I have a naked neck that is about six months old. She is our youngest chicken, but she is fierce and definitely not at the bottom of the food chain. A few weeks ago, small black spots began showing up on her comb. I wasn't worried about them since it's super hot in Texas. I figured it wasn't...

I have a beautiful rooster for sale! He is an amazing protector. I had a problem with losing chicks previously, but I did not lose one with him this year! Sadly, I have to sell him simply because he was miss-sexed, and I already have a rooster! He has a beautiful white/creamy shade to his...

My silkie rooster has tiny white balls imbedded in his feathers around his neck. I figured automatically they were either mites or lice and bought some spray. I've been treating him with some spray that seems to be clove oil and soap. I've become worried as I have 12 chickens total. The hen...

Hello! My mom and I stumbled across this snake in our chicken coop. Surprisingly, he had gotten himself wrapped around the bird netting we had used to keep our little chicks safe. We were wondering what type of snake this was and if it were a threat? If so, what can we do to prevent them...

My naked neck chick has a clean slice halfway around her neck. She's the first turken I've had, so I want to be sure I help her correctly. With my mom's help, I sprayed the wound with Vetericyn and wrapped it with gauze. However, since we didn't want to cut off her airway, it was loose. She...

I just wanted to share my love with the Backyard Chicken community. Y'all's support and help have aided me in saving two of my chickens that were near death AND helped me go from barely being capable of caring for 3 chickens go owning 12! :) I'm a happy chicken lover that's escatic to be apart...

I was gifted three chickens for my birthday. One struggled to fit in, as he was pushed to the bottom of the pecking order, while the other morphed into the flock. However, I have one that is extremely aggressive. She goes out of her way to bother chickens from my existing flock and even the...

I have a Leghorn/Easter Egger mix rooster that is about 4 months old. He is so kind and actually prefers to be with smaller hens closer to his age and has just begun to crow the past week! I'm sure he'll make a lovely stud. He does not have a preference with either of the Americana hens and...

Hello! I am, sadly, having to re-home/sell a couple of hens and a rooster that didn't combine well with my current flock. I'm looking into purchasing some more chickens, but I want a breed variety! Currently, I have a Silkie (rooster), three Americanas, a Buff Orpington, two Barred Rocks, a...

Hello! I have 20 posts and have agreed to the terms, but I am still unable to create a classified auction post under the Buy, Sell, and Trade option. I would appreciate help with this, as I need to re-home/sell some lovely hens and a rooster ASAP! :) Thank you beforehand! :)

My grandparents gifted me three chickens: two americanas already laying and one leghorn who is supposed to begin laying in one month. However, I've noticed the leghorn has begun crowing. This makes me nervous, as we already have an accidental rooster (though he's a Dollie and I knew he couldn't...

I originally posted about my chicken (who is almost a year old) being very lethargic, having yellow diarrhea, and being feather and bone. She obviously hasn't been eating the past two days. After a rectum exam, it's obvious she's not egg-bound. There are no worms. I initially thought it was egg...

Clove, the chicken in question, is barely a year old. We have several other laying hens, but I don't think she has laid an egg the past two days, which is strange and abnormal. I saw her poop yesterday and it was liquid and yellow. She has been falling asleep while standing. At first, I just...

For my birthday, my grandparents got me 3 new hens! I was so excited to add to my flock, especially since we lost so many chicks to predators and spent a lot of time (and money) securing our new coop. We brought in the new hens at night so they could roost with our old chickens, which included...
