I have never owned silkies before so I don't have a clue how to sex them. Here are the two that I have and they are both 8 1/2 weeks old.
This is the second one
Next I have two different blue/black Ameracauna's
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!
Got this one at Atwoods, feather legged and possibly muffs. I think it may be a pullet, but what breed is it? 7 weeks old
This one was bought the same day, it took a long time to get some feathers, I think it's a roo, but I don't have a clue what breed it might be. Any help would be greatly...
Here is Nutmeg, the one in the middle. We were thinking for a long time that it might be a she, but having doubts now. I have a hard time figuring out EE's. About 17 weeks old.
I have 2 jersey giant roosters in a pen with 11 hens. The roos are the same age and are just gettting mature, 6mos. 6 of the hens are laying and 5 are due pretty soon. We haven't had a problem until today when both roosters began attacking one hen. They singled her out and were inflicting some...
This is an 8 week old EE. Hoping for a cockerel, we ordered 6 straight run and this is the one with the biggest comb. I've never sexed EE's before so I'm more hesitant. Thanks.
Hi,
I am thinking about raising chickens for some extra money and because I have become a chicken fanatic over the past few years since I first started keeping them. I know I won't get rich and may not even break even but I think it will be fun and exciting for me and the kids.
So far my...
Can anyone give me an idea of what breed of chicks these are? The first two are bantams. They have the feathering on the legs.
These others are assorted red pullets, they could be any of the following: New Hamshire, RIR, Red sex link
Thanks.
Had to assist my little chick because it was getting shrink wrapped, it has something red sticking out.
here's another shot of it:
What is it, and what do I do?
Thanks for any help, I greatly appreciate it!
Our home made incubator's light bulb went out in the middle of the night (sometime after 2am) and at 7am the temp was at 59. We have it in an un heated area and the outside temp was around 49. I quickly grabbed up as many as I could and warmed them with my body and hands while changing the...
Hi, I've noticed on a few of my chickens that I raised from chicks that their eggs will be real small at first. Then as time goes on they eventually lay normal sized eggs on a more regular schedule. Since I have only raised a few, I was wondering what the normal time frame is for chickens to...
I have a black sex link hen who is 8 months old. She usually does the same thing that all the other hens do, eat, poop, sleep, act curious, etc. For the last couple of days she has been off by herself more and today she went into the hen house in the middle of the day to roost. I got her out...
I was given this beautiful rooster by a friend who was told that he was a dominker. When I looked them up, I noticed that he doesn't look like the pics of dominques that I found. Anyone have any idea what he might be?
The hen is supposed to be a Buff Orpington but she looks quite a bit...
