So I went out to Le Peep, my coop, and found this egg under one of my chickens. The egg was from one of my birds, Cheekie. Earlier this month she laid an egg with no shell, and what looked like a deformed shell was beside it. So should I be worried about her? She also is looking like she lost...
Hi, so this is my beautiful boy Columbia, and I know he is either a silkie or a sizzle, but what baffles me is his color!! He is gorgeous, but I have no idea what color he is. When he was born he was all black with a white spot on his head.... anyone have an idea? Sorry for any blurry photos...
I have 5 eggs, all hatching different dates, they are in an incubator with an egg turner. its one of the bigger styrofoam hova bators. I have a chick hatching soon, but i don't know what I can do! This is my first hatch using a bator!!! EEK!
I have a broody and i don't think she kept the humidity of the egg at a healthy point because the chick broke some shell off, but cant break the membrane, I can see her pushing up on it, but it is not breaking. I put a drop of water on it and you could see through to her but She can''t get out...
I get up this morning and go out to my coop, which is silent as a mouse. When I looked in, my poor silkie rooster, Chicken, (thats his name) is asleep in a pile of chicken poop, with his body all sprawled out. Evef had a rooster do that??? When I picked the poor guy up, he didnt complain he just...
Hi I have an americana chicken, about 7 months old, and she has multiple very concerning symptoms. they are:

- skin is flaking
- out cast from the rest of flock

My hen has gone from mean (biting...puffing up...the norm for a broody hen) to absolutely calm and she is making this noise that sounss like cooing. .. its really weird. And she does this thing with her neck where she twists and benss at ths same time... its really very strange. Does anyone know...
My hen has been laying fertile eggs for a while, and i have just been putting them in the fridge, but i am wondering something. If she hatches them, will Murdoch's or Tractor Supply take the chicks i get? Or is it too late in the year for them?
one of my silkie hens laid 2 eggs today. one of them, she let me have, the other, (after hearing some concerning sounds from her and the roo) she sat on and built a nest around herself. I wasn't sure if she was sitting on an egg at first, so I went and picked it up. After getting some funny...
Lets see how many laughs we can get out of this!!!! Someone will post a question, and we can see how many delightful answers we can get! i will start: Why did the chicken cross the road?
I don't know what is wrong, she is very sleepy, has very red skin on her head, and i have noticed one of my other chickens (same age) trying to peck at her eyes! Usually she is very aware of her surroundings, and won't let me hold her very easily, but now she is SUPER careless about everything...
