I have an 18 week old lavender Orpington that seems to have a beak issue. I noticed it this morning not sure if it’s anything I should treat or worry about... not sure if one of my older girls got her yesterday before they went up last night? I have two flocks of hens who have separate coops and...

Our sweet babies before they were killed by a feral cat someone had neutered and dropped off at the farm.

Thank you! Got the vetericyn gel and she’s much better!

hello! This is the first chicken issue I’ve had... I have no clue what to do or if I even should do anything yet. I have a 12 week old EE, Courtney. . This morning when I went out to check all the little girls I noticed Courtney had one eye closed. I inspected it and she will open the eye but...

Y’all have made me the happiest chicken mama! The reason I thought she was a cockerel is her feet are bigger than my lavender Orpingtons (I couldn’t remember my buffs at this age) and she started to get a comb before all the others and it’s That’s what got my wheels turning... She seems to be a...

Honestly I’m not sure feet wise but my 6 girls are in a coop and the roosting area is at least 3 times as big as their coop. I won’t be able to measure it u til it’s complete and delivered.

They are living in my garage in a brooder box.

I wasn’t sure where to post this question and couldn’t find where is has been asked before. I have 6 chicks who are 6 weeks old and 6 hens who will be a year old in September. I will be introducing the chicks into the flock after my new coop is built. My new coop will probably be able to hold...

Oh no. I’m not considering her even being outside like that until at least 2 years. We have an electric fence company coming out today.

hi y’all! We recently purchased a 15 week old Great Pyrenees who was brought up with chickens since the day she was born. I have a free range flock, 40 acres, ponds, cows, bees, barbed wire fencing... I know I can’t allow her until she is fully trained and old enough to protect them and trust...

Looks like a hen to me!
