Hey guys- I love this community... I have a question: does this look like pecking or fowl pox? It’s only on these two hens out of 10. These two are especially docile. They bow down to all other hens. I have two broody b*****s right now. Would love your input!

Look at her poofy butt! This black hen is one I took in when her flock died off. She is so healthy and such a sweetie. The past owner didn’t know breed, so I’ve been googling. Black feather footed Cochin? Any other ideas?? She lays HUGE brown eggs.

I have the sweetest Olive Egger. She has started laying -inconsistently, but fairly regular for having just started. I am concerned about her comb. This is how it has been developing the entire time, this didn’t occur just overnight. I was expecting it to grow outward and it seems to just be...

I am located in Salem OR. Yesterday, while enjoying Memorial Day celebrations, a random chicken joined us. Our gate had been opened earlier in the day, but we are unsure of exactly how/when it joined us. I am constantly checking the local missing boards to see if anyone is looking for it...

Hello! I have a broody hen sitting on her first clutch of eggs. I am looking for any information you think would be helpful for me. Set up, access by other hens, once chicks hatch, any and all of it! Thanks in advance! Jessie

Hello! I have a chicken that is usually docile. She laid her egg this morning so I don't believe that is weighing into this. Usual behavior when I step outside is she runs to get a pat on the back and snacks. Today, out of the blue She is puffing herself up real big, making ugly sounds at me...

Hi all! Yesterday I had a Crested Cream Legbar go from perky and normal to down in the dumps. I removed her from the other hens, put her in our garage in a cage all to herself, gave her a heated pad, and covered most sides of the cage with a towel. I have a hunch she was egg bound. I was unable...

Hi! We are desperately trying to find Welsummer breeders in Oregon. Preferably near Salem! Does anyone have any connections?! We found two breeders, but we haven't received any responses. We are trying to add two Welsummer pullets to our flock while they are all still young. We cannot have...

Hey all! I am going to be including three photos of each of my "Blue Andalusian" chicks. We bought these from a breeder and she said pullets. I am semi-trusting that determination right now! I have a few questions and I would love to see if you guys could help me out! 1) She said Blue...

I am SUPER excited! We are going to pick up our Crested Cream Legbar pullets today!! Does anyone out there also have chicks, hens, or roosters?! If so, I would LOVE to see photos of them. New to the breed, but from the research I've done I know they will be a wonderful addition! *Jessie

Hi! I posted a few days ago and received a quick response about one of my Welsummers. Unfortunately the verdict of Roo... we can only have pullets. (residential living law). I thought I would give it a try and post my other once more and see if I can generate some additional input. The initial...

I recently purchased ducks... what little messes they are! When I went to pick them up, the lady begged me to take her one and only chick. She said she has NO idea what breed and NO idea on gender. It has transitioned well to being raised with chickens instead of its duck friends... Now that it...

These are my two Welsummer chicks. They are between 4 and 5 weeks of age. Due to our residential zone we can only have pullets. I fear they are both Roos! They are the most friendly babies. Love to snuggle! Any help you have is much appreciated! -Jessie The above are all Chick #1 (3 pics)...
