I've got a handful of roosters I would like to sell. They are giant cochins, a few that are solid red, and few that are mainly red with some black tail feathers. The black feathered roo's are still pure giant cochin, but they are of a red hen and a black cochin rooster. They were all incubated...
Gloria has been getting ready! Getting RED wattels and comb! Now squatting in front of meeee!!! Yay!!! Hoping to be getting my 1st egg soon! She is an astralorp so no surprise she will be the 1st!
One of my girls just gave us this egg- this has never happened before, we were able to wash the red off. Should I be concerned? What can cause this? What should I do?
I got my rooster from tractor supply about a year ago and he was supposed to be a buff orphington but isn’t. He is bigger than my 8 pound rooster and is only a year old.
For two years my chicken has always lost her feathers. I've seen her pick at them a few times. She is very small and can occasionally get picked on. Not too long ago did noticed that she had mites and we were able to get rid of them. She finally had quite a few growing until today. It seems like...
Some time ago I saw an article about Red Ancona in Australia, I loved the look of them but obviously as there were none in the UK, I set about drawing up plans of making my own, the pics are far from what I’m aiming for as a end result but I’m proud of what I’ve achieved so far.
I have read that I shouldn't use red zip ties and I get the reason why. Has anyone had problems with using pink zip ties or bands with the chickens pecking at them?
Hi! I’m new to chickens and definitely wasn’t expecting to keep a rooster. Since we did I’ve enjoyed the comfort of knowing he’s with them when they are free ranging. I have 5 hens and 1 rooster. My hens are Barred Rocks and ISA Browns and my rooster is a Bantam Silkie. I kept him because I...
My nearly 1 year old Rhode Island Red/New Hampshire Red rooster, Pierce, is having another issue. We got past the frostbite this past winter, and its been between 40-85 degrees here this whole month.
I saw today that aside from a few little tiny black dots on his comb, he now has a large black...
I currently have a pair of Blue Laced Red Wyandotte Chickens that I would like to have purebred offspring, and crossbred offspring from. I have 10 Cream Brabanter chicks that will be coming in the mail sometime in April. I was thinking it would be neat to develop a new color of the very rare...

Two out of my three full grown hens are both going through a molt. Both also have quite pale combs, while the one who isn't molting has a bright red comb. Is this normal or should I be worried?
This is my first time owning chicks and I am being very over protective (I am 14 years old and raising chickens with a bit of help from my parents) we have 4 Pekin chicks and we bought them when they were 2 weeks old (They are now approximately 5 weeks old) None of them has had problems since...

I have a production red hen that has lost feathers on her rump around her vent. She has been acting normally eating, running around, laying ect. I felt it and it was a little warm and it felt kind of dry. Haven't seen anything like that on my other two hens. If someone could give me some advice...
