    Breed and sex help please!

    Hello again all! My second batch of babies is about ready to be introduced to my other hens. They are all 5 weeks old and are all supposed to be pullets, however, I'm nervous about a couple as their combs are pretty large and are turning red (though it may be the breed). WHICH brings me to my...

    Olive egger/Rhode Island crossed to grey leghorn

    Last year we purchased a rooster that we thought was exceptionally beautiful and great attitude. He was the result of an Olive Egger rooster over a Rhode Island hen. He was thick in body, heavy feather with a short fat comb, thick legs. We then bred the rooster to our two grey leghorns, two...

    Fairy eggs!

    So one of my RIR pullets has been laying fairy eggs. First time finding this small of a chicken egg, even smaller than my bantam eggs. They look really cute although not much of a meal :p. I wonder when do they stop, guessing its just a hiccup in egg production. Heres a pic:

    Limping Hen - no other symptoms

    Hi all! I have a 2-3 year old RIR (I think) lady that I found standing still in the run last Sunday (Jan 16). Her left leg is on the ground but she will not put any weight on it to walk so she is mostly laying down or standing in one spot when I let her out of the dog crate. She does not hold...

    When to start feeding food/oyster shell for egg production

    My Rhode Island Red hen is 2 days away from 14 weeks(at least i’m pretty sure, if not 14 then 15). I noticed she started trying out the nesting boxes a few days ago but hasn’t squatted yet. I’m thinking she might be an early layer possibly and if so should I start her on oyster shells or feed...

    My 13week pullet is sitting in nesting boxes. Will she be an early layer?

    I’ll be honest this is my first personal flock, but I’ve help raise chickens plenty of times with my parents for eggs and meat. I wasn’t expecting any eggs or laying behaviors for at least a month or so but one of my Rhode Island Reds started sitting in the nesting boxes. Also her comb and...
