I have a Dominique hen who’s wanting to hatch out some eggs. I don’t need any more chickens right now (except for liege fighters), but I could definitely use some friendlier Guinea keets! Could she sit on them and hatch them? I’m aware the incubation time is a bit longer than it is for chickens...

I got these from a new friend, who had more roosters than she needed. I’ve been told they’re barnyard mixes. Any idea what they might be mixed with? Especially the black one… He’s so very friendly and docile, I’m hoping he’s a good breed.

I am moving to Dayton, and I won’t be able to bring my chickens with me. I must either sell them, or eat them. I’ve got 4 1/2 weeks (until October 14) to re-home most of them, before I’ll have to process them for meat. I’d really rather see them go to a good home since most of them are still so...

I feed layer crumbles/pellets with poultry nutribalance and fish meal added in. I also give yogurt and veggie scraps. Free choice grit and eggshell. They are on wood chips with access to an outdoor area penned in with poultry netting, with green stuff to forage. Noticed this evening a baby...

I was told the black ones are australorps. But since so many of my other ones are mixed, I thought I would check here. I don’t know what breed the yellow/tan hen is.

He’s my breeding rooster, so I’d like to know what exactly he is, if I can. Though something tells me he’s likely a mixed breed.

The rooster is 3lbs 11oz, the hen is 4lbs, 6oz. Both have smooth feet, and 4 toes. The rooster has a few feathers on his feet, but they aren’t obvious unless you look closely at his legs. He’s rather skittish, and he tends to squawk really loudly; as of yet I haven’t heard him crow. The hen is...

She had no signs of illness on the outside that I remember, besides maybe a slight case of diarrhea. Her intestines were full of this chunky yellow stuff… it didn’t smell particularly bad that I remember. It was really weird.

Found her like this. Below is a picture of her vent. Is she safe to eat? I don’t want to waste her. She weighs more than the roosters do! She seemed perfectly healthy earlier today. Walking around, eating, drinking, all the normal stuff.

Okay, so first, the basics: I feed them layer pellets, grit, and eggshell, free choice. 2 or 3 times weekly I’ll add a generous amount of yogurt on top. They currently live in a greenhouse with a tarp over part of it for shade. They have access to an outdoor run with mulch. A couple of recent...

This is Precious. She has mycoplasma gallisepticum. Bubbles in her eyes, wheezing, coughing, sneezing, lethargic. Sometimes symptoms would go away almost completely, except for the occasional sneeze. I thought she was fighting it off, like the rest of the flock, but she took a big turn downhill...

Okay, the basics: she eats layer crumbles, sunflower seeds, occasionally yogurt, free-choice grit and egg/oyster shell. Lives in a hoop house with around 40 other chickens, with access to a large mulched area. Today they were given lots of greens, and baked eggs as well. For the past few days...

Okay, so the basics: My chickens were on pasture most of the time until the past week or two, when I moved the flock into the mulch garden for the winter. I feed free-choice layer feed and sunflower seeds, and yogurt made from raw milk when I have it (anywhere from 2-3 times a week to every two...

This is my speckled Sussex hen. She’s around a year old. She’s been panting for the past 3 or so days, and it’s gotten more noticeable since yesterday. It may have been going on longer, as at first I thought she was just struggling with the heat... but since yesterday it’s been unseasonably...

So my Sussex hen Sparkles has this protrusion on her back... I thought it was just a feather growing in weird, but it’s been a few weeks and it’s gotten worse. It looks like a big scab, it’s in a horn shape, and it keeps bleeding some and scabbing back over, making it bigger... what is this...
