My daughter got this chick out of a straight run bin. She cannot remember the breed and well I am clueless... I worry that it may be a boy as it walks around with it's tail standing straight up and my other chicks have theirs down. Anyway what are your thought?
This chick is 6 weeks old. Came out of the blue egg layer bin at the store.. Said pullet but I am thinking this is a roo? Am I correct on sex? Also any guess on breed? Was a white chick and now has brown showing up on chest.
I have 13 - 5 week old chicks. They are all feathered and living in a broader in my garage. We unplug heat lamp durning the day and plug it in at night... When we open the broader they are flying out... So I really would love to get them in the coop. My question is when can I stop the heat lamp...
This chick is 4 weeks old. I know it is a blue something. Anyway it has some extra long tail feathers coming it which is scary as I cannot have a roo... So please tell me what your thoughts are please...
This little one was hatched on May 18. I am so afriad it is a boy which I cannot keep any roo's. So before I sent it to a new home I wanted to check with all of you to see if there could be a chance I am wrong and it could in fact be a pullet. Please let me know what you think. I really like...
I have a broody hen that is hatching eggs. They chicks started slowly working there way out today. Still none hatched but I just went out and found that the one chick that is the closest to being hatched is covered in those little black ants. The chick has broke some of the shell and is still in...
I have a hen that was healthy and doing great lastnight. today I go out and find she laying in the middle of the run. She is breathing but that is it. eyes closed and just laying there. I looked at her vent to make sure it looked normal which it looks fine. When I lifted her tail feathers she...
My chickens are always pecking each other. So half of my chickens don't have feathers on there backs. It got worse a few weeks ago one of my chickens died from a porlasp (not sure if I spelled that right) anyway I went out to feed them and one of my hens backs have green puss coming out. it is...
I have a hen that is almost a year old. I went out to collect eggs and found her in a nesting box closing her eyes. All her feathers are standing straight up. we lifted her and she has poop and something else stuck to her vent. I don't know what to do. She is breathing strange also. I have never...
I have a chicken that is just under a year old. She lays blue eggs and has been giving anywhere from 3 - 5 eggs per week. The past month she hasn't laid 1 egg. She isn't acting sick. She looks better now then ever. she was missing all her back feathers from my other chickens peeking her but that...

after medicated feed what is the next step on feeding my chicks? I am new at this. They are all between 8-12 weeks and I am just about out of the medicated feed so I need to know what to buy next. thanks
This little one is 7 weeks old. When (s)he was only 2 weeks it's comb turned red so I thought for sure it had to be a roo. I went to give him to a local chicken farmer that was picking up my RIR roo and the farmer wouldn't take him / her because he said that with SLW it was way to early to tell...
This is my 10 week old chick. I have no clue what breed (s)he is. They said she would lay blue eggs which would mean EE but from what I have read this isn't a EE. I am new at this chicken thing so I am lost. Also I thought it was a pullet but now it's making some crazy noises. So... What breed...
