed

    Hey there! I read an article a while ago about feeding laying hens grower feed with oyster shells/eggshells on the side instead of layer crumble because layer feed lacks the animal proteins needed for chickens to thrive as well as all-around diversity. I read that laying hens do best on 20%...

    Breeding Red Stars

    We have a few red stars and a beautiful rooster. I understand they’re hybrids but I’m unsure about breeding. If we hatch their eggs what breeds will we get?

    Zoe1103 introduction!

    Hi, I’m Zoe. Hopefully I’m doing this right it was a bit confusing! I have 4 welsummer pullets, almost 26 weeks now. They’re still not laying, but I have a feeling one is closing in maybe. We also have a cuckoo maran and a red sex link (both hens). They’re in a 64 sq ft coop and run, attached by...
