    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? No, we have had up to 35 at a time, started in 1993 but stopped just after our kids got in college. My daughter loved to bicycle with a favorite chicken she named, Petry (pronounced Peetree as in the dinosaur in "The Land Before...

    Chicken calculators and my simple mind

    Hey guys I'm fairly new to fowl in general and I've spent the last 2 hours trying to make sense of multiple genetics calculators - I simply don't understand them. I don't understand the coding or even how to input my birds to find out what I'm looking for. If someone could explain to me in...

    Is my black hen actually a rooster?

    I adopted these two "gals" and was assured they were hens. The black one has gotten quite loud and I don't think I've once seen her in the nesting boxes. We have had "her" for about 6 months. Does anyone think she's a rooster? We are not allowed to keep roosters due to noise. Our houses are very...

    Polish and nipple waterers

    i just bought my first polish chicks and have read a bit about them. One thing mentioned was poor eye sight because of head feathers. Will nipple waters work for these birds when they get older or will I have to stay with waters on the ground. Just trying to be prepared because I use the...

    Please help.. thought about this chick... thank you

    This is my almost 8 week old polish created chick. I am wondering if it is a pullet or cockerel? Or perhaps it is too soon to tell? Feathers on head are Mohawk like, but not super spiked... no sign of comb or wattle... thoughts?? Such a friendly bird!!

    Seemingly white crested black polish born with a 99.5% black crest?

    the pictures arent the best, but my post is referring to the only all black chicken in the brooder. i personally like the looks a totally black polish better than one with a white tophat. however, until this year's adoption grab bag/late hatchers, i didnt think that even existed... I most...
