Was Henrietta a blue laced red Wyandotte? I read about her in your introduction. That story made me think about Dove, one of the first chickens I got, a Buff Laced Sebright pullet. A dog killed her, and I found her dead and half eaten...I totally lost it. Losing her was like losing a best...

Why, hello! I had not expected to see you here.

What is a shunt? Like a waste bag?

That is terrible! What will you do with your chickens?

Some roosters have just one hen, while other, more dominant roosters have harems of about five.

Production red?

Yes.

Buff Orpington?

It depends on if you want them to be able to find food on the land or not, and if you care about the sustainability of the flock. Chickens prefer to be in a small flock socially because the more birds there are, the more birds they have to sort in the pecking order and remind of their place. In...

Well that did not last long. I like this game, but I do not have a cell phone or anything to upload pictures with. Anybody want to post the next egg?

I have one hen from last Spring that just cannot keep feathers on. She is the only barebacked hen I have even with as many boys as I have. She still has not molted, just grew one single little feather on her bare back. She is a scrawny hatchery White Rock (but one of my favorites), and her...

That is very nice looking! How many ducks do you have? How do you clean the water?

Please record the total number of males you have, then specify how many are in with the females. Perhaps include the breeds and the amount of space you have for the males in with the females as both of these factors can greatly effect the amount of roosters you can have together with girls. I am...

Try posting in the "What Breed or Gender is This?" section.

This is a very dangerous thread... I pretended to not know what it was going to be about when I clicked on it, then just had to read it all, against my will...

This varies on breed, and things like frostbite and other bodily stress, and diet can shorten the length of fertility. My neighbor's RIR rooster was nearly ten and I still hatched out chicks from their eggs for them. The "count" goes down as they age, but they will retain fertility for a long...

What is the average number of roosters you guys on here have? I have eighteen, not counting what could be boys out of the four chicks my broody just hatched. I love my boys...

I love his coloring!
