    What kind of chickens would these be with black combs

    I picked up some red sex links and was told these were black sex links but why are the legs and combs black. What could these be?

    Rooster?

    Is this a rooster. The red one. I have known for weeks that the white one was a rooster because of the feathers but the big one hasn’t really had many pointed feathers. Looked like a big hen for a while. But now I see some shiny feathers. Think this is a roo? They are about 20 weeks

    Broken egg

    My broody hen Penny has been sitting on 8 eggs for 18 days and today one egg broke and I found the baby dead. There is yolk stuck to some of the other eggs. Will this be ok since the others should be hatching in a few days. Thanks.

    Hatching eggs dilemma

    Last year my broody hen Penny hatched eggs. This year the rooster died 12 days ago. My hen just went broody the other day. I read the the eggs they lay can still be fertile? Also she spent the entire night on them the first night but then left them during the day and went back at night...

    Bumblefoot

    I have a chicken with bumblefoot. It was on one foot and I cut it out two years ago and bandaged it up and she has been good. It has now come back in both feet and one is very swollen. Pad is huge and I think she is in pain. Should I just put her down at this point. Thanks.

    Gender help

    Hatched two chicks 12 weeks ago. The dark one is defiantly a rooster but the other one I’m not sure. They feathered completely different. White/red one feathered very slowly and I have seen the rooster feathers in the dark one for a few weeks. He also has a rooster voice when the others...

    New babies

    My broody hen Penny has hatched two chicks. They are a week old. I kept them separated from the rest of the flock (4 hens)for the first week. They were in my garage in an old bathtub. :) Today I introduced them to the flock and there were not many issues. The mother and babies are choosing...

    Day 19

    The other day one of the eggs under my broody got cracked most likely by one of the other hens laying an egg in her nest box and I lost the chick inside. I have two left. I moved her to her own secluded area since I don’t want anything to happen to the last two! Since I moved her she has...

    Dead chick

    This is my first time hatching eggs with a broody hen. Started with 4 eggs. One of them wasn’t fertilized so I got rid of it. Yesterday was day 18 and one of them had a little crack in it. Like a pip mark but not a hole. When I woke up I found the shell half off but the chick was dead...

    Hatching eggs

    I have a hen that went broody and I let her keep 4 eggs to try and hatch. It’s 8 days in and I checked last night with a flashlight and looks like all 4 of them are developing. I hear a lot of people let the hen raise them within the flock. Right now the nest box is 5 inches off the ground...

    Any ideas what breed this would be?

    This is Jimmy!! He’s about 5 months old. Friendly so far and just started crowing. Wondering what breed he would be? He was mostly barred when he was younger with rusty feathers.

    Adding new hen to the flock

    I have 4 hens about a year and a half old. I brought a new one home about 16 weeks old. I made sure she was disease free for the first two weeks then last week I divided the run with wire so the hens could see her but not touch her. At night I would put her on the roost beside them and...

    Was told this was an Orpington cross? Any ideas

    Just picked up this young bird who is very large and has huge thick legs. Was told it was an Orpington cross. Feathers are very fluffy and soft. Tips of tail feathers are black as well as some wing weathers and a few neck feathers. Any ideas? She is so friendly and nice!!!

    Pullers or cockerels

    I received these two easer eggers. I wasn't told the age of them but they look pretty young. They have been rushing each other and puffing their feathers out at each other. Do these look like cockerels?
