    Help needed with hen walking on hock, foot curled under.

    Hi there! So sorry to hear about your hen :( is it currently freezing where you are? I ask because it might be frost bite, especially if there’s no movement.

    Which is the Olive Egger and which is the Black Ameraucana?

    My vote is the Ameraucana is on the left! That’s based solely on the only difference I can see between the two-the combs. The low profile of the comb on the bird on the left looks like the slow development of a pea comb whereas the one on the right looks slightly more developed and maybe...

    Redinator's First Hatch-Along w Bonus Broody: And Everything Thereafter

    oh my goodness, the instant hush that fell over them when you put the heater back into the brooder. SWOON! I've been trying my hardest to hold off on hatching until I get more eggs, so I'm living vicariously through you

    Love the paneling! Lots of shops around me dump their pallets so this has definitely got my brain going

    Whatcha Making for Supper?

    I had bunch of random bags of grains in impractical amounts so I made a clean-out-the-fridge and clean-out-the-pantry vegetable and grain soup ◡̈

    How much do you cry?

    That seems pretty high to me—which I'm grateful for! Though anti-depressants have helped flatted those moments of heightened emotion for me too—which I'm grateful for as well ◡̈

    Hollow comb? Or normal? Wyandotte.

    Ahhh I'm just re-reading your post and realize you're looking for clarification if she has the right comb for her breed. In that case, I'll let someone with more expertise chime in!

    Hollow comb? Or normal? Wyandotte.

    She's a cutie! It looks like she may have a strawberry comb, but I'm not an expert. Do you know what breed she is?

    2026 Chick Thread!

    A bit from all over! I have a few from Alchemist Farms, and I have some eggs coming from Windy Whiskers, Simply Feathered Acres and Rice & Shine Farms. I haven’t found anyone near me in the Hudson valley though, so I’m preparing for low hatch rates :/

    2026 Chick Thread!

    I got mine from Alchemist Farms! Along with 10 other chicks (she included four extra). All the others are very healthy and I def recommend her as a source. She’s bred her Barnies to be a bit smaller than the standard, which made me wonder if maybe that affected health? Otherwise I do recommend them!

    2026 Chick Thread!

    I was just about to ask where you got your barnevelders from because I als ordered barnevelders last year and both died from what I can only describe as failure to thrive :/ it made me wonder if the breed was more susceptible to health issues

    Hobby hatching addicts-- where do all of your chicks go?

    I’ll sell unsexed chicks which helps me narrow down large hatches, and I’ve started processing my own cockerels! Like a few others said, people in my local area facebook groups have a hard time giving away their roosters. I’ll raise them until they get to a good harvest size or they start...
