I literally just wanna show off my eggs to whoever gives a damn, and thats mostly not my friends and family haha they're kinda over it. When I started my journey I got Azure blue layers and PBR from Freys. Then chicken math happened and I now have some barnyard mixes, silkies and royal palm...

Got this little cutie today, I've never picked up a blue egg of this size and I only have two Azure blue layers, with winter settling in I'm not always getting everyone's rent daily so I'm not sure if this is Junes and Leias OR Junes and one of my silkies? (Big blue is DEF Junes, she's always...

June at 6 months has been a pretty hefty layer since she started popping these lovely blue eggs out in August. There's been a couple of double yolks, which is always an interesting sight. Two of my Royal Palm turkeys have started laying this week, these are about the size of the other pullets...

Someone thought it would be funny to put a rooster in a guys truck as a joke. Not knowing where to bring him, the prank victim brought him to me and said if I didnt take him he'd just let him loose on the side of the road. I do not want another rooster, I don't want the 10 I already have. So now...

Hi new duck momma here, I have 9 6 week old ducklings, some are Pekings, some are Indian Runners, most are crosses I believe. It's been an absolute joy!! These two have a wing each that seemed "heavy" about a week ago. It's gotten much better, but I'm concerned that my chicken egg (long story)...

Hi this is 12 week old Bertha, or was, now I'm not so sure. I feel like her comb and wattles have really deepened in color lately, especially compared to the Azure Blue pullet beside her in the first pic!! I think this is a cuckoo Malines but would really like confirmation if possible. Thanks...

Bertha broke her beak today! In a matter of a few hours she went from being totally ok to this. There was nothing hanging off in order to do a repair. The blood is extremely fresh, almost as if it happened just before I walked in the door. I currently have her isolated in a dog crate in the...

These guys are 11 weeks old and a barnyard mix (I have no clue what the rose comb fellas are) just want to confirm they're cockerels before making any final decisions about who stays and who goes. Of my suspected 10-12 boys only one is crowing, so I'm going purely on visual and behavior at this...

These two ladies :fl are 10 weeks old. They came from a mixed flock that included Black Copper Marans, Crested Cream Legbars, Malines, NN turkens, Delawares, Silverud Blue Isbars, Golden Laced Wyandotte (from what I can recall..) My mixed dozen of hatching eggs had some pure breeds and some...

Hi!! My journey started a few months ago, I have 6 royal palm turkeys, 25 chickens and 9 ducklings in the brooder. Because chicken math I obviously have way more feathered friends than I intended and boy do they grow fast!! I'm still in pretty good shape as far as space goes but a lack of...

Hi! This is my first duckling hatch! Its sooo exciting I could just die. Hatch Day is officially today, however I have three ducklings that have already made their debut. One as early as Sunday Night, the second yesterday afternoon and third sometime last night. Number one must be getting...

I just have to get this out to SOMEONE! Bear with me this first post is a condensed 7 week journey... So here me out, I'm green at this chicken business. I feel like I've moved my way up the ranks you know? Crazy Cat Lady to Plant Lady and now (holy sh*t I have a farmhouse and property, this is...

Its day 24, this little one started pipping last night, it's still chirping and shaking but hasn't made much progress. Please advise! I had 13 of 30 eggs hatch on days 21 and 22 and left the others in just in case. Do I leave this little one alone? Do I help it out? I know the likelihood of...

Forgive me if this has already been addressed (as I'm positive it has) but I just have such a time navigating this app... This is my first hatch! Last one in was a rotten egg I guess... I found it really late last night in the incubator (of course it was one of only four blue eggs...)its been...

Hi! New at this from Ontario, Canada. In the process of converting an old farm shed into a coop! Appreciate all the tips and tricks I can get! Thanks! (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Brand spanking new! No experience. No history. Just trying to follow my ddreams...
