    Hen or roo?

    Looking for thoughts on these babies’ gender. They will be 6 weeks on Wednesday and are from a mixed hatch. I am fairly certain the black barred is from my friend’s barred rock male unsure the hen. The other two are from her friend who said they are all Black Cooper Marans. One has the copper...

    Mystery Crele Roo

    That was what I was thinking. Might have to incubate a few eggs once all my girls start laying and see what cool babies we come up with

    Mystery Crele Roo

    Any idea what the mixes would be or is that a hopeless cause? I am new to chickens and having so much fun watching them develop.

    Mystery Crele Roo

    Was told this roo was a legbar mix pullet when I got “her”. Revealed his gender last week at 23 weeks old. Curious if anyone has insights into what he might be. Not super important. Just super curious! :)

    Interesting Tail Feathers on Chick

    Their feed is a non-GMO grower feed that is 18% protein. I ferment it and add herbs. I’ve started introducing fresh herbs and snacks as well as some leafy green seedlings in pots so they can have the dirt for extra grit. They also get chick grit regularly. They have a dust bath with herbs and I...

    Interesting Tail Feathers on Chick

    I noticed today this chick’s tail feathers are a little thinner (almost look Lacey) than the others. Up close they look kind of ragged. Unsure whether that is a genetic thing or if she/he is being picked on. Anyone have any ideas???? The chicks are 5 weeks old and have a good amount of space...

    I think she is a he!!!

    I have always thought the same when other people post these but now I get it - I couldn’t eat him. He’s soooo sweet and loving or has been. I think it would break my heart even more! I have a plan for him if needed. But I’m telling myself that since he hasn’t been crowing yet maybe he will be a...

    I think she is a he!!!

    I purchased 4 hens from a nearby chicken enthusiast. We believed all four to be pullets. She told me if we were wrong I could always take a roo back to her. The sweetest girl of them all who would let you hold her and was just sooooo loving I named Sweet Girl (was out of original names). This...

    Eye infection / possible respiratory - trying to not panic but also not under react! Help a momma out!

    Should I pick up some oils? I have some veterinary grade on hand and could get some single oils this weekend if that would help her.

    Eye infection / possible respiratory - trying to not panic but also not under react! Help a momma out!

    Ok so tylosin in for her but no one else. Terramycin twice a day. Got it. She keeps worrying me. One minute she’s normal the next she’s laying down barely moving with her eyes shut. Stressful!!! I have fresh basil, mint, oregano, parsley, and lavender in addition to dried if any of those are...

    Eye infection / possible respiratory - trying to not panic but also not under react! Help a momma out!

    New chicken momma here. Purchased 4 birds from same farm in August. One had respiratory issues initially, then cleared up with VetRx. Baby girl’s right eye was shut when I was holding her at the beginning but I thought it was because she felt safe and comfy. About two to three weeks ago...
