Baldr is a 17-week-old purebred Olandsk Dwarf from Greenfire Farms. He's had his Marek's Disease vaccination. He is such a good boy. I hand-raise all my chicks so that they are friendly. He is docile and has never shown human aggression. Unfortunately, I have other roos and he's trying to fight...

I don't have a question. Just sharing my Ölandsk Dwarf cockerel development. This little boy already thinks he's the man. Started challenging his brother at 3 weeks. Trying to crow at 4 weeks. Now that he is 7-weeks, he is "crowing" every day. Mostly squeaking. :lol: I caught him twice grabbing...

Do they exist or do I need to build my own? I only need a small manual access door between coops that can be closed off occasionally if someone needs a time out. I looked online and here and only see automatic doors. I don't want one with a sensor that gets triggered and opens and closes on its...

This is a 7-week-old Old English Pheasant Fowl from Greenfire Farms. Its sibling died at 1-week old so I can't compare with another in the flock and there are not too many photos online. I included some pictures from 5-weeks also, because they were clearer. They have rose combs that develop...

I currently have six 11-month-old hens (Lavender Orpington, Welsummer, 2 California Whites, Leghorn, and some kind of hybrid who is slightly smaller than the other ladies.) I have 10 new 5-week-old chicks that are in the coop next to them until ready for integration. (5 Ölandsk Dwarf bantams...

I am fascinated by chicken behavior. My 5 months old ladies just started laying. They cackle/cluck like this before going into lay. Are they in pain? Just announcing the feat? This pullet is standing outside making the same sound while the other is in laying. Is she jealous? Making an...

I have a chunky-butt Brahma rooster who likes to be on the top roost (at 5') with the ladies, but was terrified to get down in the morning. I was worried that he would injure his legs, so I built ramps going up to the roost. They work perfect. He walks up and down and now even some of the hens...

I was pretty sure that I knew, but am second-guessing myself. So would love to hear everyone's first impressions: sex and breed. Got my birds straight run from Rural King (Hoover's Hatchery). Thank you.

Sex and breed or hybrid of both? They are 14-weeks old. Thank you!

I've looked at some other Brahma posts to distinguish the cockerel from the pullet, but I'd like a verification on my own Brahma. I have 2 and they were sexed as female. But at 12 weeks there is quite a disparity in size. My big one appears to be getting saddle feathers. Has wattles. Huge legs...
