    Possible sour crop?

    5 month old barred rock hen with possible sour crop? I found her dust bathing and noticed her eyes looked a little -off- just different...then noticed she is doing a motion like she is gasping for air but she is still vocal and moving around. Her crop seems lumpy and not globular like it usually...

    Tomato, veg, herb fertilizer

    Chickens have been getting into the garden that I just fertilized. 😩😩 I’m sure they’ve been digging up the ground and they literally ate all the leaves off of my peppers. I’ve posted the ingredients and brand. Chickens are acting fine but I know they are very stoic creatures. I also read that...

    Tiny egg

    I have 2 barred rock, a Rhode Island Red, who have been laying for about 1 week now and a SLW that I don’t think has started laying yet. Who laid this tiny adorable speckled egg?? I came outside to check on Iris who was sitting in the nesting box for an hour or so and I come out to see 3 of them...

    Post Your First Egg Pics-Part 2

    These are the other eggs that have been laid...5/8 of them are cracked (1 not pictured because I ate it). They scratch out all the bedding in the nesting boxes and lay on the plywood but the crack looks like it’s from them pecking it? They also lay in this particularly heavily branched area...

    Chickens and dust baths

    Made a little dust bath area for my chickens from old blocks that we had as a planter and added some DE....maybe they think it’s a bbq pit? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ They haven’t touched it yet but I have high hopes. They got me working out here when its 100 degrees out 😰

    Chicken Breed Focus - Blue Andalusian

    I believe I got a blue Andalusian by mistake, asked for a Wyandotte but got this one instead S/he’s an absolute nut, his/her name is Dove. Loves you one second and flees from you the next. Not as docile as my other hens were and kinda worried now that I’m reading about them not being great in...

    First Egg!!

    Our first egg was laid this morning by my girl, Iris. Happy day!! She laid it perfectly in a big ol’ pile of poop. 🤔 Is this a Normal thing to do when they’re new to laying? Since I built my coop (and am new to chickens) I get worried that what I have isn’t adequate. There are 3 Nesting boxes...

    Andalusian?

    Hi there! Posting again about my gray chick. S/he looks similar to an Andalusian, gray and started off pretty slender but double the size of my silkie. Now 7 weeks old, gray legs, pink comb and has these little feathers that stick out of his/her tail which is making me think she might be a...

    Blue laced red Wyandotte?

    Help! I bought a blue laced red Wyandotte chick (or so I thought) from a feed store and looking back, I probably should have looked up what the chicks themselves look like because I’m not sure I have a chicken on my hands at all. 😳😳😳 She’s double the size of my silkie who I got 3 days before...
