    Growth under cloaca?

    thank you so much that's a lot of help! And unfortunately there's no vets nearby that care for chickens by me :hmm I'd much rather have that. It would make sense that it would be from an infected pecking wound because I unfortunately have a temperamental hen and she's at the bottom of the order...

    Growth under cloaca?

    Hi. I saw this growth and immediately freaked out thinking it was egg bound but now I have my doubts. Does anyone have experience with this? We soaked her and massaged the area. She’s a porcelain d’uccle. And her behavior is pretty normal too. Just slightly tired eyes sometimes. And if it helps...

    DNA Sexing Option

    Hi, I have an almost three month old silkie that I'm looking to have sexed to know for sure what it's gender. I'm prepared to use iQ bird but I'd really prefer not to. Is there an alternative option to get them sexed where I don't have to do it myself? One it would hurt me to see the baby in...

    Eglu Chicken Coops

    How much experience do you have with the (smaller) Eglu coop? How many chickens does it comfortably fit? Yes, I know it's better to build something but 1) I'm in a pinch and 2) I need something that I can disassemble and take wherever I move and that seems like the best option. Thank you so...

    Sexing (maybe) d’uccle?

    Hi here’s my sassy little chick model (feauturing the notoriously difficult to sex silkie in the back). I’m thinking one, he/she is a porcelain d’uccle maybe? Thoughts? And I’m unsure of how to sex these so thoughts are appreciated. She’s about 3-4 weeks old at this point.

    Silkie sexing

    Hi, so I’ve heard that you can’t feather sex certain chicks and stuff but I wasn’t sure about mine. I just bought her yesterday from tractor supply and wanted to know if this meant anything? Is there anything I should be looking for in the next weeks to see what the gender may be? I absolutely...

    Erratic Chickens

    Good afternoon all! So I need advice on how to make my chickens friendly. I did research on breeds and thought that polish birds would be nice and calm but there's always been one that has been erratic. I ended up only being able to keep one polish bird and I adopted two other bantams. One was...

    Black Friday coops

    Good morning! I’m looking to buy just a new coop for my birds. What I have now is adequate but I know I’ll just have to buy something new in the future. I already have a nice run situation. It doesn’t have to be huge. I’d only be keeping 3-5(5 highly unrealistic) bantams. Do you all know of any...
