    Greetings from freezing Wisconsin

    Hi guys! New member. I have 4 6-week-old chicks, my first ever. Two are Plymouths, one buff Orpington, and an Australorp. My father owns chickens down in Tennessee so he's a great resource for some things, but it's nice to have a wider community, especially for cold-weather concerns. As I write...

    Chicken wont follow the flock?

    Hello everyone, I was wondering why my Black australorp chick isn't following the flock. She always stays away and does her own things. She eats and sleeps with them but anytime else she is normally doing her own thing. Also when I come out to give them treats she stays where she is, when all...

    Solved! Rooster? Austrolorp-Golden Comet Cross

    :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...

    Sickness only affecting Australorps?

    I have 7 Australorp hens, 4 EE hens, 6 Partridge Rock hens, 2 EE cockerels and 3 Autralorp/EE crosses that I keep in one coop. Tonight when shutting them in I noticed one Australorp hen had a pale comb (which I take as a sign of sickness) so I checked her out and sure enough she had some yellow...

    EE sex-link?

    Hello, not sure if this is the right place to post this. I don't know all the right colouring terms or whatnot, but I bred my primarily red EE rooster to three different black Australorps and got 2 identical grey (or blue might be the right term) chicks and 1 black chick. The 2 greys are both...

    Hello Everyone, I'm just after some advice for my new chickens. I've hatched only two batches of chicks, one about 8 weeks ago and another as of today. My first hatch gave me 8/12 chicks, two of which had a wonky leg. One chick unfortunately had to be put down as one of his legs pretty much...
