Today I went out to collect eggs from my coop and I found this thing on the inside. I have 3 pullets that are supposed to start laying eggs any week now. ( They are 21 weeks old). Is it a fart/fairy egg without a shell? Should I be concerned? It is squishy and once popped and a white like...
I had a few bbs Ameraucanas hatched 4 weeks ago. I need to sell the roosters and create some more space so I need to know if they are male or female.
Chick 1 I think is a male, since its comb is pink. It feathered fast.
Chick 2 I think is a male. It was very slow to feather just like chick...
I am giving my Delaware chicken to a farm in a little bit. They already have about 20 chickens. I need some tips on her to introduce her into the flock in a couple hours. The chickens at the farm are all different breeds and are kept in a tractor coop and will sometimes free range. Any ideas...
My Delaware chicken that is a little over a year old somehow hurt her right middle toe. I went out to collect eggs and saw that there was a little pool of blood on the pine shavings. I noticed that she was limping and standing on one foot. I will wash of her leg and determine the situation. I...

My sapphire gem has not been laying for the past 5 days. She usually lays 5-6 eggs a week. 2 weeks ago she was acting lethargic and didn’t want to eat or move. I watched her and suddenly he pooped out a egg white substance and the other chickens immediately started to eat it. A few hours later...

Wondering what I should be doing to prepare for the winter in Minnesota. I think I am going to get 2 water heaters and 2 wall heaters for when it gets really cold. Any thing else??? Should I be worrying about a possible fire, they look pretty safe?
I am adding a new chicken to my flock and want to get breed for the pecking order. I don't want the chicken to be at the bottom of the pecking order. What breed would be the best?
I am wondering if my 7-8 week old lavender orpington is a boy or girl. I am thinking it is a girl, because of how calm it is. This is a very tricky one!
These 5 chicks are around 2 weeks old. I am wondering what gender they are. I think that the brown leghorn is a boy, do you?
Lavender Orpington:
Partridge Cochin:
Buff Brahma:
Brown Leghorn:
And White Plymouth Rock:
Wondering what age i should feed my chickens adult layer feed? I have heard around 16 - 18 weeks. Is this true? I do want to feed it to them early since I have heard that they could have kidney issues.
I have heard that Brown leghorns can be sorta a Auto-sex breeds. With the males being lighter and the girls being darker. Here is the link: Brown Leghorn Chick Sexing. The website says it works. I have a newly hatched Brown Leghorn Chick. What Gender is it? I think it is a Female do you?
Wondering if at 1 week old you can use chick's tail feathers to sex them. Will this be accurate? Could I feather sex (wings)? The breeds are White Plymouth Rock, Brown Leghorn, Buff Brahma, Lavender Orpington, and a Partridge Cochin. Thanks for the help in advance.
