I bought a single buff [/IMG]Orpington pullet @ the local feed store but I'm getting that niggling feeling that it's a cockerel! Anybody have a guess for me?

Never mind, figured it out!

Hi! My brother is going to Paris in November (I know, bad timing for laying) and he said if I did the legwork he would be willing to hand carry hatching eggs home. Anybody know of an amazing breed that isn't in the US currently that I could bring home from France? (I would go through all of the...

Includes 1288, 1210 autoturner w/ tray, and 30 quail eggs for $188.45 shipped. Is this a good buy? (I want quail eggs because my Ameraucanas are MONTHS from laying and I am no good at waiting!) Thanks!! Bianca

I need blue eggs! I NEED blue eggs! So if I want a blue-egg maker (not green or olive, just blue) can I get either the Auracana or Americauna? (not EE) Of those two breeds, which lays MORE eggs? Am I missing a breed that lays blue eggs? Thanks!

Title says all-my "blue" *I think he/she is black!) silkie has developed a gnarly grayish looking comb over the last three weeks and also started to crow. Any way it's a girl, or should I find a new home?? (If it helps, we did have a rooster in the flock but he went to his new home about the...

I don't have final weights on them because they're still resting in the cooler, but I'm guessing between 3-5 pounds after butchering, at just under 8 weeks old. We fed them a soy-free locally grown non GMO feed and I just read on here that soy-free feed=birds that weigh less? Anyway, I would...

We just got our very first ever chickens on Saturday-an assortment of 6 little cuties. One of them is squirting out brown liquid that looks a little like melted chocolate. I'm thinking this isn't normal but wondering a) what caused it and b) what to do about it! Headed to the feed store to pick...

So I'm new to chickens, don't have any yet, and I wanted to ask about worms: Are they passed from mother hen through egg and then are in baby chicks from birth, or do they pick them up in the environment? I'm all grossed out thinking about tapeworm and roundworm in my chickens-If I order all my...

Hi! New here. This summer will *hopefully* be my first time owning chickens. Definitely going to get 6 or so layers, and considering meat chickens. I'd like to get freedom rangers from JM Murray as I have small children and no time to do intensive management schemes. Feed, water, get eggs, weed...
