Hi there, I have 4 chicks at 8 weeks old. They are from a mixed flock. I think the white one (Houdini) might be from the blue Araucana egg though sadly I was away when they hatched and my husband didn't check. The black one (Spot) had a yellow spot on its head as a little chick. This one...

That would be great. I know they do have EE’s. It’s growing a little slower than I expected which would perhaps agree with one of the bigger Heritage breeds. Oh I also just remembered, I think it was a pale brown egg. I was sad when the Araucana egg proved to be infertile.

Hi all, got this chick from a set of eggs from a farm, hatched by my own broody hen. They have a lot of breeds of hen and also several roosters. As a result I have no idea who the culprits are. Any help with identifying breed? At 6 wks I’m not expecting to be able to sex it yet but… not...

Hi there, One of my chickens has a weird growth on her wing. She's had it for about a year now and it keeps getting bigger. At first it just looked like a fat lump covered in skin under the feathers, but now it has like bone growing out of it. She doesn't seem at all bothered by it, she was...

I really wanted to see this, but unfortunately, the page must have been moved. Can you edit the post to reflect this please?

Thanks for the response! Only learned about the lice very recently. we have dusted chooks with DE being careful to keep it away from their faces, installed a better dust bath for them, and have been researching external parasites treatments - a friend who is going to be a vet just told me...

Pic not found. I'm really interested to see what colour egg!

Hi all! Nice to finally join, hope for some comments on potential diagnosis. Now for the chicken sickness background. I had chooks as a girl and me and hubby decided to have some in our garden nearly 2 years ago. So we spent one summer building a chicken tractor (moveable coop) that we...
