    Puffed, Sick Looking Chicken, Green and Yellow Poop

    These tiny bugs are everywhere! What are they?

    These bugs seemed to pop up overnight, my hub noticed them over the weekend. What are they and how do we get rid of them? We have dealt with chicken lice before on the birds, but having them ALL OVER the run is new. Help!

    Free Silkie Mix Rooster - Atlanta

    Sir Sylvia is in need of a new, good home. He's a good rooster, will puff out his chest to attempt intimidation, but not too aggressive. I have no issues cleaning the coop, refilling food around him. We recently got a new batch of chicks and so far two are already roosters, so it's time to start...

    What breed is my roo?

    I've been suspicious of Peggy Olson for awhile now, and with the recent appearance of golden saddle feathers she's pretty definitely a he. He came in a group of 13 chicks we ordered from chickensforbackyards.com, he is almost 3 months old. The original order consisted of 11 chicks, but they...

    We lost Linda today... Updated... I found her alive!!

    I'm feeling a little bummed out, we lost our beautiful white hen Linda to a hawk today. We are 3 years into our backyard chicken experience, and I love my chickens! I don't mind the chores of cleaning their run, refilling food and water, etc. because they are just such fun animals. However, over...

    Injured Leg (no sign of trauma but not moving) - Is there anything I can do?

    My husband found our EE hen in the corner of our run. She has a small spot on her head that looks like some feathers have been pulled out, and her right leg is showing no signs of movement or ability to withstand weight. We have checked her leg thoroughly and see no damage to the exterior. Her...

    Continuous messy bum

    My 1 1/2 year old buff orpington hen has had a messy bottom for the last three weeks. When we first noticed it we took a closer look and discovered what I believe to be chicken lice nesting around her vent (small and white). We sprinkled her, the rest of the flock, and the coop with seven dust...

    Correct way to combine flocks

    I have tried doing my own research and looking at other threads, but there is so much advice on how to combine flocks it is hard to decide what is right and what is wrong. If anyone has a reliable link to a post here or another website that gives good combining advice I would love to see it...

    12-13 weeks old, boy or girl frizzle?

    Even though I know I should probably wait for a crow or an egg... I can't help but wonder if Harold Crick is a boy or girl. Postings at 4 weeks old had very mixed results on whether or not she is a boy or girl. She showed signs of a comb and wattles fairly early, but they haven't grown much...

    Coccidiosis again?

    I have a 10 week old EE chick who started showing lethargic signs today. When she was around 2-3 weeks old she began getting lethargic, showed signs of bloody stool, and I put her on corid for 7 days, 2 tsp per gallon of water. She recovered and was doing fine until today. I noticed her head...

    Can you tell how old my rooster is?

    I have what I believe to be a silkie/cochin mix rooster. He has 5 toes on each foot, very blue earlobes (the picture doesn't do it justice), and a definite streamer/head feathers coming in. My question is, can you tell a chick's age? I know rooster traits start to show themselves at different...

    I am going out of town Thursday evening through Sunday and am trying to decide what to do with my baby chicks.

    I'm stumped on Sylvia's breed...

    I posted a little over a week ago, but am hoping with better fully body pictures and her a little older I will get more feedback! I was told she was a silkie, but obviously that is out. She has fully feathered feet, only four toes, a small head compared to my other chicks, black and brown semi...

    Is there such thing as Smooth Silkie? If not, what do I have? approx. 4 weeks old

    I purchased Sylvia as a silkie, the woman I bought her from said she was a smooth silkie. She then said people say there is no such thing as this, but this is going to be one, so they are wrong... Is it a silkie? I want another fluffy chicken, and was hoping for the fluffy head, but am now...
