    Broken beak help

    Noticed one of our chickens lost the tip of her beak, and the side appears to be splitting. She is about 14 weeks. First time chicken owner. Any tips on how to best help her heal?

    Are these welsummers?

    Yeah, I learned Americanas are a bit of a scam after getting her. I thought I was getting an Ameraucana. Ended up with an "Americana" which is basically an easter egger that some hatchery decided to give a designer name to sell more due to the confusion. Worked on me. When I bought her, I...

    Any chance this barred rock will turn into a hen?

    I have a light feathered, large combed 5 week old chick. Hoping for a pullet, but I can't tell his/her gender for sure. Im not experienced in gendering as this is our first round. S/he is the only barred rock in the flock making it even harder to compare with the others.
