My chicken, Big Momma, stopped laying in August and has been losing feathers. I thought maybe it was just that she was molting but she is really starting to worry me. She prefers to sleep away from the flock and just looks sick to me. She is supposedly 3 years old and I have had her since...
I thought it would be neat to have a place to share our chicks as they grow from chick to adult.
I currently have a hen who hatched out 4 chicks. They hatched on 7/13/14-7/16/14. My rooster is a beautiful LF cochin and he was in with several other breeds so these chicks are mixed.

My cochin hen went broody and I just let her hatch out the eggs that were under her. All the chicks are 23-26 days old. They are all 1/2 cochin because my rooster is an LF cochin. The hens that were laying at the time were 2 white rocks, a lavender Orpington, and my LF cochin. I thought it...

Chick 1, I believe it is a cockerel.
Chick 2, I believe it is a cockerel.
Chick 3, I believe is a cockerel
Chick 4, I believe is a...
My LF cochins newly hatched chick was not coming out from under her so I gently lifted her and could tell there was a problem. It is very tiny and weak and had shavings from the nest plastered to it's rear end. I gently tried to get them off and liquid poured from it's rear end. I could not...
I had several people tell me my bantam pullet looked like an Orpington. It has now been brought to my attention that she no longer looks like an Orpington. It really does not matter, just would be nice to know. Here she is.
Pics are from most recent about 10 weeks old to a couple days...
I got these two about 5 days ago and one is laying an egg every day but I am not sure which one. I was told they were white leghorns but I am not sure as they seem quite small to me. Can you tell about how old they are from the pic? Or is there a way to tell? Also I am pretty sure they are...
Hi all
I am fairly new to chicken keeping and I am not sue what to think of my very tired pullet. She is an Old English game bantam and about 11 weeks old. I noticed yesterday that she was sleeping a lot and not staying with the other chickens. She did eat and drink but even when I am...
All are 10 weeks old and OEGB. I am not sure what their color is anyone know?

I got several straight run bantam chicks from TSC about 3 weeks ago and was wondering if anyone can tell what breed and it is probably to early but if they are pullets or cockerel. I listed the breeds I think they are but this is my first time with chicks.
