    Chick mystery

    I just received an order of baby chicks that included, or was supposed to include, a Rhode Island Red. We did indeed get a reddish-brown chick that LOOKS like a RIR, but this chick has definite feathers growing on both feet! Can RIRs ever have feathered feet? Is there another breed that looks...

    What in the world is this?

    I found a really bizarre lump of... something... fleshy (?) in the coop this morning. I put it in a plastic container and when my husband got home from work he cut it in half. It actually just kind of broke in half very easily with the sharp edge of a small piece of wood, almost like a lump of...

    two-day old chick in bad shape, please help

    We got a shipment of baby chicks at 6:30 this morning, most of them for my mom, who came and picked them up a couple hours later. They all seemed to be doing fine when they were here, but now one of them has what my mom is calling a crusty bump on its belly, and is very listless. Just laying...

    Siamese Eggs?

    Our 4 newest chickens just started laying a couple weeks ago, so we've been getting the usual tiny eggs, huge eggs, double-yolkers, no-yolkers, soft eggs.... but what my husband brought in from the coop this morning is by far the strangest thing we've seen yet.

    Is my speckled sussex a rooster?

    I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I want to be wrong... so posting anyway. 14 weeks old. Was totally oblivious till (s)he crowed yesterday morning and I actually looked for signs of her not being a her. This is our only speckled sussex, so we had no basis for comparison. Thanks.

    Egg quality issues and free-ranging

    Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience to mine. We have 7 laying hens, almost a year old now. They've been free-ranging on weekends, and evenings after we get home from work for several months, but about 3 weeks ago we put up a fence around the yard so they could free range all day...

    Strange sudden problem, not sure if it's an injury or illness or what

    Sorry for the long post, but I don't know if these symptoms are related, or a weird coincidence. I have 7 chickens that are normally confined to a run when we aren't home and let out to free range every weekday evening and all day on the weekends. Yesterday my husband let them out around 5 pm...

    large worm in 10 day old chick poo

    Hi, we have 7 baby chicks that we got 10 days ago from a mail order hatchery. This afternoon my husband discovered a poo with what looks like a smooth round worm in it. The worm is about the diameter of a piece of cooked spaghetti and about 1/2" long. This seems really big for a little 10-12...
