I have a 22+/- week old Delaware pullet whose comb and wattles have been bright red for 3 or 4 weeks now. I know that this is one of the signs that a pullet will start laying soon. Is it unusual to have to wait this long once they turn red for something to happen? Is there anything else I need...

I have a gorgeous BO rooster that I need to find a good home for. He is about 18 weeks now, and I have raised him from a few days old chick. He is free to a good home, but I don't want him to be eaten. He has a great temperment and I think he would make a wonderful addition to anyone's flock...

So I’ve begun the arduous task of introducing my 6 and 8 week old chicks to my 18 week old Dellie pullet and 17 week old BO roo. I say arduous because I have 3 dogs, 2 rabbits, and 2 tanks full of fish and none of them have ever been quite so stubborn when it comes to getting along. I started...

I can't wait any longer - they are just too cute not to share. Once again, I'd love feedback on what sex these two maybe leaning towards. Their comb size have hardly changed since I got them at about a week old. They will be 4 weeks on Thursday. This is Sophia. She's a RIR with spunk. This...

I just got my second round of chicks this weekend. My first group of 3 turned out 2 out of 3 roos. I was able to find a good home for one, and I'm holding onto the second until my second group is big enough to move in with my one (hopefully) pullet left. Which brings me to my question. My...

This is my second post on the forum, but I will still do an intro since my other one was in the buy, sell, giveaway section. My husband and I decided to become chicken owners about 2 months ago. We loved the idea of harvesting our own eggs and free fertilizer, and we also thought it sounded...

This is my first time posting, but I have been reading on the forum for a few months now. I definitely have gotten a lot of great information here, given my husband and I are first time backyard chicken owners. So, the reason for this post is we got what we thought were three pullets a couple of...
