Do you have any other pictures? I need to build a grow out pen for mine but can’t decide how to do it. I’m over pine shavings!

I would love to see what your silkie mix looks like!!! ❤️

Did hair/feathers ever grow back? I have a 7 week old silkie chick with a naked butt right now that is most likely from pasty butt. I have another that has no “fluff” on its back. They are sooo ugly right now 😭

I have 3 new splash ameraucana hens that are gorgeous that lay blue eggs! I only have one roo that is a lavender orpington. If I was to hatch the eggs what could be the possibility of chicks coloring? I’ve tried doing my own research but not quiet finding the right answers and lavender and blue...

It’s been almost 3 weeks and my flock seems fine and I haven’t had any other issues. Could it still be MG? I have I have 21 chickens and all seem healthy?

I went out today and found him dead. 😭 if this is what’s going on is there a way to prevent my ladies from catching it too? Should I treat all of them? I’m kinda lost here! Money is tight until next month so my fingers are crossed no one else gets sick until I get paid again.

I went out today and found him dead. 😭 is the rest of my flock going to catch it and die too? I reached out to a place that does necropsy but I don’t think I’ll be able to afford it right now. Is there a way I can prevent my other from catching it if that’s what it is?

I’m relatively new to chickens.. Not sure what is going on, I noticed our bantam roo is looking a little lethargic, got him caught and gave him a look over. His eyes look bubbly? Almost like spit bubbles and his breathing sounded a little raspy. He also hasn’t been crowing. I put nutri-drench in...

Thank you that’s what I thought. What do you think about the yellowish grey chick that I have labeled #1? It has feathered legs so it has me a little confused. I did finally get pictures of the coops the eggs are from so I’ll share those here too.

They have now hatched and would love if someone could help me distinguish between them and what breeds they might be!! EE and OE is such a broad term so I’m curious if anyone could tell what breeds they are based off appearance this young. Most are darker in color and have feathered legs except...

Learning lots about chickens from this forum 🐓

Thank you!! I’m always googling something anout poultry and seem to always find the answer on this forum so I decided to create an account so I can interact too. I got into chickens because I absolutely love them but don’t have any family or friends who even own chickens so a lot of the time I’m...

I have 3 lavender orpington hens, 3 sapphire gem hens, 4 red sex link hens, 1 frizzle lavender orpington hen, 1 black silkie hen, 3 splash americana hens, 1 lavender orpington roo. Recently just added 10 silkie chicks. 2 blue satin frizzles, 1 blue, 7 chocolates. I also added 4 chocolate...

I am curious too about the sapphire gem/ lavender orpington cross!!

I’m curious too how the sapphire gem/lavender orpington cross turned out!
