    Odd sebright coloring

    I purchased golden sebright hatching eggs. All of my sebrights have always have obvious lacing. These hatched out and don’t. Also 2 hatched out mottled. I contacted the breeder and she said it’s normal for hers to have a few mottled hatch out in her line. My question is then do you think maybe...

    Supposed to be marans but lay green eggs?

    So I originally purchased what were supposed to be BCM from TSC. They feathered out differently so assumed they were cuckoo marans. Well now they’ve started laying and it’s green eggs. So what the heck are they? They have clean white legs.

    Tractor supply incorrect breed

    They have clean legs and they are white. The pullets are darker than the roos. Guess I’ll find out when they start laying.

    Tractor supply incorrect breed

    I went to tractor supply and picked up what I thought were black copper marans but obviously they are not. Do you think they are cuckoo marans? I also got some bonus bantam chicks they offered me and I have no idea what they are. I was hoping the gold one was a sebright since I already have some...

    Baby chick umbilical area

    Sadly no. I added vitamins to water but it trouble even drinking. It went downhill and died later that evening. It got perky a couple of times but mostly was very lethargic.

    Baby chick umbilical area

    I found this chick this morning cold located near broody mom. It was halfway hatched but the membrane was dried and trapped around upper half of the chick. It was clear it had been like this awhile as it’s lower half was fluffed out. I took it inside and assisted it by removing the remaining...

    I’m thinking a roo but what’s your opinion?

    I’ve pretty much figured out everyone so far but this one I’m kinda iffy about. They are mixed breed and initially I thought it was a hen but now based on tail feathers I’m thing roo. Also really red in the face compared to the others of the same age. They are 3 months old now.

    Graphic photo who’s the predator?

    Argh I’ll add wire behind the door as added measure too. Possums are so darn cute 👀 don’t judge me lol. I have a had a bag of trash that was left on the porch now that I think of it that was gone through a bit. Not strewn everywhere but still a small hole in it. Any good deterrents you could...

    Graphic photo who’s the predator?

    Asked one of my neighbors and they said a nest of eggs was cleaned out without a trace a few months ago but that was the only thing they’ve had happen. I live in Georgia near South Carolina and I’ve gotta be honest I’ve never heard of us having weasels, martens, or anything like that. I’d love...

    Graphic photo who’s the predator?

    I have a cat and my neighbor has a barn cat but both are super friendly with the chickens. They been good at catching moles and mice in the area. I know it wasn’t them.

    Graphic photo who’s the predator?

    I’m curious if anyone knew what did this? I want to try to defend against the right predator. It’s odd because no one in our area has ever had a problem. Everyone has their chickens and guineas free range and most of my neighbors don’t have a closed coop. We didn’t bother with a coop we can...

    Watery stool with blood and weight loss

    So I’m thinking parasites here. I noticed my silkie was off yesterday when my silkie roo did his business with her and she was in her side doing the death roll. I though he might have snapped her neck but I saw she was breathing but couldn’t get up. I picked her up and she is skin and bones. I...

    What egg belongs to whom?

    Mystery solved. Small white eggs belong to my polkie. Caught her in the act. My silkie laid her first egg today. A beautiful little pink egg. The larger oblong white egg belongs to my appenzeller

    What egg belongs to whom?

    The only other visitors from my neighbors are their roosters coming to check out the ladies. I’ll try the ceramic eggs. I’ve tried creating different kind of nesting boxes but none have sparked interest. Perhaps I’ll have to try a dirt and leaves one with stick curtains 😂 because I dread missing...

    What egg belongs to whom?

    Ok guys my chickens are free range. They have nesting boxes available but have chosen not to use them and have just come into laying age. I have a mixed flock so I’m not sure what egg belongs to who. The brown egg I’m almost certain belongs to my neighbors Isa Brown as she spends all her time...
