    Silkie help!

    This little one is the meanest chicken I have, naturally of course. I’ve been calling it Tim, saying “he,” but honestly I have no idea if I’m right. 6 months old. Can anybody tell if this is a Tim or Timantha?

    Hen abandoned eggs on day 20

    It’s actually more comforting to know that I probably didn’t kill them by removing the dead one. Thanks!

    Hen abandoned eggs on day 20

    Okay! Just to verify because I’m nervous, I didn’t intend to get involved haha, which would this be? Infertile?

    Hen abandoned eggs on day 20

    Yes, but I don’t exactly know what I’m looking for. There was only one that didn’t look almost exactly like this.

    Hen abandoned eggs on day 20

    My hen was on day 20 of sitting on 10 eggs. I was smelled something awful, like death awful. I got her up and lo and behold there was a crushed egg with an almost fully developed baby under her. I had to remove that, naturally. Unfortunately, I think she thought that baby was okay because...

    Typical poop post, *blood* maybe?

    I promise I’ve looked at all the guides, online comparisons, and I STILL can’t tell if this is bloody poop from cocci or something else. Confirming that this is blood before starting treatment? I was hesitant at first because it seems like it’s chunks of something instead of blood, but this...

    Breed help!

    They’re just about 16 weeks, so no laying yet. I thought it was possible some sort of egger, since I have two definite EEs with puffy cheeks that came from another unlabeled bin. I just thought it particular that they’d happen to be the exact same color and not be a specific breed. They were...

    Breed help!

    I’ve watched these orange/gray babies for months, hoping one day I’ll be able to easily identify them. This has not been the case. They came from Rural King, so Hoovers Hatchery, in an unlabeled bin. They were small and brown when babies. Both are the same color, with one being maybe a tad...

    EE with copper on wings?

    I just came across a comment that said Easter Eggers with copper on their wings are cockerel specific. I’ve been watching this white one, thinking it’s a little man for a while, but I haven’t been too sure because I am not sure of the breed 100% because I have another definite EE because of...

    Please help identify what is in my roosters beak!

    Thanks for all the help, everyone! My husband and I talked it over and decided that culling was in the best interest of my current flock, especially since I have 13 I’ve raised inside due to go out in a few weeks. This is my first cull, but I knew going into chicken owning sometimes it’s...

    Please help identify what is in my roosters beak!

    Coryza is pretty fast to show symptoms, but MG can take weeks unfortunately.

    Please help identify what is in my roosters beak!

    The first few days they were in the same run as my main flock, but in a separate coop/small run inside. Then they moved into their own run beside this flock. They’ve never shared housing or food or water. I am a bit worried about whatever droppings would have been left in the main run. It’s been...

    Please help identify what is in my roosters beak!

    Reading up more on it, it seems a lot of people choose to cull for canker. Even treatment can be a temporary fix if it works?

    Please help identify what is in my roosters beak!

    I am very worried of that being the case because he presented with respiratory issues two weeks before any of the yellow showed up in his mouth. I’m relatively new at chicken-ing and am wholly not ready to have to cull him and the hen he has been with, but with 7 adults and 13 babies that’ll go...
