    Fractured Eggs

    I have a Bantam hen who is laying cracked eggs. The eggs look like they cracked inside of her while the shell was being made and then repaired the crack. I don’t think this is a good thing, why is this happening? Will post pictures soon

    New breed with Green Eyes

    I want to make a new breed of chicken with green eyes. Last year I bred my buff brahma bantam rooster to my mottled Cochin bantam hen. Two out of two eggs hatched, one was a pullet the other was a cockerel. They were all black until they got their adult feathers, then they got some reddish...

    Chickens have breathing problems.

    My chickens all seem happy, and healthy. They run around without gasping. The one year olds all have scraggly feathers this year. But sometimes when they struggle they gasp. One of them will yawn over and over just standing there. Today one was pecked and afterwards she stood still with her head...

    Hatching a Fairy Egg

    I got a fairy egg two or three days ago, I think it's from a bantam. The same day my Mille Fluer D'Uccle hen went broody, she's been broody before but I didn't let her hatch chicks. I gave the fairy egg to her to hatch. And for those of you who don't know, a fairy egg is an abnormally small egg...

    Multiple chickens have Bumblefoot

    A year ago my white Cochin bantam hen Marshmallow had Bumblefoot on the middle of both of her feet. I cured it. Now, her scars have opened up and there are scabs but I don't think it's Bumblefoot. Recently 3 other chickens got it. They are the oldest ones I have, they are 5, 5, and 3 years old...

    I Don't think it's Bumblefoot?

    Ginger, my golden laced Wyandotte hen is 5 years old, she has had a bum leg for a couple years so when she runs she gallops. She gets around fine, it doesn't seem to bother her, today I noticed her bad foot has some black/brown stuff on it. At first I thought it was bumblefoot but it's not one...

    Switching a hens chicks.

    My Cochin bantam currently has four, 7 week-old chicks that she hatched herself. I am expecting an order of 15 chicks any day now. My question is: can I switch the new chicks with Marshmallows chicks? Will she accept the younger ones? They don't chirp for mama when she is not around but if...

    Scab on crop/breast?

    I just found a scab about the size of a nickel on my bantam buff brahma hens crop area. I didn't do anything with it, she seems fine, acting normal. Is it possible she cut it open?

    Cochin Brahma cross

    I crossed a buff brahma bantam roo over a mottled Cochin bantam hen. I've been doing some research and it seems like the boys would have pea combs and the girls would have single combs? These are the two chicks I got out of it, they don't have names yet... ;)

    Hawk!

    So a few months ago I was sitting in the yard with my bantam chicks (about half grown) and one of the chicks made a warning noise so I looked up and this hawk goes gliding past and into the woods. I was pretty scared so I put them all away after that. Well today, the bantams are full gown and it...
