Recently we took in over 30 chickens of mixed breed. I really need help identifying some of them. I do know at least one of the breeds is giving me a true blue egg.
1: same breed
2:sorry, she's molting heavily

I found one of my girls like this this afternoon. She hasn't had it before today or I would have noticed. It looked like a ball of feces had formed around her vent. I placed her in a warm soak immediately and slowly removed the mass. To be honest I didn't think anything of it until the mass was...
This will be my first full year of having my chickens, I started last year in the beginning of February. In one pen I have:
21 Golden Comets/Golden Sex Links
2 Black Astrolorps
1 Gold Laced Wynadotte
1 OEB
2 Silkie Juveniles (a breeding pair)
1 Brahma Rooster
2 Golden Comet Juveniles (a pullet...
Help my eggs are at two weeks and the humidity dropped to 40! I filled the slots up with water again and it's increasing back to 70.. Will my babies be okay?? First time hatching. I have 34 eggs in there.. Temp. Stayed at 89.5
So, we have about 36 eggs inside of the incubator right now. It's still cold outside, and with our first big hatch, were building a nursery just for the chicks. How does everyone keep their chicks warm during the winter?
We will have up to 34 day old chicks that will be hatching between the 13th and the 18th. Most chicks will be Golden Comet crosses that will have been bred to either my Black Copper Maran rooster or my Brahma rooster. We may also have Back Astrolorp crosses as well. Chicks will be sold for $3.00...
Wanting male or female ducks in the Athens/ Winder area or someone who can meet me close by. Please message me if you have anything available (at least one grown duck). Need as soon as possible for a companion to my female Runner duck.
I just found my female duck dead this afternoon.. My runner drake was putting his head under her trying to get her up and laying with her. They have been hatch mates and eventually breeding mates... She was suppose to hatch out next spring and be a new mother. My drake was extremely close to her...
Hi, I'm in desperate search for answer as to what happened with my chicks.. Here we go:
At the beginning of November I took in a friends seven hens. She was loosing her home and gave me everything for free, her coop, her feed, her girls, everything. Knowing her hens were healthy as I saw them...
Hi, I'm a long time chicken owner and in the last two months I recovered a Muscovy duck and a Runner duck. Needless to say, I'm in love with them both and would like more. I'll start hatchin out my Muscovy ducks eggs (the Runner is a male) next spring. But in the meantime, I'm thinking about...
Over the last month I have lost my broody hen that was with her chicks and 3 of her babies. They just seem to be fine one afternoon and then dead the next. Yesterday I noticed one of the chicks was extremely lethargic and brought him home. One of his eyes was closed but he was still able to eat...

Hi, I have 16 Golden Comet Hens that are all laying right now. A family friend just rescued a flock on chickens from a farm that could no longer take care of them. The flock consisted of 4 pullets and 3 cockerels, two of the cockerels she wants to get rid of. I was wondering if there was a way...
