Hi - My Orpington hen of 4 yrs recently started showing signs of stiffness while walking, some imbalance, diarrhea, and is not eating/losing weight. She seems interested in food, but doesn't eat. The only thing I can think of is that it snowed a good amount while we were out of town, but its...

Hi! A couple weeks ago I posted a photo of the chicks I raised in hopes of knowing their gender! This chick in particular was hard to decide so here are some new pictures from a few weeks later just to be sure. I hope we can figure this out! Thanks! Edit : age 10 weeks

Hi! I hatched these chicks under a broody hen about 8 weeks ago. Can someone tell me what gender they are? I color-coded them :) Thanks! Black: Yellow: White: Green: Purple:

Hi, I am wondering about something that sounds like a cough that came from my two of my chickens (see here for recording: https://photos.app.goo.gl/7RsPFrrpnhB1HrpS8 ). Is it dangerous, or just the chicken equivalent of a cold? Should I quarantine them? Do they need any medicine? Thanks in advance

If you guys could sex this chick that would be great

A pair of my silkies have been raising this chick for six weeks and I was wondering what breed and gender it is. Thanks so much.

Its day 22 and one of my 3 remaining eggs have hatched (yesterday). One of the eggs has a thin crack about an inch long. My silkies are still happy to sit on it, but I candled them today for fun and didn't see anything. Both are 1/3 dark and 2/3 light. I don't know if this matters but the one...

Hello, One of my silkies has a strange lump on her right front. It’s a bit bigger than a golf ball. Could it be a tumor? She seems very lively and I don’t notice any behavior changes. She is slightly broody if that makes a difference, though she does go outside for at least 3 hours each day. I...

hi I’ve noticed some changes in the voices of my chickens. The most prominent is one of my silkies, which is below. I believe that another has the same thing, but it is much quieter.

Hi I have 3 about 6 week old chicks and was hoping someone would sex them for me :3 There is one with spots, one that is black with some shiny feathers and one that seems camera shy but it is various colors. It appears in the background. If you need any different angles please tell me.

I have month old chicks that i have some broodies raising and I was wondering for the tutus when I should have them stop eating chick food. Thanks Salad

Hello So basically last night one of my hens started acting weird she was kinda huddling up by herself and closing her eyes, and I thought it was the cold but the other chickens are acting normal. But today she is still doing it and when I came overnight to the coop the other chickens went right...

Hi, When I got my first flock as chicks, I had to put vitamins in the water. I hatched a single chick under one of my silkies, and raised her without vitamins but now with 3 more I'm wondering if I should put leftover ones from the first flock. They are called Amprolium. Any advice?

Hi, Does anyone know the breeds of these chicks? Thanks!

Hi, I have a EE that is a few days from being 3 months old and I was wondering what gender it is. Thanks!

Hey, My EE chick is just over 2 months old and I was wondering what gender it was. Also if someone could tell me the color, maybe a splash? Thx, Salad.

Hi, Got this one from a fertile egg farm. Was light blue egg. Maybe an EE or an OE? Don't worry about gender, I think its too young.

Heyo, Our first ever baby chick was hatched under 2 broodies (long story) a week ago. The two silkies who s/he hatched under have reached agreements on how to share her-him. But we have another broody who is VERY jealous. She sits where the silkies have been sitting, and follows them and the...

Hi, So my coop has NEVER had this many flies before. Normally there is only one and thats uncommon. Even with the food scraps we give them. But now, there are like 20 flies flying around the run and feasting on all the food scraps. Is it just seasonal? Or is there something wrong?

So, its about day 13 with the eggs under my broodies. I assume I am supposed to candle them soon, but honestly, I have no idea what day I'm supposed to do that and what to look for. Can anyone help?
