    Swollen / Puffy Eye

    I have a two year old hen and noticed today her eye is swollen/puffy. I’m not sure if it’s an injury or allergies? Nothing has changed in her coop/run the last few weeks and she seems to be acting normal. I’m not sure if or how to treat her.

    Silkie Mix pullet or roo

    Hello everyone, we had a surprise batch of eggs a broody hen hid from us. Only one hatched and it’s about 14 weeks old now. We have a debate going on within the family on its gender and we’re hoping to get some additional opinions. Thanks for your help!!!

    Hello from a newbie

    Sofia has not laid any eggs yet. I'm not sure how old she is or if I should be worried that she hasn't laid any eggs. I was giving her layers feed but then when all the chicks moved into the coop together about 2 weeks ago I was told to only put the starter crumbles as feed for all until the...

    Hello from a newbie

    They were straight run and I'm pretty sure I have at least one cockerel. I'm still trying to determine their sexes and just posted pictures of them under "What Breed Or Gender is This?"
