    Breathing disturbances in 3 young hens.

    They’re housed at my mother’s so I don’t have video/audio, but here is the small coop and the 3 birds. No swelling or discharge that I’ve noticed. We kept our other chickens in this same coop while we were building the larger and had no problems. These 3 all came from the same farm. I wonder if...

    Breathing disturbances in 3 young hens.

    These chickens have never been medicated. They seem to eat pretty well, however. I have a larger coop of 9 that have no symptoms. These 3 have never joined the larger flock as they were younger. Also, I got them from a farm as month old pullets. I separated them to make sure they weren’t...

    Breathing disturbances in 3 young hens.

    I’ve got an isolated small coop of 3 chickens that are “honking” and sound like they’re breathing through a snorkel. What should I do?

    What breed are these 2week chicks?

    My mom picked up these little fluff-butts about a week ago, and she thought she was getting Golden Comets (obviously they were mislabeled at TSC). I’m leaning towards Cinnamon Queens because I have a couple but these chicks have fluffier cheeks/lighter coloring than mine did. We also aren’t sure...

    Cockerel lowest in pecking order?

    An update on my little cockerel— after 24 hours, all is well and they are back to fraternizing just like they used to! It must have been a short-lived gang initiation or something 🤣! But seriously, his little comb was still small and pale the last time the pullet was with him. I think she was...

    Cockerel lowest in pecking order?

    Yes, this is a temporary “half-way house” 🤣 while the larger coop is being built.

    Cockerel lowest in pecking order?

    I just reintroduced my young cockerel to his old pullet playmates since he’s feathered out enough to join them. However, I noticed one of the pullets seems to bully him. If he walks by, she will chase, peck, and try to pull feathers! Will this pass? The other pullets don’t bother him. They’ve...

    New but eager to learn!

    I have a variety as I’m obsessed with all the color variations! So far, I have: 1 Barred Rock 6 Cinnamon Queens 1 Golden Comet 2 Easter Eggers 1 Rhode Island Red They all seem to be pullets with the exception of one of my EE’s that is starting to suddenly develop a comb (pink)! Time will tell...

    Ameraucana or Easter Egger?

    Similar situation with mine that is about 2 weeks! They had her(?) in a bin with RIR and ISA-Browns—neither of which looked similar! Glad to see she isn’t alone!

    Early guesses for EE “pullets”

    What is it they say about male pea combs? “Three rows and that bird will crow!” I agree with the above— black is a roo and the red seems like a pullet. ☺️

    Help! Not sure of breed or sex!

    Thank you! I was shocked by the comb change today. Then I noticed the color. I have 4other pullets that are 6 weeks and show nothing even close. I also did the “upside-down” test, and he absolutely wanted back up! Thanks for shedding light!
