    Is my RIR a cockerel or hen?

    Here is some pics of my Rhode Island Red youngster. It’s going on 8 weeks old. This is our only RIR so I don’t have another one to compare him/her to. None of our other chicks, same age, have a comb like this yet so I think this one is a cockerel. Any one have a good guess?

    From Connecticut!

    hi all, some may have seen my posts about my 6 week old chick with leg issues. Brought her to the vet today and had to put her down. I am completely heartbroken and in tears, but I can’t help but worry about my lone chick at home. Will she be okay? Chickens are not being sold in my area anymore...

    LF: Buff Orphingtons and Black Australorps (Connecticut)

    Hi everybody! I'm currently looking for my first chickens! I've got my heart set on some Buffs and some Australorps as their personality seems to fit what I'm looking for the best. They MUST be sexed. Zoning regulations prevents roosters in my town so they must be pullets. If anybody has any...

    Because my Facebook Friends are Tired of Chickens

    Just sharing some pictures from today! I'm new to chicken life but I'm enjoying to learning curve. Gotta love when the gate opens and the dogs NEED to check out the chicken run and the chickens NEED to check out the dog yard. I guess the hay is always fresher on the other side... Mindy the...

    Straight run Jersey Giant chicks

    Hello everyone! I unfortunately have to re-home more chickens (I feel like that's all I've been doing these days :hit). These chicks weren't planned, and as a result, I'm having some issues with them. They aren't mixing well with my very young chicks. They're also creating lot of dust, which is...
