I got chicks from Tractor Supply in April.
I’m not sure what breed this brown one is? It is the softest chicken I’ve ever had.
They said the gray one is a Prairie Bluebell.
They’re about a week apart. And 5/6-ish weeks.
Do you think they’re both pullets?
I have a chicken who has been sneezing (I think it’s a sneeze) for a couple weeks. It’s not a lot, but it hasn’t resolved. She also recently started gasping for breath at times. The past 2 days she’s been a little more lethargic and today I saw her sitting with her eyes closed for a bit. But...
Missing 10 11-week old chickens overnight. I found the bodies of 2 and feathers from 2 others. The other 6 I don’t see a trace of.
We had the in the run at night and during the day acclimating them with the 1 year old chickens.
Of course it’s all the favorites. My kids are going to be just...
I have 2 golden laced Polish. One is definitely more golden and one more black. Approx 5 weeks old. Gender ideas?
Pictures 1-3 - bird A - that’s more golden
4th - bird B with more black
5th - both together
6th - bird B with more black
I am at my wits end. I have 7 chickens left (lost 4 since July). They are all between 20-22 weeks old - none have laid yet.
Is it possible to have a strain of coccidiosis that just won’t go away? I’ve been battling this for months.
I was advised to do a very strong dose of corid. I did 3 tsp...
I have a red sex link who is about 22 weeks and hasn’t laid her first egg yet.
She has been sitting like a penguin for about 5 days. At first I thought it was because we are battling coccidiosis (again, see below), but it didn’t get better. So I have her in the “hospital” by herself.
1. I...
Noticed a bird sitting weird when eating/drinking. It’s like her leg is bent under her...does she have a broken leg? Is there anything I can do?

We had suspected coccidiosis 2 weeks ago (treated with Corid for 7 days).
Now, I found this in their poop this morning. Is this coccidiosis? They are about 10 weeks old.
From this morning:
From this afternoon:
The offending chicken (the gray one):
Hi - I have a 6 week old Americauna chick who I noticed was lethargic earlier this afternoon. I noticed her poops (picture attached) were liquid, yellow diarrhea. I let her be, and then checked again after awhile and noticed her crop was very large and soft (like a water balloon).
I have taken...
I have 11 chicks about 5-6 weeks old (I think...the farm we got them from have us the ages but I think they were a little younger).
I noticed a bit of blood in some poop the morning, so I investigated in the brooder box and found a few spots of blood in the mulch.
I watched the chicks until I...
Can anyone tell me the gender of my australorp and SLW and maybe the production red that you can see the tail of in the bottom of a couple pictures? They are about 21 weeks and I haven't heard any crows
Hi all, this is my first time having chicks. I have been checking for pasty butt like crazy, but found out today that I need to be cleaning the poop off their feet (call me naive, I guess I just thought it wiped off from their bedding)...anyway, I just cleaned them all up and one of the my...
