Hi all. Ive never raised silkies from chicks so Im not sure if this is normal. I noticed my splash silkies both have these bald spots on their backs. None of the others have this. They’re six weeks old and inside the house. I dont see any bugs on them or the others. Anyone know what may be...

Hi All, this is “Who” a 9 week old easter egger ( I think). Do you think this is a hen or roo?

Hi All, Yesterday a hawk attacked and killed my silkie and basically fed on her for over an hour until there was very little left. I caught the whole thing on video. Poor baby thought it was clear after waiting when the others ran for cover and it wasnt. I'm hesitant now to let them all out in...

Hi all I got a Welsummer female and a few others from McMurray hatchery about 4 weeks ago. I received a freebie and I have no idea which is my female Welsummer and which is the freebie or what breed the freebie might be. Any ideas? Picture 1 and 2 with the purple bag behind it I think is the...

Hi all, I have a White Rock that has been laying for a few months now. She lays medium size eggs about every day to two days. She is 8 months old. Yesterday morning I found a soft shelled egg under her roosting bar and then this morning found one without a shell. She is now pacing in and out of...

Hi All, I have a SS that is about 8 months old, started laying around 23 weeks and is still laying small eggs. She is super chatty, and a great forager. Her eggs are the size of my Silkies eggs. She lays about 4 eggs/week. Should I be concerned or do some just lay smaller than “average” egg...

Hi all. I could really use some help. I’ve had my flock for nearly a year after having left my last one in another state. I never had issues with my last flock and this time I feel like a failure since I’ve had nothing but loss. I thought maybe it was how they were hatched/raised and they had...

Hoping you all can help me here. My Sheena is 8 months old and started laying back on Dec. she was laying nearly every day, large green eggs. She hasn’t laid in about 3 weeks and about two weeks ago started moving a little slow and had nasty poop. I gave her and everyone else Valbazen since I...

Hi all, I have an 18 week old Brahma that has been showing classic signs of Coccidiosis. Everyone else is eating, drinking and acting like normal chickens. I want to give her a direct dose of Corid and continue to include it in the water for the rest of the flock. Have any of you given a direct...

Good morning everyone! This was a surprise chick with my hatchery order that was born on Aug 31. I think it’s a bantam Easter Egger because it’s smaller than the others that came in the group. I told myself it’s probably a cockerel, but now I’m not sure. What do you all think?

Hey all, My Polish laid her first full size egg today and it had blood streaked on it. I’ve not seen this before. I checked her hooha (vent) and there was a little spot that looked to be raw. Is this normal? I’ve attached a photo.

Hello chicken friends, I have a sapphire olive egger that I though had laid her first “fart” egg the end of November. Since then I’ve have an opposie egg with no shell and another that looked like she laid it from the roosting bar. Today I got another regular egg in the nesting box! The fart egg...

Hey all - This is Linda. She is 13 weeks and getting bigger every day. Her comb and wattles are pretty red. Is this normal for a Light Brahma pullet at this age?

I posted a few days ago about my Polish pullet struggling to walk. It’s been two weeks now and she doesn’t seem to be improving, but not getting worse. She is in her own area, gets up to eat and drink, is pooping normal, no diarrhea. She is alert and tries to preen, just can’t seem to get her...

Hey all. My Polish pullet Annabel, last Saturday started having difficulty walking. She was stepping on her own feet and couldn’t walk very far. I thought maybe it was a reaction to the lice infestation I found as a result of her walking like this. I treated her with permethrin and gave her a...

Good morning chicken peeps! I'm hoping you can help me. My 6 month old Polish pullet started walking funny on Sunday and seems to be struggling to walk for any amount of time. Her right foot seems to be curling and she will walk a bit if I nudge her, but then sits back on her hocks and lays...

You all have been great in helping me determine the breed and gender of a few of my posse, so I’m hoping you can help me with these two. I have what I told was an Americana/EE pullet and I believe that is accurate. She is 18 weeks old and in the last two photos. The first photos are of a “bonus”...

Hey everyone- I got this little lady when she was just a few days old. She’s supposed to be a sapphire gem and I’m just not convinced with this Mohawk she has. She’s about 18 weeks old. What do you all think? Is she a sapphire gem a mix or a punk rocker?

Hi all! I’ve been told by a few people that these are both Roos. As they’ve gotten a few weeks older one has a more distinct meaning comb and wattles, while the other doesn’t. Any thoughts? I only have a straight on shot of the one with a large comb, but front and back of the other. thanks for...
