I walked down to the coop tonight to find our one of our pullets, Kit, with scabs all over her comb and face. I checked her other side, and that side was also scabbed up, and half of her eye was closed from a scab. We recently introduced her and three others to the remains of our flock. I think...

We have a hen who is making a gasping noise whenever she breathes. She is not too interested in food, and has lost over .5-1 lb. She is slow to move around, and her comb is flopped over. There is no discharge from the eyes or nose, but I will check later to be 100% sure. Any help identifying...

Here's a show for our young hens! Rules and suggestions Entries should include breed and name. I will tend to pick pictures that are focused and clear. Example entry: Name: Betsi Breed: Light Brahma Enjoy! The contest will end July 30th, unless I need to extend the deadline. I will be...

Yesterday, my black australorp hen, the largest hen we have right now, collapsed. She kept looking up and walking until she fell over on her back and laid there for about 15-40 seconds, sprawled out, nearly completely still. I picked her up and she started walking and eating like nothing ever...

I have been looking around trying to find the breed of this little girl. I think she may be an Austra White, but would like to see what ya'll think. Sorry about the quality of the pictures, she is pretty shy.

I recently acquired several pullets, and one of them, I am unsure as to the breed. She is pretty shy and hard to take a close picture of, so that is why most of the pictures are farther away She has a single comb, white feathers and grayish legs

We have a hen who was attacked by something(I'm thinking a possum, since we have caught 5 in the past several months) and she may be going into shock. She is huddling in the tub we have her in and just standing there, and I have not seen her eat or drink. We do not have gatorade or powerade for...

We have had this hen for a while and were wondering if y'all could guess what breeds she is made up of. We got her as a pullet around 19 weeks. We know she has a blue egg layer in her, since hers is the blue/ green egg in my avatar right now. Here are some pics. Her name is peppermint.

We are planning to add some birds to our flock sometime soon, so wondering if anyone could suggest some breeds for us. Here are my qualities that I hope to have in the new birds Top Priority-Decent layers of non-white eggs, docile Would really like to have- Heat tolerant or winter layers...

We bought this Buff Orp and they said that they were all 14 wk old pullets. The beginning-to-grow long tail feathers and large comb and wattles(for 14 wks) are making me begin to doubt though We haven't heard any crowing, though.

We may be getting a bantam soon and I have some questions about them. What kinds of bantams lay the most eggs and are relatively docile, and what do they look like? I know that bantams don't lay as much as standard chickens, but it would be nice to get a few eggs from it. Also, how do you...

We just picked up these two 19 wk old pullets. The people said that they are either black sex-links or Giants(I am assuming that they meant Jersy Giants). One of the pullets has a shorter comb and has streaks of whit and brown in her black feathers. She also has some missing feathers. I think...

I thought that since there are hatchalongs and such, why not have a chick grow a long. Any kind of chick; ducklings, goslings any kind. Just post about your chicks and if you can post pics. You can start when they are cute and fuzzy or when they're 6 weeks old and your about to move them into...
