golden comets

I have 7 Golden Comet hens that are excellent layers of beautiful brown med-large eggs. They are coming up on 16 months old (hatched April 3, 2022). I am rehoming because I don't have the room in the hen house for them and the new chicks that are coming online (I fell victim to chicken math...

I have five month old, Marek’s vaccinated Golden Comet pullets available. Located in San Jose, CA. They are $30 each.

Since I have plenty more room for at least 3-4 more chooks, I'm on the hunt for a few new girls to expand my little feather family. I'm in the Florence-Richland area of Mississippi. I also plan to sell some eggs and help my community out because egg prices are going up. Looking for the...

Took the kids to TSC and picked out some chicks. The two orange ones with white wings are supposed to be Golden Comets. I let the kids pick out the other 4 from the assorted bin. I was told they were all supposed to be pullets. I don't know a lot about all the different breeds, but from what...

I have 5 chickens. 2 Rhode island reds, 2 golden comets and an Easter egger. The two reds and one comet produce an egg everyday for about 3-4 weeks now. The last golden, has not stated laying any eggs and her comb has not grown out. Any thought on why the one golden comet is far behind the...

Hello! I've been on here not quite so long, but I feel like I've been asking so many question about my chickens, so I figured I'd join the discussion and introduce them to you! I also thought it would be nice to document our first flock so that we can come back and look at our starting point and...

Hello, I'm Sonya. We just received our babies last Tuesday and have been so excited to have them in our life. We have 11 Golden Comets (because our chicken math was way off) that are now a week old. We are first-timers so we are learning everything we can about keeping poultry for eggs. We...

I got 6 Golden Comets 2 years ago and they laid eggs faithfully until 6 months after getting them. They only laid eggs periodically after, I got new comets last year. Now the older hens are dying. They eat and drink water, they just keep get hunched up and stand around or the just lay down in...

Hi there! I’m in my first year of owning three awesome Golden Comets, Rose, Coop and R2-D2.(can you tell we let the kids name them? Haha.) We got them the weekend after Easter, and they’re all the same age, but I’m a bit confused. I’ve recently noticed that Rose has a nice sized red comb...

I am so ready for these two 16 week golden comets to start laying! Their sisters, who are the same age, don’t look ready, but see how red and big the combs/wattles are on these! Come on, girls!

So I'm trying to decide between ordering 15 Rhode Island Reds or 15 "Reich's Golden Reds." I feel pretty safe ordering from Reich's Poultry Farms (Marietta, PA); they're Amish, they're old fashioned, they have a long and good reputation, and I have a relative who lives in the area and knows...

Hey, Txs for the welcome. I,m Jack (Jack55). My wife, Lois and I bought a home halfway up a small mountain facing west and overlooking Warwoman Creek. I started a garden, set up for raising earthworms and mealworms, the built a coop and run. Next week I'll be looking to buy 3-4 female...

We are getting close to starting our first coop. I wanted to describe our situation and get your feedback on anything I might be missing. We live in Knoxville, tn city limits. We can have 6 chickens. Of the 6 they all have to be hens. We are planning to order 3 golden comets and 3 light...

A little background: I have a "cherry egger" (New Hampshire/RIR cross) rooster and 9 hens. The hens are RIW(6) and Golden Comet/Cinnamon Queen(3) (whatever you choose to call them). I took 4 eggs to my neighbor because she had a broody cochin and I wanted to see if she would hatch out any...

:eek:Solved! Verdict: ALL BOYS! Thanks BYC!:eek: Here's the siblings of the cockerel you all helped identify for me, if you could help with the rest, I would be very appreciative. Please let me know if I need more pics of any. Hatched August 20, so about 12 weeks/3 months old. Father is...

Hello! Hello! Greetings BYC people. I have been reading and lurking on this site for probably a year or two now lol. I finally got my chickens recently! We live in southern Idaho and bought a house (3 months ago) on about 1/2 an acre. We (my husband & I) love small town/rural living and I am a...

:eek:Update: Solved! Verdict: rooster. Thanks BYC! :eek: Hatched August 20, so about 12 weeks/3 months old. Father is (supposedly) a black Austrolorp and the hens at the time are (supposedly) Golden Comets but also could be GC crosses. Of the six chicks that hatched that day, three were white...

I'm kinda new to chickens, and this is my first winter with them. One of my comets is molting and looks like a fuzzy featherless mess, so I was not surprised when she stopped laying. But the other one still has a big, floofy body of feathers and has also stopped laying. Everything I have read on...
