I got this bird as a replacement for one dying at a feed store. On the outside, there were two labels, Sapphire Splash or Easter Egger but the inside label had “Blue Bell” written in marker over the barrel. It was much bigger than my other chicks, but I wanted a variety flock so I picked this...

After keeping one chick for three months, we mistook it for a hen. It had a hen's (a female chicken's) exact appearance.And it crowed yesterday.We had to butcher it since crowing hens are seen as a terrible omen in Nepal. When we were cleaning it, we discovered that it had two testicles.Our...

Our second little flock of 3 silkies (4-ish months) have shared a large yard with our original flock of 8 mostly standards (10 months: 7 girls 1 roo) The younger silkies spend days outside in pen area, deliberately not secure as I hoped they’d start adventuring out a bit. That also means the...

Recently we brought 2 chicks that are around 10 - 12 days old and we are not sure about their sexes. Can you identify their sexes by looking at their picture.

So I was singing, good morning to my rooster, and he was dancing along when all of a sudden he threw up (I think) water! He’s not acting sick at all! Is this normal? Is it OK? Here’s a video where you can see him throwing up 🥺!

My 14 week old Golden Wyandotte rooster is missing t feathers on the back of his neck! It’s really only noticeable when his hackles are up! He’s definitely starting to mature and show more interest in our hens, so I’m not sure if that’s what it is. He also looks like he might be starting to molt...

When I was 19, I was given a fighting rooster. My cousin was into cockfighting at the time and I was living with them. I'd feed the roosters and make sure they were all taken care of. Some of them were nice, and others would whip you into a tub of butter. I had a yard hen who I absolutely...

Hello! I have an acre and a coop with 15 young chickens that are not laying yet. We recently lost 8 due to a predator attack so now would actually be a good time to introduce new ones. Can also take Turkeys and Peacocks If anyone needs to rehome them, I live in Littleton and would be happy to...

i’m update on chickens, ended up getting 3 roosters out of 6 chicks bought! kind of a bummer but they are beautiful! these boys are bout 14-15 weeks and we are planning to get rid of the two sex link boys to a nice sancutuary.

I've recently bought a group of Speckled Sussex chickens, all of the pullets are very tame. This rooster is not, he's smaller than all of the females and bites people for seemingly no reason. I'd like to keep him, but we would want to tame him or at least make sure he isn't terrified of humans...

I recently got a rooster and i’m still debating whether I keep him or not. He’s either a bantam or a standard Cochin, not sure yet. He has 2 other hens the same age as him but my other hens ages range from 2-10 years old. I only have 3 other bantams, one is just about 9 years old(a silkie) and...

I can show some other photos if needed! He’s 3 and a half weeks old.
