    Easter Egger pullet suddenly stops laying??

    I have a lot of chickens...and they are all healthy, happy, fat with normal poo. One of my Easter Egger pullets, Lacey, is right around 6 months old. She had been giving me a beautiful green egg at least every other day. It was almost 'sale' size. She suddenly stopped. Completely. It's...

    Umm...Can I broody hens hatch & 'start' to raise 3 Pekin ducks??`

    16 baby chicks...

    Hi everyone! I'm back. I bought 16 day old pullets from our local TSC last week. They had three breeds in one tub - Ameraucana, Rhode Island Red and Buff Orpington. I was hoping for about 5 of each, with the 'extra' one being either RIR or BO. I took the following pic's today, so they are...

    Silkie head injury/crooked neck...

    Buffy, my Buff Silkie pullet (I know - how creative of me) has been acting strange for the past few days. She was laying outside the coop quite a bit...and while my Silkies don't seem to care too much about the cold, Buffy was outside during heavy, wet snow and rain/sleet. I put her back in...

    Something is wrong with this hen...HEAVY pics...

    I have a sickly hen... 1) What type of bird , age and weight. She is Red Sex Link/Red Star (even though I was told she's a RIR - ha). Rhody is supposedly just a little over 1 year...probably right around 5 or 6 pounds. 2) What is the behavior, exactly. Right now she is REALLY into eating...

    As some of you know, I raised two cockerel's together - Marley, who is an almost 1-year old Polish cock and Ikey, a Bantam Cochin who turned 6 months old today.

    I have some sick girls...

    Hi all. I live in Indiana and this is my very 1st winter having chickens. It's been a bitterly cold winter for here with highs barely making it out of the single digits most days. In the middle of two cold fronts we had a massive warm-up with highs near the 50's three days straight, then...

    3 MO White Silkie Pullet ill

    Hi. I have a 3-month old white Silkie pullet that has been acting lethargic and one nostril was wet. I quarantined her with a heat lamp, fresh water & food and have kept her in there for a few days. She seems to be getting stronger every day. I did pick some 'boogers' off that nostril that...

    My favorite Red Star Ginger isn't quite right...

    Hi. I have a 5-month old Red Star pullet named Ginger. This morning I went out to collect eggs, check water, feed, etc. She seemed fine. I went back out around 11:00 & she was rather listless...like she was tired or something. I held her for awhile, brought her in the house & she promptly...

    Hi! It's me again. LOL! Well, one of my 'babies' started to crow today. Which is what I suspected, but wasn't sure until today. Here's my question... How difficult will it be to transfer him to the layers? I have a 1-year old Buff Orpington Rooster in with them already. There are 4 hens...

    2 Roo's - 2 Problems? Poo picture!

    First, I'll start with my 75-day old Polish Roo, Marley. He was 72 days old in these pic's. I'm wondering if this is 'normal' for his crest to look like this during adolescence? He was pecked slightly one day & I applied some Bacitracin & kept him separate for a night. I put him back in with...

    Hi! I received my chickens - they are currently 72 days old (my 17 oldest - my 'babies' are only 23 days old - LOL). I had some substitutions - both of my Black Stars and 1 of my Silver Wyandotte's. I have figured everything out but one...I think she's an Australorp as she's looking more &...
