Hello all, brand new chicken Mama here.
I just hatched 2 Rhode Island White chicks 6 days ago. On the first day, I vaccinated them with New Castle (ND) Hitchner B1, in the form of eye drops, everything went well.
On the fourth day, I vaccinated them again using ND La Sota (eye drops) and since...

I'm a new chicken keeper, my first chickens are Brahma. I got them mid September 2023, so it has been 2 months of wonderful experience for me.
Now I own 6 Brahmas, and 2 Rhode Island White chicks...
This is a chicken I am thinking about buying to put in with my Rhode Island Red hens. Just trying to figure out what breed it but all the pictures I’ve found are similar so I’m not sure and these are the only pictures she has sent me. Any help would be great.
Hi everyone,
- My name is Boyd from Boyds Outdoors. I have my own flock of chickens since I was 12 year old. My coop is the "Overflowing Coop" I have off and on approximately 200-300 chickens. Bantams and regular chicks. I hatch my own eggs together with some hens. Mainly Orpingtons and a couple...
So I got four none pure breed Rhode Island reds form this woman a couple months ago and I need help sexing them. They're about four months old, two of them are two weeks younger.
I was told one of them is most likely a rooster but he looks pretty much the same as his twin sister. He does have a...
I have a rooster that is white, has a very very light yellow straw color on neck and saddle.
Any idea breed? Maybe bad quality Rhode Island White or white Orpington or white Rock?
I have a pure bred black Australorp hen with him and their chicks are huge! Like really big!
Any help would be...
Hello, everyone!
We know for sure that the father of the RSL is a rhode island red rooster.
This poll is about the mother of the commercial red sex links of the big companies.
I know for sure that the maternal stock of the sex links has the following characterists:

We got our chicks in the beginning of September so they are now a little over 2 months old. One of them looks and acts a little like a rooster. As comparison I also added a picture of another RIW and one with both of them together. I researched their breed and looks like even the pullets get a...
I was originally told that these hens were cinnamon queens (RIR x RIW), but now looking at other pics of cinnamon queens, they don't look the same as others. They are just over a year old and lay eggs almost daily.
I am a retired laboratory technician that recently downsized into a smaller home with my husband of forty-six years. With our three children now away with families of their own, we opted for a more simple life.
I’ve often thought of starting a small hobby farm so in the spring of 2017 I...

A little background:
I have a "cherry egger" (New Hampshire/RIR cross) rooster and 9 hens. The hens are RIW(6) and Golden Comet/Cinnamon Queen(3) (whatever you choose to call them). I took 4 eggs to my neighbor because she had a broody cochin and I wanted to see if she would hatch out any...
Hi, so we have 2 white hens, (one is my avatar, actually) and I've been searching the web to see if they were Plymouth rocks or RIWs, I'm leaning towards rocks since RIWs are apparently pretty rare. I've also read some people say that they can only have a rose comb, or either one, so I figured I...
