Oh very interesting ! Thank you! After 7 years I'm still learning. Chickens, they seem so simple ... or maybe I'm the simple one, lol

Ain't it the truth. The only comparison i can even make are teenage daughters!

So I've heard it all from parasite prevention and treatment to cooling to heating to molting itch. None of that makes sense to me. I honestly think, after 7 years of watching chickens from hatch to old age dying, i believe it's to kill their scent. Hide from predators. Ideas?

Whatever she is she is a beauty. Love those pencil edged feathers and flash of red!

French copper maran parentage, my best guess. Not an expert! All my varieties of Marans have those black legs and black ripped beaks but all mine are single comb. Some "egger" breed mix with FCM in there?

She may stop, She may stop by herself? I hope so!

Beautiful birds! When I'm rooster free, which is "usually", one of my hens picks up rooster duty. Invariably. I have a golden Sebright bantam hen that lays eggs, struts around and crows constantly! She's pretty good at it, too! Lol. One of my americana girls has also displayed roo behavior...

Wasnt real clear was i? My mistake. I had small chicks from TSC at the time, and before she was ill enough to isolate, she 'mothered' them. With her immune system so low, i put her on the med. Feed to prevent potential secondary infection from Cocc. the chicks may have had, as a sort of...

Ooh! Ok I'm officially excited. They are slightly more flighty than my stolid favored mystic Maran tweens, but very sweet. And just lovely! Thank you!

I'm actually ok with any chicken. I'm that addicted. But i love having even some vague idea what traits to expect.

Ooohhh that makes tons of sense. I would bet cockscombs that TSC employees meant to write legbar instead of leghorn! It explains the golden EEi had with a Mohawk. Any ideas about these gorgeous Grey girls?

Oh gosh. I'm no pro, but i wouldn't. I gave my hen fish flex (cephalexen) for a horrible yeast infection and it cleared it right up. I mean she was about to die so it was desperate then too, but human meds are made in molecular forms for human bodies. If I was life or death desperate again...

Thank you! Now to go find out how to pronounce that. Lol

Puzzles me too. I had an Easter egger last year that had a Mohawk. Fox got her. In the heavy duty run. In broad daylight. I got him...i hate foxes. This is mohawk from last year. I keep wondering what causes this. Here's only got longer as she matured.

Only two or of 13 survived my 1$each sale purchase at TSC. Sad. They were varied breeds. I don't know this breed. Any help? Oh they have heavily feathered feet.

That aren't actually leghorns at all, lol, i bought at TSC.i finally got decent pics. Funny thing, they have Mohawks. ??! I have had a few sapphire gem hens. I think maybe this is them, too. Any ideas? Good layers. Mine were daily.

It's not an easy hobby. Thankfully, idc for eggs or chicken, lol. I cull all roosters, all toms. But as far as the girls go, they just fade away, lol. Retirement i reckon.

Beautiful!

Hmmm. Despite living the the middle of nowhere, that might not be great. Lots coywolves and bears might come investigating.

Oh that's scary cool! I'm definitely getting some!
