    3 month Brahma cross male or female?

    Hi everyone. Any thoughts on whether this lovely chicken (Brahma/Isabelle cuckoo Orpington cross) is male or female? I was told hen but feel like it’s developing waterfall feathers by the tail🤷‍♀️

    31 days and an egg is peeping!

    Day 33 and it hatched!😂👍🏻💗💫🤷‍♀️ An experienced chicken breeder told me today it’s definitely possible if it was on the edge of the nest and took a week to reach temperature. Crazy!

    31 days and an egg is peeping!

    It’s very much alive (I felt it moving and heard it cheeping!) and it’s definitely one of mine (because I wrote on them) but maybe it’s possible that it was on the edge and didn’t get warmed until a week after we placed them there🤷‍♀️

    Injured Orpington rooster

    Awesome, thank you🙏🏻 I really don’t want to lose him. I called our local vet but they don’t do chickens. One of their staff members is experienced though and walked me through a leg exam. I have no idea what I’m doing but she didn’t think it was broken, thankfully. I am a little worried it could...

    Injured Orpington rooster

    Hi everyone, my two Orpington roosters suddenly started to fight last week. When I got home after work there were feathers everywhere and they were still going at it! I separated them and my favourite- the lemon cuckoo just stood in the field not moving. The blue seemed fine other than minor...

    An adventure into chickens😊

    Hi everyone, I am a new chicken owner (last year) on our little hobby farm in BC. I fell in love with lavender orpingtons and ended up coming home with a mix of orps (they were sold out of lavender orps🙄) - 6, day old chicks. All turned out to be roosters, except 1 BCM hen😂 4 roos successfully...
