    Nanaimo’s story

    So about a week ago I had posted about a mite infestation in my baby barn where my goats and chickens live, other than a pale comb on one of my chickens I had not noticed any issues. Until I caught my flock viciously attacking one of my babies I had hatched out in May. My little silkie...

    11 week old black ameraucana genders

    Any idea on genders of my 2 black ameraucana? They are 11 weeks old. No crowing from either of them yet. Theyre combs are pretty similar I find. Can be pink at times then paler at other times. Chicken number 2 has more of a green sheen to its feathers. Sorry if pics are not good enough, chickens...

    Is there anything I can do for salpingitis?

    One of my chickens (pretty sure it was one of my blue azures) laid a lash egg today. Is there anything I can do for it? All my chickens seem well, no acting out of the ordinary.
