Hello!
we are brand new to chicken raising... our first girl: a leghorn started laying a few weeks ago, right around 16 weeks old. at first she’d lay every couple of days then she went about four or five days of laying, now it’s been more than a week since she’s layed. (It has been about 90...
Hi! I'm Thai and I just wondering if there is any Thai BYC member out there? And also, I'm looking for a Leghorn pullet. Anybody know where I can get one?
Hi Everyone,
New to backyard chickens. This website has been a gold mine of information. Thanks to all for taking the time to offer your thoughts.
I recently picked up these pullets from the farm down the road. I am having a hard time identifying them, the farmer wasn't even certain. Amy...
I found this while looking for my evening eggs about 15 min ago. Each layer revealed a new egg-thing. I hang out with my flock multiple times a day and no egg is left in there over an hour. The one who laid this is one of the leghorn cross "Ideal" hens. She is almost 3 years old. She eats Layena...
Hi I have some chicks due next Monday and I wanted to know if any of you people have ever cross bred Austrlops and black leghorn and what is it’s laying capabilities and colours of them the dad is the black leghorn and the pullets are Austrlop’s
These little “girls” are about 3 weeks old. They’re supposed to be leghorns. They are getting pretty long tail feathers. Is that a sign they might be roosters? I know I’ll probably have to wait longer, but I JUST CANT! 😂🤣😂 Thanks!
I do this every time I get new chicks! Stress for months until I know the sex! I think it’s because my first set of “pullets” I got at rural king were actually 50/50 hens and Roos! Leghorns seem a more tricky to sex by features. Any ideas if these are pullets or Roos?
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Bought my babies about a month age. First time chicken mom.

(3) What breeds do you have?

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard...
My 1yr old Leghorn started laying eggs last August-ish. Then once daylight started getting shorter in December, she & my other girls stopped laying. Well, here it is April and everyone has returned to normal laying schedule except her! She is my smallest hen, could that have anything to do with...
Hi everyone! Sorry if I am not posting in the right thread, I tried to find one more suited to my question but this was as close as I could find. Anyway, I have a cuckoo lemon orpington & leghorn mix rooster. I have a rhode island red, Plymouth barred rock, easter egger, Golden Laced Wyandotte...
Do you have a novogen? I was curious if you could post pictures. I just got one and it’s between 8-10 weeks old. It looks like a pullet but it has pointy tail feathers. I’m curious what your pullets and Roos look like. If you have any thoughts on mine please help lol.
The above chick was sold to us as a female ameracauna. I think it might be a cream legbar. Any thoughts?
what do we think about this being a female production red? female
the only thing I've found about this color pattern is that they might be hyline chicks...? any info about these? female...
These chicks were sold to us sexed as pullets. The yellow one was supposed to be a cream leg bar, however, I think it's more like a leghorn. any thoughts? the brownish one I believe is a barnevelder. This is not their normal set up, I was taking two at a time out on this towel with some food and...
Hey everyone. My partner and I have a fairly new 5 acre homestead in New England and have recently added 10 birds, 9 pullets and a cockerel, to our growing self sufficiency. I am already completely smitten with them, and people in real life are tired of hearing about them! lol Figured I'd share...
We have had 7 BR hens (and one roo) we bought as chicks in spring 2018 and by end of winter-spring 2019 they sucked at egg laying - going broody repeatedly with 2 week interval, pecking feathers (despite protein supplement), and just being big frame fat chickens upon butchering.
Their...
I have a white leghorn chicken in my flock of 5 (barred rock, Rhode island red, Easter Egger, Americana). They were all born on March 2 & 3 of last year so are not quite a year old. My white leghorn was the first to lay at about 14 or 15 weeks. She laid an egg a day and pretty much never took a...
