    Brahmas?

    ****. Thanks for the help. The others looks identical to the ones in the pics, so I'll assume they're boys as well. They were on the verge of dying when we got them so I'll just be happy with the fact we gave them a chance and find them new homes in the new year. I appreciate the help.

    Brahmas?

    We've got 2 of the dark ones and 3 of the light ones. I'm really hoping that they're not boys as I wouldn't be allowed to keep them.

    Brahmas?

    Hi All, Ive rescued some baby chickens, not sure how old they are but my guess is about 3-4 weeks old. I need some help identifying what breed they are and any tips on how to determine their gender. The lighter ones are losing their feathers due to terrible living conditions before we got them...

    My chicken is pecking me!

    I'm dealing with a very pecky ISA brown at the moment. She's the leader of the pack and has become very pecky with me. Any additional tips would help a lot!

    Egg bound chicken ate her eggs

    I'm not entirely sure how old she is, my understanding when I bought her a month ago from a backyard chicken owner that she had only been laying a few months. She is getting a mix of layer pellets, and a mixed feed (seeds, lucern, corn, grains, etc), table scraps and has plenty of grass and...

    Egg bound chicken ate her eggs

    Wow, that's really depressing that I've gotten the wrong breed. But, thank you for your advice I will definitely take it all on board and start investigating other breeds and eventually add to the flock with some better chooks. I will not let the ISAs suffer, when it's obvious that they are at...

    Egg bound chicken ate her eggs

    Thank you, your post helped relieve some worrying. While putting them back in their shed tonight I noticed Sunny was reluctant to eat so I made up some food for her and sat with her while she ate a little bit with a lot of encouragement. She suddenly popped out an egg, she turned around and...

    Egg bound chicken ate her eggs

    One of the ISA brown chickens we have was very unwell (lethargic, down facing tail and having clear contractions), and after realising she was egg bound we gave her a long warm bath, dried her and kept her in the house over night. This morning when we went to check on her there was 2 eggs...

    Underweight chook?

    Thank you, I will definitely take all your advice. Just a quick question in relation to this chook. I'll try and attach a photo. She has white powdery stuff behind her ears. The 2 other chooks don't have this. Is this normal?

    Underweight chook?

    Hello! Newbie and worried mother hen here. I've recently purchased 3 ISA chooks. They have been just wonderful, the previous owner said they hadn't been laying very long and they weren't getting many eggs, usually 1 a day. Since having them we have been getting 3 eggs a day from the start. The...
