Hello all! I have five 2-month old chicks. I have a pretty good idea of gender for a couple of them, but I need help with the others. Chick 1= Orange chick Chick 2= White body black head chick Chick 3= Swedish flower chick Chick 4: Barred rock

Found these strange droppings near our house. Not an expert on predators or wildlife, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm going to make this story short so we can get to the important stuff. Our rooster has been aggressive and standoffish since he was a chick. He attacks us from behind, and we have kicked him multiple times. A few times we thought we killed him ourselves or severely injured him, but he always...

Nest was just soaked, but the eggs were a little wet of course. The water was warm.

The best I can describe it is that it was neither warm nor cold. They are about aweek along.

My broody hen has been sitting on her eggs for almost a week. She has not left very often to get water or food, so I was very worried about her. We have an old enclosed dog crate where I placed her to hatch out some eggs. I put her food and water in there and it looks like the water spilled all...

Our chickens aren't currently molting. I doubt that squirrels could be eating our eggs, but I will keep an eye out just in case. I have constantly checked for egg-eaters, but I haven't found any signs. Do you think it would be a good idea to put fake eggs in the nesting boxes to encourage them...

Ok, I will see what I can do. Do you think that is the reason why they are not laying? This has been going on for a while, even when we did have more hours of daylight.

What do you recommend?

Hello everyone, I have come here seeking input and advice. I currently have 14 chickens. The first batch of chicks we got was about 3 years ago (5 Plymouth Rock Hens, currently have three). The second batch of chicks we got was roughly 2 years ago (4 Sapphire Gems, currently have 2). The third...

Hey, everybody! The other day I was taking pictures of my rooster to show to a friend, and the lighting was absolutely perfect! Thought that I would share some ☺️

Hey everyone! Recently, my dad found an egg from one of the nesting boxes that had a weird umbilical-like cord attached to the end of it (I'm just going to say umbilical cord because that's the best way to describe it). The point where the umbilical cord thing attached to the egg was very soft...

I usually clean it out every 3-4 days. It is a three-gallon waterer, so I try not to dump it out every 1-2 days and waste the water. Could it be because its so big? Maybe I need to downsize.
