    Chicken Anatomy

    Thanks for the pictures. I'm new to owning chickens, and I believe one of my girls has a sour crop, so it is nice to be able to visualize where that is. I was pretty sure I already knew, but nice to double check! Thanks again.

    My chicken died... now what?

    Squatting?

    Thank you for posting this thread! I am new to chickens and I have been wondering what this squatting business is as well. Looks like I know which of my girls are going to be leaving me eggs soon! Thanks again. And happy egg hunting

    Silkie hen or roo?

    Possible Rooster?

    Thank you both so much! Her name is Muffin and I was hoping to keep her because she is kind of attached to me. :) And yes, the barred rock in the second picture is my one confirmed rooster.

    Possible Rooster?

    Hello BYC! I am new here and new to owning chickens. I have 7 chickens in my backyard right now, and I know one of them is a rooster. this is a picture of a possible Ameraucana rooster. I don't want it to be a rooster, but I am afraid the tail feathers may indicate it as such. Can anyone...
