Hello all, too many pages on this thread to read entirely in one day. Anyway, I have a 9 month old Black Australorp and just recently she just started hissing and getting real puffy when ever anyone would approach her. I have what I think thoroughly have checked her for mites, lice, fleas or...

Does anyone have a clue whether this is hen/roo? 14 weeks old

at any given time there are 4 nesting boxes in my run. All mine seem to prefer the same one. It's actually funny. Like waiting in line at the DMV. Bock Bock Bock, NEXT!!!

They act fine. Very active. Don't seem any different.

Thanks Hooligans7.

I've posted this in a few other forums: Little concerned here; I've got 3 Plymouth Barred Rocks and 1 Black Austraplorp which are all 9 months old. Two months ago I integrated 3 new pullets (14 weeks) . They get along great, no problems up until a week ago. I noticed that my 3 Barred Rocks...

The female part is REALLY what I care about most. Can't have Roo's in the city. Going by wha Popsicle posted about the Dixie Rainbow, ( I never heard of) but after googling it mine somewhat resembles that. Especially the neck feathers. But in all, these three are such a riot. I can sit and...

Still new in the chicken world here Wife and I bought 3 what we were told Buff Orpingtons from a local feed store. I believe 2 are red sex link and not sure on the golden one. Does anyone have a guess. They are now 13 weeks old. 2-3 weeks old 2-3 weeks old 13 weeks old 13 weeks old...

Here they are at 6 weeks old. The first set of pics are of them at 3 days old.

I'm having a problem with nats, does anyone have any suggestions

merlotmudpies, how did the transition work for the chicks?
