Another hen or roo post! I was told this baby was a silkie/lavender Orpington cross. Not sure if I believe that, but it’s a total sweetheart either way! Would love your opinions on hen or roo. Baby is about 11-12 weeks old. Thank you so much!!!

Hi all!! We had a random peacock show up and join our chicken flock last year in August. Despite our best attempts to find his original home, he’s continued to live here and free range with the flock. Now, it’s mating season and I know he would like a lady friend. I’m happy to find one...

Hi Everyone!! I just wanted to say that I'm obsessed with this community. You all have helped me when I was in a pinch and needed bird advice.

I have a bird that is giving me the craziest eggs. Anyone have any idea what’s going on here? Or what might cause this? All of her eggs look like this! They are also very very round.

Hi BYC! I’ve been avoiding the truth that this Olive Egger is a roo. So now I’m turning to you folks to confirm my suspicions. Absolutely no signs of roo behavior... yet. No crowing, aggression or fighting with the other roos. But after I took the bottom picture a few days ago and saw...

Hi my dearest chicken community, My good friend is moving away and gifted me his best laying hen. He had no ideas as to her breed. Can anyone help? She’s HUGE, much bigger than my RIR and a bit bigger than my Dominique girls. Thank you for any and all feedback!

Hi everyone! I need some help figuring out if this chick is a dude! She was sold to me as an Ameraucauna 7 weeks ago, but I think she might be an Easter Egger? I got her with another chick labeled Ameraucauna and since then she’s grown a lot bigger than the sister she came with! Her markings...

Hi everyone! I just got home from picking up some chicks at my local feed store. When I got home and inspected the chicks further I noticed that one of the bantams has some sort of infected toe. I’m wondering if you folks can tell if this is bumblefoot or just some sort of weird toenail...
