    What totally black chicken comes from a dark large red egg?

    My neighbor gave me a couple of fertile large red eggs I thought were from copper Morans. What we got were totally black chicks that are now totally black chickens. Can anyone help us figure out what they possibly could be? The rooster was supposed to be one of our old Dominique or barred rock...

I’m leaning towards a rooster even though...

    Hi! So, I am invested in raising Bresse as my dual-purpose breed. I am aware of some of the issues that can arise with Bresse including genetic differences due to inbreeding and lack of fresh genetic material.

    Need Brainstorming Help on Nursery Seperation Coop

    Hey everyone! My Buff has hatched 1 of her 3 eggs (we aren't sure what the breed is yet but think it might be a Sumatran Bantam mix with one of our bantams or our Leghorn) and at the moment she is in our brooder which is more-or-less like a rabbit hutch. As soon as the rest of her eggs hatch, we...

    Does this intestine look odd?

    We found out recently our free range hens were free ranging the livestock feed more than we knew. We had one up and die every morning easter week almost for 4 days! Every morning a new hen dead in the coup. Had a vet do a post Mortem and she said healthy other than fatty liver disease! In my...

    2 Yr Buff with swollen foot

    So my son noticed one of our older hens had a very fat foot. He brought her into me and it doesnt look like bumble. The bottom is dirty from having more surface touching the ground where she walks but it doesnt seem to have a scab or sore on it anywhere. There is just a lot of edema and swelling...

    Large gall bladder?

    So we processed 17 twelve week cornish chickens yesterday. One had a really huge gall bladder which was bigger than their heart (pictured above). What could cause this? The rest had tiny gall bladders- some were long but all were quite small and rather insignificant compared to this one. All...

    How does broody raised chick drink?

    So here is our nursery setup- how does baby normally get water? I think the water setup is too tall for her to reach? Also, the water is clean it is just vitamin fortified and has some litter in it from mama. :) We change it every day to once every 2 days.

    Update on Jyn's Gapeworm Chicken

    Here is the original thread on my Black Jersey Giant Pullet, 'Boop'. So Boop is doing really well! The deworming meds seem to have worked and she only does it a little along with coughing Im figuring is related to a resp infection stemming from it. She started gaping quite a bit again later...

    Gapeworm ?

    I have a black Jersey Giant Pullet who is showing signs of Gapeworm. We noticed yesterday she was extending her neck as if she was trying to swallow something. This morning she was still doing it and she wasn't interested in eating with the other chickens. I carefully poured some water down...

    Bright GREEN Liver/Organs?

    We were processing some of our cornish X today and one of them had a VERY bright green liver. I'm talking the greenest grass color. It was the color of the organ itself, and it seemed huge- like I wasn't sure if it was all just the liver. I wish I had taken a picture of it because it was the...

I was wondering if anyone had...

    Hi! I'm Jyn!

    We have wanted chickens for a long time and lived in an area that would have been great for them, however our landlord did not understand the in's and out's of it as a city girl, so asked that we not have them. It was tedious- because we go through 14 DOZEN eggs a month as it is! Even our...
