I got eggs from a friend with a wide variety of chickens and Im curious what you guys think he has mixed in with him. Let me know if a better picture would help. He stands about 10 inches tall and is under a year old.
Thanks in advance!
Has anyone tried this to break the habit of chickens roosting up in trees? I have a couple hens that are roosting in the trees right next to my dog kennel and I am scared of what would happen if they accidently flew into it. I have read about locking the girls in the coop for a couple days and...
I know the pictures are not the greatest but I was wondering if anyone could help me in determining the sex and breed of this little one. "She" is about 5 weeks old and was sent to my feed store as an extra when I ordered my chicks. Does "She" have any traits that stick out one way or another? I...
My girls are missing lots of feathers around their Vents and Ive tried a couple different things to resolve this but nothing is working so far. I know lice can be hard to see but Ive checked even the whitest of my hens at midnight and I never find anything. They have lots of time to free range...

It’s time to admit that I officially have Hatching Fever. I started with chicken eggs and now I have some pheasant eggs due to hatch in a few weeks. So far my hatch rates have been really good even though I’m still a beginner. Now that I’m comfortable with my incubator and have a better...

Does her rear end look normal? It appears there is some sort of blockage but since this is my first hatch I want to double check. She is moving around is chirping alot, slowly getting fluffed up too :) Please tell me i'm just...
Im starting lockdown this morning, I have one egg that will hatch sunday but the rest arent ready yet. I have the auto turner in for the others but I'm worried the single egg won't be able to position itself correctly because of the plastic frame of turner. Should I be worried or am I just being...
Can someone tell me I'm wrong in thinking this little egg died? This was just candled at the end of day 8. I knew there was a chance the egg wouldnt develop to fully develop but when I checked it the other day it looked great. This is my first incubation so I'm hoping I'm just looking at it...
My friends got this rooster the other day, We are curious if you guys can tell us what breed he is. Hes absolutely beautiful and I wish I could keep him but afraid my neighbors might cull me if I do lol. I might try and breed him with my Barred Rock because his golden colors with her light gray...

So I placed an order for the Brinsea Mini Advanced last thursday, the website said they are Temporarily out of stock until December 12th (Which is today). I called Customer Service to ask if I had made the cut off for this shipment and the lady on the other line was very unprofessional. She...

I'll be starting my first batch of babies right after Christmas and I hope everything goes well. I'm starting out with the Brinsea Mini Advance, the reviews made this out to be one of the best for beginners...
I unfortunately have to be away from home during the day so I miss seeing the girls during their most active time, it drives me crazy not being able to hangout and watch them play. I wish I could be a stay at home momma and just make my world all about my chickens but alas, I cant pay all my...
I just got off the phone with City Hall and they gave me the thumbs up on having my chickens. The lady told me that we CAN have them even though we don't have quite an acre, as long as we respect the noise ordinance and don't let the coop get smelly. Looks like I will be getting 2 babies in the...
