Hi everyone,
I know this is a long shot but I am looking to re-home 3 11 month roosters named the Earp brothers: Wyatt, Virgil and Morgan. I live near Lynchburg Tn. Please contact me if interested.
We got chicks in August. We ordered hens but ended up with two roosters. Up until recently things had been going well with everyone and the plan was to keep them both if we could. However, the two boys have started fighting. We've considered all of our options and have decided that if we can...
Hi everyone! New here all though I've been using BYC for a while for questions about my birds because it kept popping up on google lol,
I am raising chickens on my own for the first time all though I grew up on a farm till I was 13 so i do have a bit of background in poultry care lol

Hello!
Just wondering, for others in the UK, I’m looking at getting a little more ‘into’ breeding and am wondering which of the following breeds you’d recommend:
Wyandotte (I know it’s a common and popular breed, partially why I’ve included it, but I’d be looking at a rare colour)
Pekin...
Planning on ordering from them this year and wanted to know if anyone has ordered their hatching eggs and how your hatch was? Also if you had any casualties when ordering chicks?
Rooster is Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, but the hens were a mix of Rhode Island Reds/Blues, different varieties of Wyandottes, White Leghorn, Welsummers, Plymouth Barred Rock, Buckeye, and Golden Comet. Any ideas on pullet vs cockerel and/or breed/mix of each greatly appreciated! I'm mostly...
I am relatively new to chickens, only owning my own flock for about six months. I have taken care of them longer but I am excited to have my own!
My flock of nine consists of three silkies, two Buff Orphingtons, two Ameraucaunas, one Barred Rock, and one Blue Lace Wyandotte (my favorite).
I...
I am new to raising chickens. I grew up in So. Cal at the beach and when I was lucky enough to be around the occasional horse corral growing up I loved the chickens and goats more than the horses... . Now I live in a place that allows chickens and I have a great supportive man in my life that...
I’m planning on ordering hatching eggs from Dragonfly Farm in Beebe Arkansas, has anyone else on here ordered from there? What was your experience with them and what was your hatch rate? I really want someones opinion before I order from them. I also would really love to see pictures of the...
Approximately 21 weeks old (born July 6, 2020). This gorgeous silver laced Wyandotte rooster needs a new home. We have hens (and ordered this one as a hen, but sometimes they just don’t get it right). We can’t keep a rooster.
Would someone like to add him to their flock? He’s crowing, but...
Hello everyone! We started our chicken family back in mid June. We have 2 silver lace wyandotte, 4 midnight majesty maran hybrids, 3 Isa Browns and 4 California Whites. I saw my Betty lay her FIRST egg 2 days ago and it was a double yolk! I knew to watch her because she was being VERY vocal. She...
Hi everyone, I have a 5 month old red laced Wyandotte rooster for free rehoming in CT. I can’t keep him since I already have 3 other roosters. He hasn’t shown any aggression towards humans and watches over his pack of hens diligently. He’s from Meyer Hatchery and is vaccinated for Mareks. Please...
Hi everyone!
I have a 5 week old Wyandotte and am not sure what sex it is. It is pretty and friendly but it's comb has just started turning pink. Does that mean it's a roo or is it still too early to tell?
Thanks!!
I have 3 golden laced wyandottes, 2 easter eggers, a buff orpington, and a black australorp. They are just over 20 weeks now and have been on their new layer feed since about 18 1/2 weeks (mixed with their old food for a week to avoid digestive issues). I'm just wondering if there are any clues...
Hello all!
I decided to join the forum because so many times over the last few months when I google topics regarding chickens, something on this forum pops up. So I figured why not go right to the source.
Last November, we purchased our homestead located on 13 acres and one of our first...
picked up a silver Wyandotte and a buff orp yesterday to add to my three original girls who are almost 2 yrs old. Lost one of my brahmas last week due to unknown cause- it was always a little off so maybe there was always something wrong with her. Sad. The Wyandotte has quickly become the...
Hi!
I have a beautiful Wyandotte but am unsure of the gender, I was pretty sure it was a hen as the previous Rooster I had tried to mate with her a few times. However, once I sold my Rooster this one started to crow regularly and is now acting more like a rooster then a hen, Lucy is 18 weeks...
