    Help! Nictitating membrane (third eye) not moving

    Help! I’m new to chickens and trying to do my best for them! I have 4 hens that are 6-7months old. One of my black sex-link’s eyes is closed at all times, and when I hope the lids, her nictitating membrane doesn’t move/remains there so her eye looks cloudy. No sign of respiratory illness - no...

    Are we ladies?

    Hello, bought all as pullets. I am suspicion of a few though. A few of them have stand offs but I haven’t seen anyone actually be mean, we’ve heard zero crowing and only a buff makes different noises than the rest of them but she sounds like a momma chicken. I’m also new, I did do research on...

    Trying to price BSL hatching eggs

    Hey all! So I have my Black Sex Link project in full swing and have successfully hatched 2 batches of chicks. But when I was in Agway today, a lady asked me if I had fertile hatching eggs that she could buy since she has a broody hen. She only wants 6, which is fine by me. But I'm having...

    Black sex link

    I ordered chicks from a farm store nearby and got 1 female black sex link but when I got home I googled it and found that males have the white spot. I assumed the man working there knew how autosexing worked so I didn't double check there. Is there any chance this is a female? I was told they...

    Black Sex Link Pullet? Or what?

    I got 8 chicks Wednesday from a local feed store (Steinhausers) now this one is suppose to be a BSL pullet (Black Sex Link) in the first 4 pics but it's looking like the Barred rock chick I picked out. Do they have white around wing tips? White specks under eyes. No spot on head, not even a hint...

    The production and longevity of Black Sex Links?

    I bought some Black Star / black sex link chicks by mistake last year and while a little dismayed initially to not have come home with what I thought I bought, I warmed to them when I read that they are an F1 cross of two heritage breeds (Barred Rock x RIR). My primary interest is in...

    How old were your chickens when they started laying eggs?

    Hi! I have 4 Rhode Island Red hens and 2 Black Sex Link hens. They will be 4 May baths on August 15th. When will they start laying eggs? I thought it would be 6 months, but a client said hers started at 4 months!

    Possible new low for Tractor Supply

    I had to go to town today so I stopped at Tractor Supply just to see what chicks they had. Only 1 tank: Cinnamon Queen pullets and straight run Black Sex Links. Wait, what? The CQ indeed looked correct but every single one of the BSL had a white dot on their head. All cockerels! I thought maybe...

    Is this a black sex link roo?!

    Hi! We bought 5 sex link chicks from a local feed store. 2 are gold sexlink, 1 is a red sex link, and 2 are black sex links. We were told they were all female, but one of the black sexlinks had a white spot on their head. I didn’t realize a white spot on a black sex link meant male, and it...

    Black sex link barred rock? What sex?

    I was so sure that this bird was a barred rock pullet until it grew some wing feathers. COMPLETELY BLACK! No stripes, nothing. I narrowed down all the possible breeds from what the breeder had to two. Barred Rock, and Black Australorp, but at a few days old it had the white bum, bib, wing tips...

    How can you tell the difference between Barred Rock egg and a Black Sex Link egg?

    Is there any definitive way to tell the difference between BR and BSL eggs? I would like to sell fertile eggs or chicks once my chooks start laying but I only want to hatch and sell Barred Rocks. I only have BRs and BSL and the only rooster I have is a BR. They should start laying in January of...

    Abscess/Infection in a chickens eye?

    Can anyone help identify this problem? This is my 2-year-old Black Sex-Link chicken. I think she jabbed her eye on a piece of hardwire cloth. Does it look like an abscess? We have been spraying vetericyn on it. It has been going on for 2 days. Any help is appreciated.
