And hopefully be happy without friends their own size? Would love to hear success stories if anyone has them.

Hello! I received my spring chicks last week and unfortunately 2 of my 3 Mille fleur D’uccles didn’t make it. So I have one lone bantam amongst Brahmas and Orpingtons. Right now there are 9 other chicks, but my kids are raising them for our 4H auction. In the end there will likely be one...

Hello! I am thinking of getting a Bantam splash Ameraucana from Meyer Hatchery in a few weeks. They are a new breed for them, and I’m curious if any of you have had experience with this specific type from Meyer? Would you recommend the breed? They don’t have any reviews on their site yet. Thank...

Hello! We are considering getting started pullets from My Pet Chicken. Has anyone had experience with getting the older ones shipped? How did they do? And are they just as friendly as the chicks you raised from babies - or not? :) Thank you!

Hello! Can y'all help with this little one? This is a black ameraucana. The comb is still only has a single row, but it is on the pink side. Now the red leakage in its hackles are making me wonder. Can a pullet have red leakage like this? Wondering if there's still any hope for it to be a...

Hello, My 15 month old golden sex link hen has had diarrhea for 3 weeks. She basically has runny poop coming out of her vent, however does seem to get some solid stuff out too. I've isolated her from the rest of the flock and have been putting Duramycin-10 (tetracycline hydrochloride powder)...

Hello everyone, One of my hens seems to be sick. She is a 14 month old golden sex link. She has poop dripping out of her vent (see image below - sorry, it's yucky). I noticed the issue yesterday when my other two other hens were picking on her yesterday, so now she has secluded herself in the...

Oh - and I don't see feathers anywhere in the coop or in their run. -Katie

I just went out and looked at them with a flashlight. Would I see bugs on the bald spots if they had parasites? Thanks for all the input! Katie

They are about 5 and a half months old.

Would it be inflamed if it were lice or some sort of parasite? Thank you! Katie

Nope. No rooster.

I have three golden sex link hens. I just noticed a bald spot on two of them right above their vent - about the size of a large lemon (pictured below). The spots are not red or inflamed in any way and no sores. The other hen looks to be just fine. I'd love to hear if any of you have thoughts...

Hello everyone! First off - thanks to all of you for all the fantastic information. I've been learning so much. I have three 4 1/2 week old golden sex links girls. They are going to live in a tractor while I build their more permanent all season home this summer. Space is a little limited...
