    Grey Egg?

    I have 3 possible layers on this egg. One girl was supposed to be an Easter Egger. One was supposed to be an olive Egger. And the last is a blue laced red Wyandotte. I know it’s grey from the bloom, there are some scratches and it’s green underneath. So I’ve either got 2 olive Eggers, or...

    What breed are these 2?

    One is supposed to be an Easter egger. The other an olive egger. They’re both just over 2 months old (hate date of June 29th-ish). But the supposed EE doesn’t have a beard or tufting of any kind. EE OE EE (left) and RIR (the those island still has chick down on her head. It’s so weird...

    Cocci?

    I’ve just had the worst luck with my birds recently lol. A couple of weeks ago these guys (5 chicks) finished a round of baytril for a respiratory something (it killed 3 of my hens… the other 2 responded to baytril… and I have 1 pullet that didn’t get sick) Anyway… the chicks are now 4-5...

    Why is this chick’s tail poofy?

    Supposedly a blue laced red Wyandotte. It’s about 4 weeks old, maybe 5. Lots of feathers in but the tail is all poof.

    What is killing my hens?

    Just lost my 2nd hen from whatever this is. Lost the first on Tuesday (it’s Thursday). Culled another hen this morning due to flystrike… she also had whatever this is and I honestly don’t think she would’ve made it :(. The first to fall sick died Tuesday. She was sneezing and gurgling Saturday...

    Speckled Sussex roo?

    4-5 weeks old. Bought 3 chicks and this is the last one left (another SS that got eaten by a snake and a Dominique that disappeared one afternoon). I feel like it’s legs are beefy, but hoping I’m wrong. No wattle growth yet. I know it’s early, but man… what luck to have the survivor be a roo lol.

    Probably Ocular mareks?

    This girl is almost 2.5 years old (hatched in March-ish 2019). She’s a CCL, at about 6 months old, she developed a limp (so did her OE sister, but OE got over it, CCL didn’t). It happened right around the time she started laying. About 9 months ago the whole flock had fowl pox. I have 11 hens...

    Will this baby make it?

    This is the end of a long story with a terrible hen. I’m afraid I’ve killed this chick :( I believe it was due to hatch anywhere from Friday to Tuesday (looked about 7 days on March 10th). yesterday evening I went to check on the broody, and I found the egg with half of its shell missing...

    Cream Legbar and an olive egger... girls?

    The bigger one is supposed to be an olive egger pullet, obviously a Cream Legbar mix, if nothing else lol... somewhere around 8-9 weeks old. Little one is meant to be a Cream Legbar pullet, about 6-7 weeks old. Short stubby tail... honestly has me worried. OE is more is the brown color...

    1 week old chick with large belly

    any idea what this is? It’s squishy, doesn’t seem to hurt him, but he does peep all the time, so I’m not sure. He did have a fall, and I’m wondering if that ruptured something? Maybe he peep’d himself into a hernia? Infected umbilical from scooting around before we got him? He’s...

    Olive Egger or ???

    I got this chick from the OE bin, at the same time we brought home a cream legbar pullet chick. OE is 1-2 weeks older than CL; it already had tail feathers sprouted while CL just had the beginnings of her wings. At first, we just thought that OE was a boy. But now I just don’t know what is...

    I think it’s a prolapse?

    I’ve notice for awhile that after my 13w old Barnevelder poops, she stands in place and kinda strains afterwards. I googled and looked at her vent, but didn’t see anything wrong, so figured that she was just odd. Today however, my son happened to be slightly underneath her when she pooped and...

    Do we rehome our cockerel?

    we have a slightly complicated situation. We brought 4 chicks home. One of our pullets ended up being a cockerel, his name is Noodle. Our original 4 are 10 weeks. We have another that’s 7 weeks. Friday we lost one of our pullets (our GLW). So now our pullets are our 10w buff Orpington and...

    My chick is a cuckoo... but not the fun kind

    Bought her, thinking she was a Barnevelder. Then her feathers started coming and... and they’re all wrong lol. I thought maybe she’s a Welsummer, but I don’t think that’s right either. Help? She’s the sweetest little chick, I love her to bits (based on how she’s feathering our, I’m assuming...

    Pullet or Roo?

    This is Noodle, we brought her/him home on February 7th. I assume it's around 4 weeks, possibly a bit older as it's larger than my other chicks brought home at the same time. The other day she/he started sprouting black/white or silver neck/chest feathers. I assume she/he is an EE, though was...

    Changing HOA by-laws

    Hello! We are buying/building a house in a subdivision that does not allow backyard chickens. I've looked at buying in different areas, but nothing else really works as well for our family; my kids take precedence over chickens... lol. However, my kids and I have our hearts set on having a...
