Hi everyone. I’m having trouble figuring out if this is a male or female. The age is just going on 6 months. Bigger than the rest. Not crowing and the spur is still pretty small. Thoughts???? Not the best pics but the black and white Brahma. I have a lot of angles lol
Good morning! Yesterday My 1 year old Brahma was breathing out of her mouth a lot and her butt seemed to pulsating. The temp was 62 degrees so I couldn’t imagine she was overheated and she had plenty of water. I watched her lay her egg and she was pulsating and bearing down pretty hard. But...
I let my chickens out this am and I saw this pool of blood. All chickens are accounted for and no injuries or strange behavior from anyone. I thought maybe a mouse or something had gotten in and they ate it but there was a bloody poop in the run after I let them out. Any ideas??
I have a white crested polish chicken that is just acting off. Dosing off at random times in random places. Aside from that she seems perfectly fine. I looked this up and other people have said it could be coccidiosis. If I treat one I have to treat all. Is there anything else is could be? Is it...

Hi everyone. So, for the past week I have been trying to introduce these little cuties into my established flock of orpingtons, australorps and creamed legbars. So far they are getting the booties beat. My older chickens just wont give them a break. At night my little ones stay outside the coop...
Good morning all. Can someone tell me what breed both the yellow and the black ones are? I feel like some of the yellow ones don't look healthy. They are eating, drinking and acting fine. Their feathers just look a mess. Also, a few of the yellow ones peck at me when I reach in to pick them up...
Hi everyone! I think that as chicken owners we have a lot more in common than just chickens. I think that we are a very unique and special group people. I think it is people like us that see that it is the simple things in life that bring the most true happiness. I wanted to start a thread based...
Hello everyone! Happy Saturday!!! Could someone please help me identify these white hens? I thought maybe Rhode Island White, but the black speckles are throwing my off. Any ideas? I'm stumped!
