    Most "pet like" breed that is sexlink?

    I have a golden sexlink and she is amazing. She follows me around everywhere and will jump on my back when I lean down. We even have conversations with each other (mostly me saying random things and her squacking back). We did raise her with a lot of handling so I think that accounted for some...

    Ocular Mareks?

    Eye in question. It has a slight deformation on the bottom. Other eye Sorry for the bad photo quality. She was so squirmy when we were taking the photos and kept trying to peck the camera 😂

    Ocular Mareks?

    You can see the difference in the shape and size of the two pupils here (the hen in question is the naked neck)

    Ocular Mareks?

    Today when I went to check up on my 3 month old chicks, I noticed that one of them had a very strangely shaped pupil in her right eye. My first thought was ocular mareks. She hasn’t exhibited any other symptoms and is super lively. Is there any chance this could be another disease or mutation...

    Oldest Hen Age and Breed

    My oldest was 11 and she was a barred rock. She was from our first batch of chicks and was the head of the flock her entire life. Her name was Molly and I honestly believe that she could have been fine for many more years, as she still had so much energy, but there was a disease running through...

    Girl or boy?

    Phew!! The scuffles between the naked neck and Wyandotte were scaring me cause I heard rooster chicks can do that. Thanks for reassuring me :thumbsup

    Girl or boy?

    We have 3 chicks around 6-7 weeks old. I’m wondering if you guys think any of them are Cockrels or if they’re all pullets. Thanks for your input!! 1: Naked neck. I think she’s a pullet but she has slight little red waddles. She is also super spunky and fights with the Wyandotte a lot. 2...

    Chicken Garden

    That’s a good question 😂 Maybe it’s because they’re just so stinking cute! It’s so hard to stay mad at them as they look up at you with their beady eyes and that little head tilt!

    Chicken Garden

    When I created my chicken garden I let them in after 2-3 months. That being said, they did prove troublesome and find their way to jump the chicken wire at times to eat the plants 😂

    Sick Chickies

    Welcome to byc! And congrats on your new chicks! It’s a rollercoaster keeping chickens and super exciting. Chicks can be really susceptible to respiratory issues. You did the right thing in giving them Tiagard. My guess is the combination of being cold and smoke that got to them. Are they still...
