Ummm, they were supposed to all be pullets :/

I think these two are my Rhode Island Reds. Am I correct and any Roos?

Well his girlfriend is definitely a cream leg bar so that makes sense. So my husband has decided to name him Cream Abdul Legbar. Hehe:) now you know why I married him.

Thanks for the info. Ya’ll Rick! Unfortunately, it was too late for my poor girl. I was dealing with an illness outbreak in my flock at the time (did not know what), and I am sure that is why she got the flystrike. She died that afternoon and I am traumatized from dealing with the maggots...

This chicken came from TSC and I have no idea, my husband bought it because my daughter wanted it. I have been dealing with a number of problems in the flock since the weather changed and Honestly, the two chicks he bought have kinda raised themselves. I think they are the ones that started...

Thank you Mary, for the suggestion of what to look for on Google. Very helpful. Thank you coach for the confirmation and encouragement. I have determined that they are indeed maggots of some kind and I have removed as many as I can find and washed with soap and water and applied neosporin...

I have lost 6 chicks and 2 adult chickens. Now I have an adult chicken with weird wormy things all over her back half. They are not just in the immediate vent area, but in the feathers out around the back third of the chicken. They are dropping off her at an alarming rate now that I rinsed...

We almost burned down the whole coop last night. Our coop is on skids so it can be moved around the pasture/yard. My husband moved the coop, settled everything including looking for late eggs, and closed up the coop. We have had heat lamps in the coop during the coldest part of the winter...

Heehee, a mix of colored-egg layers and I have soooooo many varieties. I am so glad I did, but this exercise of determining breeds has been fun but frustrating. :)

She has also been the most vigorous of the chicks from day one. Always running around, rarely resting In One place. Hardest To catch, very Wiley. I was sure she was going to be a rooster at first.

I purchased day old chicks (arrived sept 2) and they definitely looked like little chicks, so I am guessing last day or two of August. So, call it Sept 1. So, that is 16 weeks. I was surprised by the comb and wattles because none of my other chickens have anything close. So it is still a toss...

This chicken is 4 months old today. I don’t know her breed to look it up. Can anyone tell Me for sure? Also, she has the largest comb and wattles of any of my chickens so I worry about her being a rooster, even though I’ve been told she is a pullet. So, is she a she or a he? Thanks for...

So these are sex-linked traits? What makes them female coloring specific?

Looking at the brown bird in each photo, are these two birds the same breed? Which breed would you guess? The darker one is a rooster, right? Thanks for any

Well, here is the news, we have a chicken with a scalped butt. She is missing feathers on her back and feathers and some meat on her butt. The vet said it looked okay and just removed the piece of skin that would have died off anyways. They said there was no way to sew it up but that she...
