So .... I bought 6 pullet chicks from a feed store for a broody. I didn't look them over closely when I got them and the broody is so protective I haven't handled them until today. The silkie chick got out of the run and I scooped her up to return her and wanted to check out her feet cause I...

First time having a rooster. Are these eggs fertile?

They are 5 1/2 weeks old. I'm pretty sure the dark one jersey giant / Orpington-EE mix is a Roo. Not sure at all about the whitish colored one Leghorn / Orpington-EE mix. Your guesses would be helpful thanks!

The momma wont let me get real close to the babies so I had trouble getting face pics. Only two of her 12 eggs hatched they are 2 weeks old now. The dark one is a jersey giant / Orpington EE mix the yellow one is a white leghorn/ Orpington mix.

I'm just closing in on my first year of chicken keeping. About a week or so ago one of my hens went broody so last Wednesday I got her a dozen fertile eggs. All has been going well. One egg broke, I think because I let her stay in a nest box and the others join her to lay. Well yesterday another...

help! how do I get rid of lice on my chickens?! I looked over the chickens that squat for me when I approach them but never look at their vent (idk know why? cause it seems gross and weird) . They are 7 months old and haven't started laying eggs yet (most of them) so I thought I'd look at their...

I have my first chickens. Pullets. Two 9 wk old speckled sussex and two 10 wk EEs. How can you tell if you may have cockerels? It's my two EEs I worry about. They flap their wings and run at each other ( do hens do that? )

My pullets are eating the pine shavings used for bedding. They seem to just love it. They of corse are still eating their feed, I just concerned that eating wood shavings is bad for them. Anyone have any thoughts on if it's ok or not. Should I use different bedding/litter?

We are building a new run/coop for our 4 girls. The coop part is 5ft x 3ft. How would you do the litter? Deep liter? Pine with sweet pdz just sweet pdz. I don't think the floor is big enough for a poop board. What do you think? I'm attaching a picture. We are obviously still mid construction and...
