this is my leader of the pack but lately she seems very tired and blinks slowly... she is still eating and drinking but I know she is not acting herself. Any ideas?? I’ve checked for mites. Her vent looks fine. Her crop doesn’t feel hard. But I’m so worried ;(

Hi all, my chickens are about 1.5 years and I noticed 1 of them has her ears/side of face turning white. She’s in good spirits and has normal looking poop and has been laying eggs like the others. Any ideas? I have looked for mites on her but not 100% on what I am actually looking for. A picture...

Hi all, I have sex links and 1 polish. The are all panting bc it is sooo hot out. They have shade where all of them are. I gave them ice cubes they are not interested.. I also gave them a little tub of water and they do not go in that either.. are they going to be alright? I’ve never heard of...

Hi all, is it too late to condition them to allow me to pick them up at 14 weeks old? If not, how would I begin this process? Backstory: I have had all of my chickens since they were 2 weeks old. They are now 14 weeks old. They are red and gold sex links chickens. When I kept them in the...

So I’m very afraid that my polish is getting pecked as everyone else has warned me. what’s weird is I’ve never seen the birds come close to doing it to her and she seems to be high in the pecking order... she will run right in front and under the other birds if I’m giving out treats and the...

Ok y’all. I need some advice. My 6 chicks are 8 & 6weeks old. I really want them out of the house but I’m also a scared 1st time chicken mommy. My hubby built a 4x8 coop that is insulated. I really don’t like the thought of putting a heat lamp out there just due to fire hazard. Do you use a heat...

Hi All, I've got another one for you: I had poll beans in my garden for the last few years (in many different areas around my back yard, trying to figure out what spot works best for them). I just read that beans are toxics for chickens but Ive also noticed there is a lot of controversy in many...

Hi all, my chicks will be 4weeks and 6weeks and I have been feeding them starter food. They are almost completely out of food so I bought grower from the local ranch supply store. I noticed the new food says grower and starter mix (medicated!) is this alright to give my chicks after they have...

Hi All, I have kept my heat lamp on 100% since we got the chicks. I have raised it up a bit since they were brand new. We have a large brooder so they can escape from the heat easily. I think their brooder ranges from about 85-74 with the heat lamp staying on... Now that most will be turning 6...

Hi all! Me and my hubby are really hoping she is a lil girl. She is our only chick that is not a sexlink of some sort. What are your thoughts? She is about 4weeks.

just wanted to introduce myself! My husband and I have been talking about getting our own chickens for about a year and we finally decided to take the plunge! We originally bought three red sex links and two black Polish babies. As I new mommy (of chicks only) I dove into researching what to...

Pictures below. We got these ones bc they say 99% sexed by color... but after looking at more pictures online, I am hoping they are all girls!! Two of them were way redder in color, while the other one golden... now they are about 3 weeks old and seem to be all growing in red feathers... do they...
