I just got this girl, she’s a little smaller than my other full grown hens and doesn’t seem to have a fully grown comb either. What breed do you think she is?

Hi! I have 8 hens. A few weeks ago 1 of my chickens went broody then another 2 and finally a 4th one a week or so later. I put them in a separate area for 3 days to have them stop the broodiness and it worked. (I’ve had to do this before in the past) But during the weeks of them being broody...

Hi, I need help! I have two 1 year old hens that seem off. **UPDATE: No sneezing but still has a deep bawk sound** One is sneezing a little with a croupy/deeper squawks, not all the time, but enough for me to notice it’s happening. Not eating as much today but still a healthy plump girl. No...

Hello! My friend has 8 chickens and 5 of them have red, bare backsides and bottoms. Could this be from bullying? And is there a way to treat it or prevent it from continuing? A couple have regrown feathers and some others are trying too but some are still very red and featherless. Photos posted...

Hello! I am helping a friend figure out what breeds these 2 chickens are. The first chicken in the photos looks to maybe be a brown leghorn?? She didn’t buy one though. The gray chicken, no idea. Here is a list of chick breeds she bought - moss eggers, olive eggers, & prairie bluebells. Thanks!! 🙃

Hello! I need a mystery solved for one of my girls. So over the winter she took a break from laying and then around late Feb she started laying again only to stop a couple weeks later then she laid again 2 times earlier this month and now she has stopped AGAIN. My chickens free range many hours...

I have 3 crested cream legbars, they’re 5-6 weeks old, but one doesn’t have the crest growing, could she be a different breed? This is my first time raising this breed from chicks, and they’re so pretty! 😁

These 2 are looking kind of roo-ish. The polish looks to have some waddles coming down, and a little red/pink by the comb. The same with the crested cream legbar, but some red/pink by the comb and where the waddles are coming in. They’re both around 5-6 weeks old. I was hoping they’d be girls...

Hello! I’m adding an adult rooster (he’s from a good friend) to my flock, he’s a barred rock and same age as my girls - 1 year old. My question is do I integrate him the same as I would new girls (over a 3-4 weeks) or can I just set him in the coop with them? I do have a big dog kennel I use for...

I acquired this pretty girl a few months ago and I completely forgot what breed she is. She just started laying white eggs. & Funny story.. she accidentally found her way into the house when I first got her. 😂😂

Hello! My Dominique chicken (6-7 months old) has a pale comb, she’s moving a little slower than usual lately too. Eating & drinking still, don’t think she’s laying anymore, had some poop stuck to the feathers on her butt today. I’ve added Nutridrench to the water just in case she needs extra...

Hi! My chickens all like to use the same ONE nesting box. We have 5 boxes total and I am trying to figure out how to get the chickens to use the other ones that way they’re not stepping on each other or bickering over the ONE favorite. I have golf balls in a few of the other nesting boxes, but...

Did my splash copper maran lay this? Or could it be my Dominique? The other chickens I have don’t lay brown eggs. Myp starlight green eggers lay green eggs. Or could it be that my splash is not a copper marans after all. 😂 Uploaded photos of the egg (blurry, sorry) and of the splash chickens...

Random, bizarre question! A couple of my chickens just started laying today, but they laid in the chicken run. I got 3 golf balls from a friend to put into the nesting boxes to help the chickens lay there instead, but 2 of the golf balls are neon yellow. Does the yellow color matter to the...

Hen or roo? Totally thought this was my hen out of 4 straight runs.. but now the saddle feathers area is looking more bustled with narrow feathers coming in. No color leaking though. Black/dark grey americauna - probably a mix. Around 16 weeks old. Hasn’t crowed yet though. Please help!

Hi! My friend needs help so I’m posting for her. She bought these 9-10 week old chickens - they’re supposed to be female olive eggers. Can you help us determine if that’s correct or if they’re a different breed or gender? I am thinking the white one is a Roo because of the comb being bigger & so...

Stumped on one of my 9 week olds. It is supposed to be a black Ameraucana but could also be a barnyard mix or EE. What do you think? But my main issue is I can’t figure out whether it’s a hen or roo. I feel like it could go either way. Please help me out. 😂

Hello, I just checked on my young flock and I found my 6-7 week old Dominique chicken with a drooping neck, feathers fluffed out, lethargic, green & white poop. She just went again and it was liquidy. The heat index in Georgia where I live is extremely hot, but all the other chickens are fine...

Hello! I have 7-8 week old chicks and I am wondering if it’s possible to add 2 egg laying hens to the flock. If so, what’s best way to do that? I just really want to start getting some eggs. ☺️
