    Bumble Foot?

    Thinking this is bumble foot, but she's acting fine & not limping. 1st time dealing with this as this is our 1st backyard flock. This is my son's baby! Is this contagious to our other 3 hens or to humans? We just ordered some iodine to do a iodine and sugar wrap. If the scab has no crusty...

    Is there a difference between....

    Is there a difference between blue laced red & red laced blue Wyandottes? We got three chicks yesterday to love up under our broody hen. It went perfectly! Here is one of the "Blue Laced Red Wyandotte's" up close and then 2 of them from above. The other one I posted another thread about, because...

    New SWEETIES!

    We were told that this baby is a Black Giant Cochin Hen. Can anyone confirm. She seemed unsure.

    It's me again....

    Our broody barred cochin NEEDED to be a mom, so we jumped on down to Trader Joes to get her some fertile eggs. She has been sitting on them for about a week now and I have a few questions as a newbie. 1) We have been candling them every night and see no change. When should we start raising...

    Broody? Panting? HELP PLEASE!

    I cannot tell if Magdalena is being broody? She has started beak breathing, but I assumed it was the heat here in Cali. Today, she came out & ate and then went right back to her box. If you move her, she finds another one. She seems to be eating. Trying to add tid-bits as I think of them...

    Newbie help please.

    One of our chickens laid her first egg this morning. We're not sure which one it is, but we suspect the Rhode Island White, because when I came near her, she hunkered down and started stomping her feet. But...The small brown egg was not on the side she normally sleeps on. My questions are...

    Baby chick down...

    We are so bummed that we lost our red (2nd to last) baby chick yesterday. No explanation and she was our favorite. :/ She did tend to have narcolepsy, but we thought she was just comfortable being held and fell asleep easily. Against my better judgment, we got an identical chick that is one week...

    Newbie heat question

    Thank you in advance all. Our weather here has been pretty hot. Today is a planned 95-100 degrees. Should I turn the eco-glow off for the day? Chicks are just at 2 weeks old. Currently in the garage in a bin/brooder. We take them out into the yard 3-4 times a day for fun & excersize. Already...

    A quick HELLO!

    Hi all! My name is Nikki and our household of 5 just adopted the 4 beauties in my avatar. We live in Orange County CA. We are not sure of the breeds we chose, as we went by color & the way to cause the least arguments between the kids. LOL If memory serves we got a Rhode Island Red, an...
