Hey there. Some of my hens just started laying this week. I have 5 hens, but have only gotten 3 eggs/day max, so some still haven’t started laying. I’m not sure if this hen has started to lay or not, but I noticed it’s butt has some funny looking stuff in its feathers. I figured it’s just dried...

I know there is no definitive answer to this question, but I am anxious and just want everyone’s opinion! Here are my 5 chickens, do y’all think they’ll start laying soon!?

My chicken has been favoring one of its legs and has not been really moving at all. And when it does it limping. I rubbed the leg all over and inspected the foot and couldn’t find any signs of an injury, and when I squeeze her little feet she didn’t seem to wince at all as if she was bruised...

These were sold to me as hens, but someone indicated that the buff may be a roo. Any thoughts???

Please don’t let it be true... I got five chicks from a friend with the hopes that I’d get at least a few hens out of it. I had to rehome the other four because they were definitely Roos. I thought this was my only hen from the batch so I bought two more, and now I think this ones a roo too...

I used some material I already had in my house/shed to build my nesting boxes. Do they need to be covered/more private or do you think my girls will like it?

My chicks are a couple days past 4 weeks now. Can anyone identify breeds/gender yet, or should I wait a few more weeks and post more pictures: This one is definitely a rooster- caught him trying to crow the other morning. But what breed is he?? And these three all look similar, can anyone...

Hi there. I’m new to chickens. My chicks are 2.5 weeks old and I’m building their coop right now. I’m in southwest Florida where it’s HOT and STICKY. I’m wondering if my design of having an “open” concept coop is a bad idea. See my progress attached. I’m going to leave the coop only partially...

I have chicks that are two weeks old today. One of them is completely different than any breed I’ve seen online, and I’m not sure if there might be something wrong with it, but I haven’t been able to find any help online diagnosing it. This chick acts totally normal (eats, poops, flaps around...
