I've tried to search for this, with no results. I have 26 week old polish bantams and they aren't laying yet. When should I expect them to lay? I just got them two weeks ago and they weren't laying at their previous home.
I got a polish hen from someone today. She is about six months old. After quickly examining them when I got home I saw one had a weird scab on the nostrils/beak area. I got another few polish along with this one, these ones and the affected hen all seem healthy weight and happy and have good...
I tried to include as many pics as possible. Any ideas on this one? I think the rest are cockerels, holding out for this one. Not sure of age thinking 5 weeks-ish. Thanks!
I'm not sure if gold lace can be color sexed when feathered, because I see a lot of hens are actually gold and a lot of roosters are actually rust color. But I would like to know everyone's opinion on this stunner from the SR bin at Tractor Supply. About 10-14 days old
My polish too had some leftover eggs after his elector psp treatment over the last couple weeks. I decided to just coat them with tea tree oil just in case they were viable. When I did this, some dripped in my roosters mouth. He was sleepy afterwards but walking and eating. I brought him inside...
This is Pretty (maybe Pretty Boy lol) s/he is a couple days shy of 5 weeks old and is starting not to look like the other barred rock I got in the same order. So I'm suspecting a boy? I tried to get some varying pics but they weren't being too cooperative. Thanks for any help.
So you all told me two weeks ago "blue" and "orange" are roosters and "pink" and "green" are pullets. I am going to try to get rid my roos (trade for pullet) this weekend so I really need to know for sure...because I love all of them and really don't want to have to re-home any of them. I'm...
I have black Jersey Giants and it appears two have gotten red on their combs but I'm not sure if maybe the one is just plder than the rest by a little?
They should be about 7 weeks. I'm going to post all 4 of them (2 I'm fairly sure are pullets and 2 I'm not sure. I was sold all pullets but you...
Hi I'm really new to chickens. I have 10 1-day-old Jersey Giant chicks coming in before the end of next week. We live in Florida and have no a/c in our living room and keep the windows open. So I was wondering if a heat source for the chicks would actually over heat them? It's been in the high...
I got a Flemish giant the other day and I thought she could just roam around but I didn't realize they had been keeping their rabbits outside in a hutch and they are not litter trained. I've been keeping her in the kitchen with a small dog carrier for her "bed" while I'm at work (to keep her...
I'm building my ducks their outside enclosure this weekend and wanted to know some things. 1, do my ducks need grit since the soil where I live is basically sand and my ducks eat it without being shown? 2, I saw chicken treats (big blocks of meal worms and stuff) at tractor supply. Can ducks eat...
I bought some ducklings from tsc and I thought they only sold pekins but I am not sure if these are pekins or runners or what. Any help is appreciated.
