This is my first time with this breed. I got "her" (I was told she was a female) in November at 11 weeks. I'm now starting to question as for the past month we have seen the Ayam Cemani mounting my larger breed hens. At first I thought she was trying to establish herself a little higher in the...

Sorry for the lengthy post, but I'm trying not to leave anything out. I have a hen who has been laying soft shell and no shell eggs. All my girls are 23 weeks old as of yesterday. At first I wasn't quite sure who was laying the soft and no shell eggs, as they were being laid at night and found...

Good morning everyone. I have a few questions as I'm always trying to learn the best prevention and maintenance so I can be prepared. Some of you have been raising chickens for many many years. So your advice is greatly appreciated. My last flock was a breeze. Purchased at 11 months old and...

My girls will be 13 weeks tomorrow and I'm only allowed to keep a certain number in my town. I'm looking to list the extra girls next week (they'll be almost 14 weeks by then) One of my silver laced wyandottes has been leaving me guessing on her sex, so I'm holding on to both of my rose comb...

Okay so I ordered 5 different breeds of chicks from hoovers hatchery. With my order I requested 3 silver laced polish females (2 of which died in the first 24 hours) One of my other breeds a silver laced wyandotte is looking like she may be a he. So I'm a little concerned there may have been...

Okay, so I purchased 3 silver laced wyandottes from hoovers hatchery along with my other chicks. They are now 7 weeks old as of yesterday. 2 have the rose comb and my crazy speedy one has a single comb. The one in question is my favorite she's also feathered out the quickest. Please note I did...

Having only been a chicken mama to full grown hens this will be my first experience with baby Chicks. I am trying to have everything ready at least a week before they arrive. We ordered 18 chicks who are expected to arrive in 2 weeks. I initially planned on using a plastic tote until I started...
