So I ordered chicks from the Welp hatchery. It was a disaster...over half arrived dead and I lost more after that but that's a story for another day. Anyway... From that order I only ended up with one Red Shouldered Yokohama. I wanted a rooster of this breed super bad. I bet it is a hen but...

I got these roosters at the sale barn. I was told they are silkies. They don't have the puff on top of their heads though. I wonder if they got picked on by other chickens and plucked? Maybe they'll grow back or do you think they are mixed? I don't mind either way... they are cute and both...

So I bought all my chicks together from a hatchery. They hatch and ship the same day. I noticed that my one Red Shouldered Yokohama got his feathers at a much sloweer rate than the rest. He is also the smallest chick. (compared to California whites, cochins) Is there a reason why? Is that...

So I adopted two adult silkie roosters.. one full black in color and the other fully white. Then I added in my chicks... (all hens) 2 cochins, 3 rhode islands, 1 yokohama, 2 California Whites, and 7 silver laced Wyandottes. I expected the adult roosters to be in charge but it seems the...

So I am going to order chicks from the Welp hatchery online for the first time. The minimum order for chicks is 25 and females have to be purchased in groups of 5 by breed. Males you can order less. So... Can I order say 32 chicks? Or must I order in groups of 25? HELP!

A goose riding a ewe. :)

My babies!

I had a RIR disappear for two weeks and turn up sitting on a nest in the baler inside the shed. We let her sit another week and realized the eggs were no good. I removed her and put her in a tub with pine chips with a set of new eggs. The first one hatched today! I am so excited. I...

Someone gave me a billy and nannie. Can anyone tell me what breed they are?

One of my rhode island reds is broody. I discovered just now. She is sitting in a nest box all poofed out and she sort of growls at me for getting too close. I have always wanted one of my hens to go broody but now what do I do? I imagine the three week wait is going to kill me. I have a...

I have been wanting one of my hens to go broody but so far none of the 18 have. Today I was given a new rooster and a "broody hen." She came with her clutch of eggs but no longer sits on them. I assume the long drive in a crate was the cause. How long before I can expect her to go broody again?

I have been wanting a broody hen and a new rooster... someone gave me both today. Can anyone identify the breed? The broody hen is pictured too. I was told she is a bantam, but what is the rooster?

Found this old girl in the lamb feeder. Guess she tried to roost and fell in. She can't walk so I am assuming she has a broken leg. Is there anything I can do for her? She's alert.

I don't know what happened for sure but I think my male goose attacked my poor chicken, "Broken Toe." She was the leader of the chicken pack and has one broken looking sideways toe. The other day I went to lock up my chicky mamas and my gander as it was getting dark and she was missing. My...
