Hi y'all I'm in search of some deep chocolate colored egg layers. I'd like to. It 6 eggs too hatch, I have 2 Black copper marans already but they just aren't laying as dark as I'd hoped (they just started laying a couple weeks ago). I understand they lighten with age and each egg can vary in...

I just hatched two beautiful healthy baby chicks yesterday, my first time! Today I was checking them out for any pasty butt to find what appeared as "poo" stuck to one of the chicks. I soaked it for like 30 mins with no success, kind of pinched it a bit to see if it was softening, rubbed it...

Here are some pictures of my flock that I took today, I will just say- excuse the yard, winter was not kind to my grass this year and the chickens names... I have no idea where they come from, its literally the first name that pops into mind while i'm looking at one of them and it usually...

Hi ya'll, I follow a chicken forum in my area and saw a pretty blue orpington/cochin (not sure) on the page with an injury. The previous owner is not sure how it happened, she just cannot take care of her due to the holiday season coming up. This little girl is only 6 months old, not laying...

Hello, I'm so upset! I was in the kitchen, back door open, and heard a chicken squabble... I ran out to see my dog chasing off a hawk and my little rooster hobbling away. Right after it happened, he was open-mouth breathing (to be expected with a near death attack, right?) and limping. I didn't...

So remember I posted about "should I get a new rooster??" Well, I happen to find someone in the area trying to get rid of an Ameri-Flower rooster. I had responded to their craigslist ad just a day short, they had already taken him to a feed store near by. I packed up my Brahma rooster and...

Hello! My chickens still don't do the submissive squat for my rooster, we have had him for 4 and a half months now. Maybe i'm being too impatient but I just have this feeling that they really hate this guy. They are smaller hens, americana's, while he is a brahma. One of my hens has completely...

I have 1 salmon faverolle and noticed she lays rather small eggs compared to everyone else (americauna is what I am comparing to). If she does lay a larger egg, I can almost guarantee it will have 2 yolks. Is this normal for this breed?

My Barred Rock is seriously hungry 24/7, I used to love her cause she was always the first to try new foods that I would introduce but then she found the glory of eating her own eggs... I thought maybe it was a diet problem- we free-range but leave pellets out with easy access, I started...

Hello, we noticed yesterday that Chancy (Barred Rock) was not herself, she is just laying in the yard and closing her eyes like she's sleeping. She has always been the first to greet me and she still laid an egg yesterday and has been laying consecutively everyday, this is NOT HER at all! It has...

Hello! I just purchased a cute little Americauna chick the other day from the feed store, she is so pretty! I'm just trying to figure out what color she is, i've never seen one like her! She was born May 14

Hola! I'm new to BYC and had my hens for a year now- we have a salmon favorolle, barred rock, 2 americaunas. I just purchased a black australorp, buff orpington, and a polish hen. All's well now but I just trapped an opossum that had taken one of my americaunas- tis the season for opossum...
