Just got her . Is she a mix or an EE?

Hey all. I've been a member for a few years, but have been inactive for a long time. I recently moved from Riverside, CA to Hesperia, CA and will be starting a new flock VERY SOON. I'm so excited. Next weekend we will be getting the coop and then my husband will modify the inside for me, and...

I kinda rescued this little ducky from someone who got it and didn't know how to care for it. Pekin? He or she is 2 weeks old today!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share an experience I had with a sick BCM. She came down with a cold and had an extremely swollen eye. It litterally sounded like she was drowning, the way she was breathing!!!! I separated her from the flock, set her up in my garage with food and water and started...

These were sold as silver wyandotte, gold wyandotte, and "ameraucana" Obviously I know better, but any guesses on actual breeds?

Hi everyone. I've had my chickens for over a year. A couple of months ago, a stray sick hen found her way into my yard. She had some weird poop issue, was all pasted up, and died. Now, a lot of my birds have been getting sick, but not with the same type of thing. One buff orp suddenly became...

A few weeks ago, a stray hen showed up in my yard. I have 18 chickens myself, I sort of think someone dumped her in my yard. Well, she's some kind of a mutt. I've never seen a hen like her before. But she is sick! She had poo stuck all on the bottom of her. I bathed her and isolated her for 3...

One of my black copper maran was attacked & injured by my other birds. Right now I have her in a cat crate. She seems to be doing ok...I don't know what else to do for her. I cleaned it with warm water and an antiseptic spray without any "caine" ...specifically for animals. How long do I need to...

This little white girl Is my mystery baby. She's about 4 months old I think. Quite a bit smaller than my others. Is she ee? Ameraucana? Her legs are grey and her comb is like an Ameraucana.

I have a small flock & so does my neighbor. He has wayyyyy more birds than I do. They have approx 10 large birds in a coop, and approx 20 bantams in a chain link dog run with only a small shade structure. Last week, they went on vacation and asked my teenage son to feed & water for them while...

Pullet or cockerel?

This little one is 2.5 weeks old. Feisty as all get out! I think it may be a roo. Since I'm new at this, do d'uccle hens also have red combs? Here's a pic of the kid.

My favorite, friendliest hen (also last in pecking order) has this weird area of missing feathers. It's been about 2-3 weeks and I think I can see new growth, but I want to make sure it's not something else. Any ideas?

First attempt at a natural hatch. Had lots of problems due to my own inexperience... But today I got my first baby! . Both parents are black Ameraucana from chickens galore in norco. I hope she's a girl!

I have a broody hen who started out with a clutch of six eggs. I marked them all and numbered them. Within about a week, she kicked out #5. I thought it was a fluke, so I put it back. Several days later, a hen pecked it, broke it, and one of them ate it. Oh well. Now we have 5 eggs. Fast...

I have 4 hens and a rooster. One of the hens has suddenly started hoarding the eggs & gets very MAD when I take them. She also is preferring to sleep in the nest box rather than on the roost with the others, AND seems to be keeping to herself a lot. I don't know if she's laying eggs or not, as...

My yard is 1/3 of an acre. When it rains heavily, it floods terribly. Thankfully it is not often since I'm in Southern California. We are supposed to get heavy rains this weekend. My coop is on a high side of the yard but may still flood 2-6" in water. The water comes in from the neighbors yard...

Hi! I got my first "flock" about three weeks ago. They are black ameraucana. I have 4 hens and a rooster. Nice to be here!
