Hi Everyone, hoping some of the fellow chicken keepers know a bit about pigeons. I bought a trio 3-4 weeks ago and I let them fly for the first time today. It wasn’t until about 2 hours before dark they noticed their exit way. 2 flew, but 1 stayed. They hung around close the whole time. They...

Hey everyone, My search online was not fruitful. I’ve had my beautiful Sizzle Rooster in amongst 3 pure Polish girls I bought last year (a golden, a white crested and an all white). I’ve popped a bunch of their eggs in the incubator and wondering what the odds are that I will end up with some...

Hi Everyone, hoping someone knows what's going on and what I should do with my sweet chick. They hatched 5 days ago. This particular chick hatched later than the others. When he hatched, the bottom of one of his feet was filled with clear fluid. When I noticed and touched it, it popped and the...

Hi All, I've read a bunch of forums and understand this could be mites or a fungal problem, was hoping my pictures might provide something that I could get a definitive answer on so I can treat accordingly. This chicken has flaky skin all over her body. One of these photos with the very...

Hi Everyone, One of my Silkies has a problem with her Vent - It's been going on for quite a long time, and nothing I do seems to resolve it. I've been treating for Vent Gleet, but the images I see online of chickens who have Vent gleet generally have wet, poopy feathers near their Vent and it's...

Hi Everyone, I gave all my chickens an Ivermectin dose (orally) last night, but I also have some chicks that just hatched. (They didn't get Ivermectin) Wondering if it is fairly safe to feed the starter feed medicated with Amprol to birds that also just received an Ivermectin dosage. I want to...

Hi everyone, one of my silkie hens was getting too much action from the roosters. I have since rearranged and have a much better balance. All of my hens with missing feathers are growing theirs back, except one. I'm not sure if I should pluck these broken ones out to encourage regrowth. Based on...

Hi Everyone, I'm worried my sweet young silkie has Marek's disease. She has been like this for about 4 days. I brought her inside the house when I noticed she was not able to get up the ramp to go into her house at night, and took her outside today just so I could video her walking. She was not...

Hey Everyone, I've had an ongoing problem with one of my Silkes, Pontius Pilate (Ponch). Over a month ago, I went out to feed treats to the flock, and they all came running. A larger hen jumped in the air and landed on top of Ponch. The bird stood on top of her for a few seconds as Ponch was on...

Hi Fellow Chicken lovers, I hatched 28 of my own chicken eggs and all have been healthy, on medicated started and water. They are 2.5 weeks old, but yesterday one of them was hunched over and not happy, eyes shut, non-responsive, at some times it's been lying on it's side while I wait for it...

Hi everyone, I had 2 girls go broody together, they kept stealing all the eggs in the coop so were sitting on 25. After 4 hatched they stopped sitting. I put the rest of the eggs in my incubator and hatched out all the rest except a few. I was able to get the moms with their babies into their...

Hey guys, one of my hens is panting. They were free ranging yesterday and today. I noticed yesterday she wasn't really hanging out with the others, and tonight I went to put her back in the coop and although usually really tough to catch, I was able to just approach and pick her up. That's when...

Hi Everyone, I bought some hatching eggs, and this one came out. I cannot remember for the life of me what breed she said they were, but only 2 hatched. :( He's about 2 months old, and really tame...Anyone recognize this as a breed? And can we tell sex yet? We named it "Rambo". Thank you!
