Need advice for a new baby chick! Broody mom hatched 3 eggs over a week ago and she was still sitting on 2 eggs some parts of the day and then walking around with the chicks the other parts of the day. I didn't think the 2 eggs were going to hatch....but one did this morning! Problem is that...

Baby was born Sunday and something happened between birth and when we realized the first baby hatched that same afternoon. Baby was way far from the nesting box with mama on top of her. I scooped them both up quickly and put them back. After putting them back I realized I should have looked baby...

One of my chickens is dying with the same symptoms as 2 others within the last 6 weeks. I’d like to take her body to have a necropsy done at a nearby lab that does this here in Alabama. Do you know if these labs typically take walk-ins? Or would I have to call first? They are 30 min away and it...

Several times lately, I’ve heard what sounds like one of our 8 week old chicks trying to crow. Is that possible at such a young age? There are 2 full grown roosters in the chicken run near the chick area, so they do hear roosters crowing. I am not 100% which one of the 5 chicks it is because he...

I have a 6 week old chick who suddenly developed a crooked neck last week. It first started out looking like a growth on her right shoulder which caused her head/neck to be shifted to the left. It was fairly hard feeling and I could gently move her neck in the right direction but only a little...

My chickens were just attacked by a hawk! I ran outside to stop it. One of my girls got attacked pretty good on the comb of her head. How can i doctor her up?! What else can I do for her??

How do I introduce a young rooster to my established hen flock of 9?

This is my neighbor's rooster and he is the friendliest! What breed is he? I'd love to get one like him :clap

I am pulling my hair out trying to find the best solution for my chicken coop floorings. My chickens will be free ranging here pretty soon, so J am not too concerned about a special flooring for the run, just the coop. I am in lower AL so it gets pretty hot and humid in the winter. I have read...

Ok I am second guessing myself. I thought my new chicken was an Australorp, but Black Stars and Black Rocks look so much the same! When she is in the light, her feathers have a beautiful green color and it sometimes looks blue, which doesn't show up in these pics. What do you think? Thanks!!

Hi everyone! I grew up in the city and now live in the country and loving it! My husband and kiddos just got 10 pretty girls yesterday and loving learning all about them! 5 are full grown leghorns I think, and the other 5 are almost a year old. One I think I ID's as an Austradorp, one a Barred...

These girls were hatched in February 2016. I am having a hard time identifying them. We just got them yesterday from a friend who also doesn't know what breed they are. Many thanks!
