    Dirty chicken butt

    More than poop stuck on her feathers. Looks wet (almost diarrhea looking) dirty. Other than this she is acting totally normal.

    Dirty chicken butt

    What would be the cause of one hen out of 37, to have a dirty butt and not laying anymore? Maybe one a week if that. ( she’s my only cream legbar and my only blue layer which is why I know she’s not laying) She’s had this dirty poopy butt for a few weeks now and she’s the only one.She is eating...

    Black Sexlink pullets?

    Back on November I purchased 15 black sexlink pullets from a hatchery. They are 12 weeks old. I keep hearing that black sexlink cockerels will be barred ( and I did end up with one by mistake, it is barred, you can see him in the background behind the waterer) . Why do so many of these pullets...

    Darn, I thought so. I knew the day I opened the box at the post office. I was just hoping I was wrong. I kept looking at the tail feathers and and comb but was too hopeful.

    Easter Egger? Pullet ?

    Is this an Easter Egger or something else? It’s a “bonus do good” chick that came with my order of layer chicks. They are about 8 weeks old. I haven’t had Easter eggers so I don’t know what males and females look like at 8 weeks old.

    Economical feed for large flock.

    Is there an alternative to bags of chicken feed from the store that’s more economical for a 40+ chicken flock? Right now I’m spending $16 for a 50lb bag of pellets or crumble. Is it cheaper to custom mix things together or something? I will have 15 chicks coming in a few weeks so I know I have...

    Roo or hen?

    Hi everyone. Is this RIR a roo ? It’s supposed to be a pullet but we know unfortunately a roo can get mixed in the bin my mistake. The first two pics are the same bird in question, the third pic is of both RIRs that were bought together, same age.
