    Pretty sure this isn't an EE?

    We just took in this rooster from a lady in the suburbs. She told me she was bringing over an Easter Egger, but showed up with this guy. He looks nothing like any of the *many* EE/Americaunas we've had, so could he possibly be a Cream Legbar? Regardless of what breed he is, he is GORGEOUS and...

    Suddenly aggressive hen!

    I've got a big beautiful Bourbon Red hen, maybe 2 years old, and she's always lived in a mixed flock of chickens, ducks, and other turkeys with no incident. She's either kept to herself or happily mingled with the rest, until this past week. Suddenly, she's beating the living daylights out of...

    Can a broody turkey hen hatch DUCKLINGS?

    I've got a lovely bourbon red hen gone broody, and I wonder if she would be able to hatch some duck eggs for me? I've been waiting for the duck herself to go broody, but our drake just got sick and now I'm afraid we won't have any more fertile duck eggs very shortly so I'm desperate to hatch out...

    Is this really a Silver Ameraucana?

    I was told by this rooster's previous owners that he was a full Silver Ameraucana. I know that people are often told that a bird is a full Ameraucana when it's really an Easter Egger mutt, so I was just wondering if he does in fact look to be a true Ameraucana? I ask because he's a proud papa to...

    Bloody eggs?

    We've had an unusual amount of blood-covered eggs popping up in the nest boxes this week. We will usually get the occasional bloody egg from a new layer or if it's abnormally large, but we've been getting them that look like this all week, from different hens. It is possible that one or two are...

    High protein day, then three hens laid double yolkers! Coincidence or not?

    The other day I roasted a grocery store chicken and used the giblets to make gravy. After dinner I tossed all of the strained giblets and veg to the chickens and they gobbled them all up. The next day, THREE of my hens laid double yolk eggs! None of them has ever laid a double yolker before. I...

    My chicken is broken.

    I have 2 black sexlinks that we got for free when we moved into our new house, and they kind of freaked out when we brought our flock of 30 other girls to live in *their* coop. They were both previously laying beautiful large eggs, but the previous owners reported that one of them frequently...

    Updated with new pics, opinions please! Leg mites or feathered legs?? AND possible fungus on comb?

    I just adopted this Australorp x Silkie mix since she's a proven broody and good mother. The lady I got her from blamed the crazy raised scales on her legs on her feathered leg gene, saying that this chick's siblings all have feathered legs but this one doesn't. The first thing that jumped in my...

    What breed are these two girls?

    We just bought a house and these two hens came along with the coop here. They're a little crabby since we brought 23 new chickens to invade their coop, but generally they're nice and they lay large, light brown/almost pinkish eggs.
