    Dumped chickens, mixed breed?

    Hi there. Just rescued two dumped chickens from the woods near me and I'm guessing they are boys? I have no idea about breed though but guessing mixed breed? Also what age do you think they are? They aren't crowing at the moment so I'm thinking they aren't that old? Thanks for reading.

    Blindness in old hen

    Hi there. I've managed to rehome two hens from a guy who was packing in keeping chickens. One is a three year old brown layer (she's fine *check edit*) but one is a eight year old White Star who is blind in one eye. I'm quarentining them for the next four weeks but I was just wondering what you...

    What Breed is this guy?

    Hi there. I rescued this lovely guy after he was abandoned/dumped and I can't keep him here since I'm not allowed cockerels and I've already got one here without permission (no one has complained, fingers crossed). I was just wanting to rehome him but want to check what breed he is so I can...

    10 Week Silkie Sexing!

    Woo, more silkies to sex! I think I've got it right but in need of a second opinion. Hatched out four eggs 10 weeks ago and I think I've got 3 boys and 1 girl. I've got too many cockerels as it is and I'm sure they'd make great pets to someone who could have them. First up is Scruffy, pretty...

    17 Week Old Silkies

    I should know by looks now but I'm just looking for clarification/correction! I've got Wilf and Wendy here, I got them when they were 7 weeks and now they are 17 and I still can't make my mind up. There is no eggs from either of them or no cockerel behaviour either. Wilf has feathered legs...

    Is this egg fertile?

    Hi there. Yesterday my neighbour said he thought he heard crowing from my coop, I've never heard it and never seen any sort of behaviour from my ladies. So I'm making a cake and I saw this on my egg, I've looked online and the photos from Google aren't clear enough/too small on my phone screen...

    Broody Hen in Winter (UK)

    Hello BYC. It turns out I've got a broody hen but it's brink of winter here. Temps here are starting to drop to 41 Fahrenheit overnight but will drop to 27f sometimes. I know the USA gets colder climates than this but I'm wondering if I'll be okay setting off a broody hen this time of year or...

    A few questions about my new babies...

    Hello, I've recently just got my first "new" hens from a seller from the internet and I was wondering if it was possible to age/sex/breed my four birds. I've got two Silkies, one white and one black, A pekin cross and a White Leghorn. I'm sure they are all hens, he said the white Silkie is...

    Starting my first hatch, Info needed.

    Hello everyone! This is going to be my first attempt at hatching eggs in a still air incubator so i'm panicking and trying to get everything perfect instead of keeping calm, taking my time and learning from my mistakes. I'm picking up the incubator tomorrow but my Dad says it works so i'll hold...

    Hello from the UK.

    Hello everyone! I've lurked and read for a while now so I've decided to take the plunge and sign up and try to be a member of the community here. I've grown up around chickens but moved away for university, I kept going back to my parents to feed and deal with their hens and it wasn't until...
