    Successful breaking of egg eaters

    My chickens seem to be molting already. They are just now a year old. I noticed that egg laying had slowed down as I was hardly getting any eggs. We have an old dog crate that they usually lay in. Today my husband seen one of my hens come out of the crate and another chicken or two immediately...

    Cute and tiny assorted bantams - Breed??

    I just couldn't resist these little beauties when I went into the feed store. I'm wondering what breed they might be. I'm not necessarily concerned with sex yet because I know it is still early. Just curious as to what kind I may have. Both have 4 toes on each foot and pretty feathering...

    Cochin?? Roo or Pullet?

    This was my only one to hatch on Jan 11. It hatched out of the tiniest sky blue egg and I thought it may be a cochin because I thought that was what kind of eggs the man gave me. It's comb has grown some but looks a lot redder inside then when I take him/her outside. There really aren't any...

    I got this adorable BB Red for Christmas. He has been doing fine. However the past few days, I noticed that it looked like something ws on his face. At first I thought it was dirt or mud since we have had some periods of heavy rain. But it didn't go away. I brought him inside tonight to check...

    White Plymouth Rock or Leghorn or something else??

    He has white legs, almost like albino. His beak is also very pale with white earlobes I believe. He even has white right above his wattles on the sides. Almos looks bleached. He's pretty tall and stocky. I have to downsize on some roos so I want to make sure I advertise him correct.

    What breed

    We thought for a long time tht this was a girl. I even asked on here and at the time due to feathering, it still loomed girlish. Altho "she" has had saddle feathers come in and still don't hv round tail feathers like my other roos. We got it in the spring as a colored chick so no idea what it...

    HELP!! What do I do if I don't know what day the eggs are on?

    We recently found one of my hens that has been "missing" for between 1-2 wks. She has decided to sit on a clutch of eggs that her and some of the other hens have been collecting. We noticed that she was up off nest and roaming around today so my son went under the building to count the eggs. He...

    Any ideas as to the breed?

    I got this one as a little orange chick at Easter. Decided early on that it was a roo. I was just wondering if anyone had an idea as to what breed he may be. His legs and even his beak are so white and almost transparent. My daughter named him Al short for Albino. haha

    pullet/roo?? What breed?

    My daughter got this chick at Easter and it was dyed pink. Then feathered out white but got a red comb and face early. We thought for the longest it was a roo but the feathering is not looking rooish & the wattles have never really gotten bigger, like our other obvious roo. She is really hoping...

    Are these light brahmas and Gender if possible??

    My mom got these chicks for my kids for Easter so they are around 20 wks or so. They were dyed different colors so we had no idea what breed they were. As their dyed color has went away, they appear to be light brahmas to me. I'm really hoping so. Also is there any way to tell gender. I only...

    combs flopping over??

    We were given a few chickens last fall and some of the hens' combs were flopped and folded over. Around Easter, one of them hatched out some chicks. I noticed yesterday that about 2 of the chicks combs look like they are leaning over a little as it is growing. What caused the combs to lay over...

    "Runt" chick not growing

    I have one EE chick that isn't thriving as much as the others. All 7 of the others are much bigger than this one. Some of them seem to be almost three times its size. I have seen him/her eat and drink so I know it is not due to not being able to eat. I have had to separate it again from the...

    Week old chick with possible prolapse

    This is the first time I have ever had to deal with this problem or issue. I have been trying to research on here about how to fix a prolapse but mainly seeing it happen in older chicks and hens. In the past few months, when I had a baby chick with pasty butt, it didn't make it long after...

    Strange poop question. *Gross pic*

    I moved my 1 wk old EE chicks to an empty tote as I cleaned their brooder. When I went to put them back into the brooder, I noticed an odd pile of poop. It looks like a wad of mucus with some poo in the middle of it. Is this normal? I have never seen it before and I have no idea which chick did...

    I have never dealt with any parasites since owning my chickens. None of my chickens have had any problems walking or eating or such. I just happened to notice one of the legs of my black hens and it looks swollen and whitish in color. It also seems a little scaley. I was wondering if this is...

    Broody only hatched 1 chick

    I had a broody on about 8 eggs. Yesterday on day 22 only one hatched. How long will she sit on the rest waiting on them to hatch? I thought about getting more for her to sit on because we were hoping for more EEs. I just wasn't sure if I had time to get any and make the swap before she moved...
