I have 4 approximately 8-week-old hens, but I want to know when my hens will start laying eggs. Please also keep in mind my hens are Rhode Island Red hens. Thanks for your precious time!
I have 10 hens, and they’re about 7 months old. I was getting eggs from just about all of them daily, and for the last few days they’ve all just stopped laying. I’ve gotten about four eggs total in the last four days. It’s definitely getting colder here, could that be the reason, or is it...
Decided to go ahead and post my flock :)
I have 6 salmon faverolles, 3 rhode island reds, one mille fleur d'uccle and one gray d'uccle
Here's my rooster, named Father Time, he's the mille fleur d'uccle bantam
Here's my favorite salmon faverolle, named Ruby, she had some sort of respiratory...
Hey Everyone, we are pretty new to chickens and were wondering about breeding. We have a lavender orpington rooster. We have heard that a lavender would produce black offspring. Our hen breeds are golden laced wyandotte, silver laced wyandotte, rhode island red, butf brahma, gold sexlink, and...
Hi
I have two beautiful Rhode Island Red hens. They are 2.5 years old. They live in 4-hen coop in the backyard of my MIL's house currently. I got them while we were living with the parents and had since moved to a new place this summer. My mother in law is very fond of the hens and she tried...
Hi all,
I’m fairly new to this community and I was hoping to have some more experienced eyes look at my chooks who I’m worried may be roosters (unable to keep them on residential properties in my area). They’re about 12 weeks old now and I haven’t heard any crowing yet, but due to colouration...
This handsome Rhode Island Red has been living at our cabin since July. I'd love to adopt him but live in the city and can't have a rooster. He's shy but not aggressive, and must be pretty clever surviving in the woods for this long. I'm willing to deliver him anywhere in mid/northeast Ohio...
Hi back again to ask (lol)...Any ideas on if these Rhode Island Red chickens are Roosters or Hens? Any help would be great! We have had a few eggs so far. (There are two marked with purple band) I think the green band one has laid an egg but I thought it was a rooster. Just caught it in the...
Hi everyone! I’m new to BYC and to chickens. In May I got 6 Rhode Island reds, and I’m wondering if these two are hens or roosters? They are both 16 weeks old
The first three are one chicken and the last two are another. I’m open to any suggestions because I’m not really sure.
Thanks for helping!
I purchased three random grab-bag day old chicks to put under a broody hen that I had. One of them looks like your typical Easter egger, the other two are kind of a mystery to me. I contacted their breeder and she said they found out a couple of weeks ago that their chicks had more genetic...
