Hi ya'll! I got his guy from TSC. I have no idea what he is. I do know that he crows, but shows no signs of wattles, at all. He will be 8 weeks on Tuesday. I thought he would at least show signs of waddles growing, but nope. In my experience, with my other roostesr, the waddle growth was one of...

Hi! I have a young pullet.. probably 20 weeks old that I found unable to stand. Her right leg keeps going back behind her. Her left leg is fine.. she sits on it like a normal chicken would. She is alert, her wings work fine, she holds her head up she will eat.. but not much. When I first found...

Hello! I made a ramp for the chickens to get to the roost but I think its too steep. The roost is probably 4 1/2 feet. Some of my heavy girls are having issues. I also recently moved them into this coop so they are still getting used to everything. My question is.. do you think this ladder is...

Hello Chicken Tenders! I have a question. I am going to pick up 2 Show Girl chicks this morning. The are 1 week old. I have a broody Barred Rock. Do you think I can put the chicks with her or are they too old? I have no experience with this part. Will the others beat up on the chicks if I put...

Hi! I just wanted to post a pic of the final project. We finally had a break in rain long enough to get the sun shade up. Hopefully this will help.

My husband and I built a hoop coop that is mostly tarped with 1/4 of the hoop not tarped and the ends not tarped. I have 10 young pullets in it. I went out there a few minutes ago and it was 102 in there! The tarp is just trapping heat! Does anyone else have this problem? I dunked my girls in a...

Hello! I have raised baby chicks before and normally they use the brooder plate. Here is my current scenario. I have 10 chicks, 5 are 2 weeks old and 5 are a week old. They are in a brooder in an extra bedroom. I have a brooder plate that says it will cover 10 chicks. Most of them are cuddled...

Hey ya'll! I know this is probably going to sound stupid but I do not know what ringworm looks like on a chicken comb. I know its white but I feel like all my chickens have white in/on their combs. I have attachdd two pictures. One, my blue star, looks like she has something going on with her...

Hello! Does anyone know what might cause this? He is acting normal, no drainage from eye, mouth or nose. Only swollen around the eye. I put a warm compress on it. I only have visine drops handy. I ordered some Vetericyn antimicrobial wash. What else can I do?

Hi! I have 8 original hens. I got 5 Polish chickens. Only 1 is a hen, the others are roos. One of the roos ended up with wry neck so he was inside with me until he was well. I let Stevie (the one that had wry neck) free range all day while the others are in the run. My 8 and Polish are in...

Hi I went to put my chcikens up for the evening and found my favorite with a crooked neck. She was fine last time I checked on them. I brought her inside and have her caged alone. I have not delt with this before. She is a 6wk old polish. She just walks in circles or lays with her head all...

Hi! I have a question for Polish chick owners. I read an article that said in the first 2 weeks of a Polish chicks life you can tell their gender by their top knots. Females will have a nice round top knot and boys will have a rectangular or mohawk shaped one. Is there any truth to this?

Hello! Anyone in central Texas want a 6 weeks Buff Polish cockerel. I ended up with 3 and do not have nearly enough hens. I wish I could keep them all.

Hey Ya'll! I have 5 Polish 6 weeks old chicks and I know I have at least 2 roos, the buff and the golden. They are a little more obvious. I am sure my white one is a pullet but my other BCW and my other one I am not so sure. I am hoping they are pullets so I can keep them all. What do you think?

Hello! I recently purchased 5 Polish chicks. They are 6 weeks old. I have read what seems to be a lot of conflicting information about how to tell if they are hens or roos. I am pretty certain I have at least 2 roos, the other 3 I am not sure. I really do not want to have to get rid of any of...

Hey ya'll! Can any Polish chicken owners out there tell me what kind of Polish chicken she is? I thought she was going to be White Crested Blue but now I am not sure. She is 3 weeks old. Thanks!

Hi! It's really HOT in TX. We are going through an awful drought. One of my girls has some yellowish water poop and threw up some water.

Hi ya'll! I have chickens and goats, literally in my backyard. We have a standard privacy fence and I have a run (not the best right now) that my goats keep braking into. My question is: Is there anyone out there that has goats and chickens that just free roam? If so, how do you keep the goats...
