Not sure how or what happened. This little one hatched earlier today. I checked on mama and saw this ones head was bleeding. I brought it in and put it in a brooder. I don't really want to take it from mama but was worried about the baby getting hurt. She is alert and running around and the...

Bought an assortment of egg layer pullets (3 white and 3 brown eggers) and I've get this adorable little girl. She is a brown egg layer but I've no idea what breed. She is smaller than the Austra white and orpington chicks. I want given a list of possible breeds so was hoping someone had seen...

Got these sweet "girls" today supposed to be two dominique/dominicker pullets about 2 months old. Both have Grey down legs but the one has a bigger comb and waddles.

She has no cuts or scrapes just missing some feathers and I'm pretty sure she injured her toe but she seems to use it ok just her nail wont straighten and was grindy at the joint. more concerning is that she wont put her leg up under her. She leaves it straight out behind. she swims and uses...

Dolly is a Dixie hen who just started laying at about 8 mo old (we had a rough beginning of the year no one has been laying well for a couple months). I've got 3 fairy eggs from her the first two just had egg white in them and they have been aabout 4 days apart this one was only 2 days since...

Any ideas as to why she makes this noise. I call it a girl but I am unsure as if yet if it really it is. It sounds like a miniature rooster crow. My video is too large will try to upload another one. She is 7 weeks this Thursday. Can a rooster crow that early??

No idea if a chicken can get a sinus infection. She has been acting fine eating and drinking. I have noticed she has stayed closer to the coop than the others but its been bad wet and cold for 3 weeks now. Everything is saturated and it shows no signs of drying up soon. Today I noticed a faint...

Ok my first time incubating and 2 of my 4 eggs have developed I was going to lockdown my eggs on day 17 and up the humidity. Unfortunately this little one had other ideas. My eggs were point down in the tray and I hand turned them all seemed well. This morning I continued my turning routine and...

This is the first time my ducks have laid eggs. i have two mallard drakes and two Rouen hens. I looked today and I have 4 eggs in a nest on the floor of the coop. id like to leave them and see if they will hatch but its so late in the year and I haven't seen either hen on the nest. How long can...

I purchased 6 pullets about month ago. They were in an egg layer mix I have for sure an Australorp, 2 red sexlink, and a RiR but the other two I can't figure out. They are also quite a bit larger than the others. I was told that Leghorn and welsummer were both in there but they don't seem...

My hen hatched and raised 10 babies. They are about 3 months of old and she wants nothing to do with them. They can just be standing in the grass and she will charge them everybody else gets along great. But the fear of that hen is keeping the 4 babies I kept from roosting in the coop. What do I...

I have a brown Leghorn rooster and am currently trying to hatch several eggs. I have a Barred Rock, RIR, Buff Brahma and an Amaracana( I think she has fluffy cheeks a beard and slate gray legs) I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of chicks mixed with leghorns. I'm curious to see what...

So I am fairly new to backyard chicken keeping. My girls are all at least 1 yr old. They come up to you when called but several are still pretty skittish. My two braver girls will eat out of your hand. I'm trying to teach them to get onto a perch when I say up. We have started with a 2x4 on the...

I Gathered my eggs this afternoon and discovered a fairy egg. The weather has been very strange with the temperature jumping from below freezing to the 60's and back to the 40's with rain. I had an extra full size rubber egg a couple weeks ago. (6 eggs in one day from 5 hens) All my ladies are...
