    Gender Reveal?

    Howdy! My husband and I adopted an orphaned baby chick a few weeks ago. She just grew the feathers on her head and no longer looks mangy lol. My guess is she is about 6ish weeks old. I’m in the Florida Keys and if you’re not aware we have a ton of chickens roaming freely 🥰. This little baby...

    Flock Integration - Help!

    Thank you so much! This helps a ton. I realized a bit too late we could have started integrating them at a much younger age. I can see how that would be much more beneficial. I will add extra food and water bowls like you suggested! Thank you thank you thank you thank you!

    Flock Integration - Help!

    Hi all! I have been reading a bunch of the threads on similar topics but nothing seems to truly match what I’m asking. I am trying to integrate flocks. My 4 older girls (3 cinnamon queens and a mix breed Key West chicken) are one year old as of Easter. Originally they were in an arched chain...

    No eggs in 3 months.

    I’m hoping this is an answer to my concern as well. I have 4 hens, 3 are red sexlinks and 1 is a mixed wild child (lol). The reds lay just fine. Karen, the wild child, is much smaller. She is of the random local variety which roams around here in the Florida Keys… she’s a tiny thing 🥹. Anyhow...

    Feather Loss?

    I wondered if it was lice too. I the know pic quality isn’t great and in the pic it sort of looks like that but I didn’t see anything that looked like the photos online and the in person view of the feather follicle quill area doesn’t any anything near the base. But that also doesn’t mean it’s...

    Feather Loss?

    I’m not real sure where to post this as I’m not even sure if I’m being a helicopter mom. A few days ago, I noticed Karen had white spots on her neck. I immediately panicked thinking I was seeing some sort of pest. Upon inspection, what I saw were empty holes (quill? Barb? Feather follicle? Not...

    Broody Hen Newbie!

    As I have mentioned on my past posts, I’m still very new to having a flock. I currently have 4 hens (3 red sexlinks and a wild mix). All 4 lay eggs. The smallest one, Karen (wild mix), lays a small cute little egg lol. Compared to the other 3, she’s miniature… we call the 3 reds Godzilla hens...

    Eyelid bump

    Thank you all so much! This morning when I checked her, the brown crusty looking part was gone and it just looked like a little owie that’s healing… sort of like when we lose a scab too soon I guess? I didn’t think about being pecked by one of her sisters. I’ll keep an eye (hah! Dorky pun) on it...

    Eyelid bump

    I was wondering if it was a scratch. I zoomed in and it looks like a little scab is on there but to be frank… my eyesight isn’t the best up close lol

    Eyelid bump

    Howdy! I am fairly new to raising chickens so please forgive me if this is a normal scenario. Yesterday when I was holding Karen, I noticed a little bump on her eyelid. It is only on this one side. She is behaving as she normally does (feisty and very ‘Karen’ like lol). She also doesn’t seem to...

    Karen’s Conundrum
