    Hello chicken loving friends

    Hi all, I have a flock of four hens in my Northwest back yard: Light Brahma (Chips), Golden Sex Link (Peepen), Black Australorp (Bindin), and a Silver Laced Wyandotte (Neptune). They are my little buddies and they all lay eggs! I love my gals and they have made life a sweeter thing, especially...

  2. Little Kitten

    Hi Y'all

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I was raised in the city (Houston) and I have very little experience to chickens. My husband and I moved to Fort Worth this year and wanted to start out a chicken coop business but first thing you need are chickens right? We first...

    Rescued hen, unsure what type of chicken she is!

    Hello all! Almost a year ago I rescued a little chick. She is now fully grown and producing an abundance of eggs! However, I am still unsure what kind of chicken she is! If anyone could help me out it would be so greatly appreciated! My best guess is she is some type of sex link hybrid. Thank you!

    Voice change and excessive fluffing of feathers

    My 6-year-old sex link hen looks to be the same weight and she is not missing feathers. We have recently lost her flock mates so she is alone for the time being (I am working on getting her a friend ASAP). I recently noticed that she will occasionally let out what sounds like a scream in a voice...

    What is this?

    I purchased hatching eggs labeled Rhode Island Red - but I have no idea what we hatched. They were cheap eggs and a great science project for my daughter and I and we LOVE our eggs. I wasn’t anticipating any eggs for about another month or two, but they will be 17 weeks old tmw and I’ve been...

    Rescue Chickens (and a runaway)

    Oh wow... yesterday was a crazy day. I finally have time to post about it. So. It all started with an email from a fellow chicken-lover who knew I was in CT. I clicked the attached link, and up came a Craigslist ad for 3 hens that were 10 minutes away from me. It stated right there in the ad...

    Lakeshore Eggers?

    Hi, folks. I noticed that Meyer Hatchery is selling a sex link called a Lakeshore Egger, and I was wondering if any of you have experience with this hybrid. They are billed as a reliable layer of blue to green eggs, cold hardy, with a variety of feather patterns. The appeal for me is that...

    Sex Links

    So I probably can't get any more chickens right now and even if I did l, I have other breeds I want to try first but when I first got my chickens two years ago, one of the breeds I was considering was sex links. I decided against them because I read they don't tend to live long and tend to have...

    Red Sex Link Hen X Dominique Roo

    My Red Sex Link Hen and Dominique Roo had ONE chick. Is there any way to tell the gender based on the coloring? If it’s a boy would it look like how the roo looked when he was a chick? The chick is yellow, like how the hen looked at that age, but it has a black spot on the back. What can I...

    WHY do sex links lay so much?

    Hoping some flock masters will indulge my silly inquiry... I guess this boils down to a genetic question. I love the genetic component of chickens - feeds my inner wannabe biologist. I have a general question re: sex links and their egg-churning abilities. I know many hatcheries use propriety...

    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...

    Dead Chicken

    i found one of my older hens dead on the roosting poles this morning. She seemed fine yesterday and ate well. She was a red jack and was 4 years old. She was the first of her flock to die. Is this a normal life span for sex link hens?

    True Black Ameraucana x Crested Cream Legbar

    I have a question about this particular mixture. I wanted to get some more blue egg layers and found a seller for hatching eggs online that says this mixture is sexable by color. I can't find literature or any posts about this mixture online and I have doubts that they can be sexed by color when...

    BSL stopped laying...is she a 'dud'?

    Hey all, I've searched the forum for this particular problem and haven't found much. I have a mixed flock of 5 hens that are 13 months old. Everyone's laying really well except my black sex link, Rosa. She hasn't laid ONE egg in the last four months (maybe longer). We did use supplemental...
