    Dry skin and missing feathers

    Has this gotten any better? I have a few around the same age with the exact same looking thing going on. They eat are growing fine running around. Were inside with clean bedding when it started. Had never been outside. Mine have been like this a few weeks now and all I keep seeing online is...

    I think it might be a cross Ameraucauna/Wyandotte. My Ameraucanas were not this dark when they were babies.

    Got my first egg today!

    Yeah its so cool! I held the egg to my ear and could hear it cheeping inside. You can feel them moving too. Just have to be super careful and try not to rotate. From what I read you can hurt them. I picked it straight up and put it straight back down the way it was. I was worried about any...

    Got my first egg today!

    No they are all laying in a nest they made in their bedding. I cant get them to use the nest boxes. They make their own little nest and all of my hens that are laying are using the same nest. Im so excited to know that at least one is likely going to hatch in the next day or so. Its the...

    Ok so egg #1 stopped developing at least a week ago so I tossed it very sadly. BUT egg #2 is cheeping inside the shell! Any time now! 3 and 4 i swear I saw moving today so I think it will have at least one buddy. If not I work from home so it'll be in a tote next to me all day long. I'll be...

    Candled and there is growth! I ended up with 4 eggs to try. The first 2 are definitely growing and the 3rd and 4th look veiny but its hard to tell. For sure though the first 2 are growing!

    I've been reading all over and most say as long as the rooster has been in with them the first egg shouldn't be any different than any other as long as its size is normal. I was shocked to not see a fairy egg first. This is a good sized egg.

    I have been looking every day for a good month now. Wouldn't ya know my son was the one to find the first one LOL nevertheless I think I may try to incubate it. Would be super cool if the first one also hatched 😆

    Last August I picked up 6 chicks from Tractor Supply. 3 blue wyandottes and 3 Amerucaunas. Today, we finally discovered an egg! I'm pretty sure its fertilized since my roo has been going to town for a few weeks now. Pics of the daddy and his lovely ladies 😍🥰

    Can a dog and chickens safely coexist in a small backyard?

    I have 3 dogs, 2 of them id comfortably leave outside with my chickens. The other one is high strung and though I dont think he'd attack them, he definitely likes to chase and pounce. I watch them closely when I let them free range. They only get to when I'm up there with them to avoid...
