TheChickenGuru01 please !!

Hello, my flock has a chicken that we don't know if it is waterbelly or eggbound. My question is, is that do chickens lay while having waterbelly? thanks. Also, I know my grammar isn't exactly up to par on those sentences, I'm just in a rush.

I give mine seeds and worms at around 2 months old. I have 15 birds and they lay around a dozen each day.I don't see any health problems. Most of them are going on their 3rd year. :fl. Hope this helps

I have similar experiences all the time. Greeting new chicks into the older ones yard is easier than you'd think. I have a Plan "A" and a Plan "B" lol . Plan "A", is just supervising the new chicken around the old chicken for about an hour every 2 - 3 hours. Usually, in the next 5 days or so...

My phone broke during the lock down, so I can't record it. But she just makes the noise a broody bird does when you try to get the eggs. lol

If you bought/hatched chicks with it ; compare its feathers to other chicks its age. If it has less feathers it may be a rooster. Another sign would be bigger legs, and bigger combs that are more red than the average chick. Lastly, a cockerel may have pointy feathers near its "mane" or neck...

"Don't tell anyone ... But I think I found out where fried chicken comes from."

The noise isn't so cheerful... lol Whenever I go to try to pick her up she makes the noise.

In Two of my chickens, Kentucky and Aretha, they seem to always make the brooding sound, even when they're not broody. Kentucky has been one of our most broody birds, so she may have become accustomed to that sound, but Aretha has never been broody. When I try to pet or pick Aretha up she makes...

Congrats!!! They taste soooo gooood!! :pop

Hmmm... #1 Lavender Orpington #2 Black Jersey Giant #3 Buff Cochin #4 golden laced wyandotte Completely different than the one above me, although I think mine may be correct.

In the bay area, where I live, we just got our first break from 100+ degrees of weather every single day. On Wednesday, the 22nd, It's going to return back to 100 for about a week, what can I do to help my chickens not die of heat stroke, like 2 already have.?

the low is 52, and yeah they are fully feathered, thanks

I have 3 7-9 week old chicks and i’m wondering if they can withstand lower 50’s tonight.. an answer would be great, thanks!!

Almost exact same thing happened to us and our 4 month old chick. our heating lamp was unstable and sitting on a ledge, our dog hit the box hard and the lamp fell on her. She was shaking and twitching and then all the sudden she stopped moving. Our children had to go to school and I had to work...

Normal behavior. What worked personally for me is I locked em all up together, and then let them fight it out, WITH SUPERVISION, so nothing goes wrong. This way, it'll show em the pecking order.

Forgot to add, but some pulleys have black combs until laying point, that is most definitely the “problem”

I think maybe mites could be the problem, but don’t take my word. When mites are a problem, clean your chicken along with the coop and usually that fixes the problem. If you can, try to get water and try to brush the black off. Was the comb like that when she was first hatched/ when you got...

Welcome to BYC ! :welcome The rooster would likely attack the hens because it’s not used to them. Try to gradually get the hens and roosters together, if I were you, I’d let the rooster with the hens, but watch and if the roo attacks, separate them for a bit, and then bring them back together...

Sooo cute!!
