Haven’t posted here in a while, but I haven’t seen this before with any of my past experiences. This little one started hatching early this morning and was out of their egg by this afternoon, but it seems to have trouble walking and keeps splaying its legs like this. Is he just getting used to...

while i would love to keep these little ones i simply cannot make any more room for more roosters, i’ve already got two and adding more to the flock would throw off our hen to rooster ratio. they’re all very sweet boys with friendly personalities, the red one is the speckled sussex buff cochin...

we recently got a fence up in our back yard that will give the chickens a lot more room for them to roam, and my mother and I were looking for some new additions to the family. our birds are all pets so we aren't necessarily looking for meat birds, but they wouldn't hurt. there is such a variety...

this is my mark the buff cochin, his feet had never looked this bad before and i never noticed due to me being in school most of the day. i’d do the usual, feed them in the mornings before i’d leave and let them out. but today when i actually got the chance to sit with them i noticed his hens...

my ss hen has been looking a little rough lately, and i thought she was just molting but she’s been looking like this for a good few months now, and i don’t think they take that long to molt? (or do they i’m not so sure) could it be that my rooster is mating with her too often? or could it be...

my buff cochin and ss crossed chicks are a little over 7 weeks old now. they’re doing very well, and eating nicely. however, i’m confused as to what they are lol. chick number 1 appears to be a cockerel, while 2, 3, and 4 appear to be pullets. or so i thought. 3 and 4’s posture has me confused...

today is day 20 of the eggs my speckled sussex hen has been sitting on. shes been a very patient momma even in this hot weather we have been getting. she’s currently sitting on 8-10 eggs i’m not sure how many exactly. i’ve never incubated eggs in an incubator nor using a broody hen. and from...

i got up this morning to check on my broody hen (this is around the time she gets up to eat and pop) and i was very alarmed to see an egg attached to her bottom. i went up to her and removed it and noticed it was just the shell. i went over to look in her nesting box and her other remaining eggs...

nearly a week ago our speckled sussex mama has gone broody and is sitting on about 9 eggs. i candled this morning and most of them seem to be developing just fine, our rooster is a buff cochin a little over a year old and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to how the chicks would turn...

we recently got four chicks from a local store, we got two orpington pullets and two straight run bantams. i do believe the little black one is a barred rock bantam, i’m not sure about the other. and gender wise i have no idea for either two. could you guys help.

we have recently gotten these two silkies they’re around three months old and i think we got a male and female. am i right or are they both pullets?

my eight week old orange cochin has been sneezing a bit lately, and he seems to release mucus or something every time he sneezes. he doesn’t seem to be showing any symptoms of anything serious, just sneezing. should i be getting worried? (we’ve been keeping our chickens inside at night since it...
