Today my wonderful, neurotic little tribe of dinos decided to execute the perfect breakout.
Patiently, and with great calculation they waited for their water refill to show me I hadn't shut the pen door enough. I was stuck keeping the bottom spout blocked with a thumb because I've lost the cap...
Hi everyone, I recently purchased this trio of bantam Wyandottes, I live in Spain and they were sold as “Dorado ribeteado de blanco” which literally translates to golden laced with white, I’ve done some googleing and when I search for golden laced with white I don’t get anything that looks like...
I wanted to go ahead and introduce myself as I am getting back into the chicken rearing and community is everything!
Hi, I'm Jade!
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Yes and no, lol! I got my first 2 chickens when I was 5 in 2004, but I never had any chickens after...
Looking for some advice-I have my suspicious and would love some confirmation (would love for someone to tell me I'm wrong though 🤣) is this 3.5 month old a roo? Hoping not becuase that would mean 3 (possibly 4) out of 4 were roosters. There are patches of red on the wings that aren't seen very...
I have a GL Wyandotte in question. She has always been bigger than her other Gold Laced sisters and developed feathers and wattles/comb quicker than the others.
I know that this is usually a sure sign of a roo, but I've also seen a couple on here that turned out to be hens. I noticed this...
Hello all, new chicken mama Cassie here. I ordered 11 pullets from MMH that are now almost a month old, so of course I am now playing the paranoid “pullet or cockerel??” game. I thought I’d introduce the ladies and see if any of you experienced eagle-eyes notice something I hadn’t, especially if...
Hi all, I got a batch of Wyandotte’s that are all different colors but there’s one in the batch that I’m not sure whether it’s a cockerel or a pullet. I’ve read that pullets can get big wattles and they go red as well. One of my first Wyandottes did this as well(thought I had a boy) and turned...
Hi everyone! I have a three year old s/l wyandotte hen who began presenting neurological issues sunday morning (3/8). I immediately separated her and deep cleaned everything, nobody else has shown symptoms and i've been trying to minimize any contact the other hens have with her.
Sunday morning...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Super new to chickens! I've been around them intermittently over the years, recently purchased a home, decided in January to get chickens, and just got my little...
Video link on reddit of chick Tuesday night at end of post (couldnt upload here):
1 week 4 day old chick (we think silkie) started sneezing Tuesday night. We've had her since day one and she's been healthy, energetic, eating and drinking. 4pm Tuesday I did my normal pasty butt check and she had...
Here are some updated photos of my lavender Wyandotte who is 5 weeks old tomorrow. Any guesses or help on his/her sex?
There isn’t much comb growth since the 3 week photo but it has gotten more color at the top and the wattles are getting some color.
I can’t have a rooster where we live and we...
