    Any guesses on what breed/s this guy is?

    I’m stumped on what breeds he could be. He is black, green, rust, red, and has some white feathers. Any thoughts?

    Broken beak, Not sure what to do.

    Hi, this is my boy Dusty. He has somehow broke his beak and part of the top fell off, his beak doesn’t fully close anymore and I’m not sure what I should do for him. It kinda looks to me like it’s starting to peel back. Will this grow back? Here are a few pics.

    Sick hen getting worse.

    Ok, so I checked for mites last night and I couldn’t spot anything. Also she doesn’t have any red spots or any ruffled feathers that look like she is uncomfortable. But I really am completely out of ideas now for her.

    Thanks, are red mites actually red? Because I thought that they were, but then it said that they look like dirt, and dirt isn’t red.

    We aren’t sure exactly when she last laid, because we have multiple girls who lay white eggs and we are just coming off of the cold weather. But I do know at least over 2 weeks ago. She has never had any egg laying problems in the past. She is 2 1/2 years old.

    Her crop has nothing in it because she isn’t barely eating. I will definitely check for mites. Tho I’m not sure what I’m looking for.

    We have a leghorn girl who hasn’t been doing well for about a week now. She is closing her eyes at all times. Her face and comb are very very pale. And she is puffed up. Not eating much, but if she does, she is still pooping normally. She is also light as a feather. I thought that she was egg...

    4wk Old Chicks, Gender?

    In my experience, the friendliest ones are most likely the roos of the bunch. The girls seem to be much more shy, and the boys always seem to be very outgoing. But that’s not always the case.

    Chicks won’t go into the coop at night.

    Thank you for sharing your experience! And to answer your questions, this is my coop setup. It is large enough so that each group can sleep apart. The older girls always sleep on the far left side, and I always put the chicks on the far right side. Once they are in, there doesn’t seem to be any...
