    Pale combs with black spots and runny poop

    One of my Hens had black spots on her comb a week ago, then I noticed a couple others. Thought it was just from pecking. Now three of them have pale tips of their combs. Noticed some runny poop out of one of them this morning. All eating, drinking, and still laying, running around like normal...

    Black Spot on Comb

    I have the same issue here! No rooster, and this morning one of the girls had blood on her comb.

    Chicken attacked - not putting weight on leg

    Our littlest chicken was attacked by our biggest chicken. I was there but didn't see it, she immediately couldn't put weight on one leg. I have her inside and resting, doesn't seem to hurt her when I touch. No blood, no visible injury. Anything in particular I should do?! She is resting...

    Are Golden Comets normally a friendly breed?

    We have 3 golden comets, 2 brown Longhorns, and an Easter egger. The goldens are way friendlier than the others. Two of the three girls will hop up on me when I am in the run and they all eat out of my hand. At 17 weeks, just yesterday, we got our first egg from one of the comets! She was so...

    Easter Egger Sex? 7 weeks old

    Kevin looks just like my Pecky Becky! We worried she was a roo because she got so big much quicker than the rest. She is 10 weeks now and not showing many roo traits, so hopefully just a pretty egg layer!

    Tiny Chicken, any thoughts?

    No pecking, eats non-stop, and drinks normally. She used to sleep huddled up with all the other girls then she started roosting at night, none of the others do. Tonight she was sleeping under the ramp they use to climb out of their coop. Maybe she is just different 🤷‍♀️

    Tiny Chicken, any thoughts?

    We have 6 chicks, 10 weeks old. This one is and has always been much smaller than the others. She has always done her own thing, doesn't play around with the others and makes a funny squawky noise. Her butt doesn't have any feathers and skin is a little red but poop seems normal. I was worried...

    Help with gender and breed, please!!

    Hi! New chick mom here. We picked up 6 newly hatched chicks from our local hardware store 5 weeks ago. Supposed to be 3 goldens and 3 brown leg horns. Now that they have grown a bit, one of the leg horns is looking different from the other two. This bird is more grey in color, no comb so far...
