    Chicken sneezing?

    Today I noticed someone in my flock occasionally sneezing. I couldn’t pick out who it was, but checked them all over (I have ten) and they all seemed fine. No runny noses, agitated eyes, etc. What should I do?! I’m a first time chicken owner and one of my biggest fears is that they’ll get sick...

    3 week old Buff Orpington (I know "she" is still young)...cockerel or pullet? Help!

    What was the verdict? I’m curious because I too have a buff Orpington chick that’s supposed to be a pulley, but I’m leaning toward cockerel because of its large comb size. 😂

    Can anyone identify this chick?

    Can anyone identify the breed of this chick? She came in Meyers Fancy Breed Assortment. Grey legs, white adult feathers and appears to have fluffy cheeks. ❤️ Does not have five toes, and no leg feathers.

    Our Dog Killed the Neighbors' Turkey Poult

    It’s not his fault, dogs are still animals and have instincts. Sometimes I have to remind myself not to cast expectations of human behavior onto pets. I can understand why you are horrified ( I would be, too). My pitty mix once ate a nest of baby mice and then vomited them up in the car. 😳...

    Frost White Legbar???

    Hi all! I ordered six chicks from Meyer Hatchery. The chicks were all supposed to be mixed fancy breed. My question is, one of the chicks has a legband that indicates it’s supposed to be a Frost White Legbar, which would be great. However, this chick has white, black and maybe a bit of buff...

    Recommended hatcheries?

    I should have added, the two breeds we hatched are Buff Brahmas and Black Cooper Marans. I live in PA, I think it might get too cold for Silkies here and would also be worried that they are too small to mix with the Brahmas? Thanks for all your replies!

    Recommended hatcheries?

    Our first hatch went ok but we’ve ended up with mostly cockerels. So, I’m planning on ordering some pullets from a hatchery. What would be a good one to order from? Not 100 percent sure which breed we want yet, but a more docile one would be great.

    Black Copper Maran cockerel or pullet 9 weeks?

    Hi all! These chicks are supposedly BCM but could be mixed with another breed. I don’t really mind since I won’t be breeding them. One of their other siblings is definitely a cockerel, but I’m having a hard time telling with these three. They are 9 weeks old. I promise they aren’t as scraggly...

    Help with breed ID?

    Hi all! I’m new to both raising chickens and to the site. We successfully hatched our first batch of chicks about 8 weeks ago. We got the eggs from a hobby chicken farmer. She had several different breeds mixed together. Can anyone help me identify the breed and sex of these two? I’m almost...
