    Chicks wing just fell off?!?!

    I bought about 50 barred rock chicks from tractor supply a couple of weeks ago. With so many babies that look alike it's been tough to tell them apart, but I did noticed one chick had a wing that was sorta droopy. Then next thing you know there is a random wing just laying in the middle of the...

    What do I do about this weird sister wives situation with my broody hens??

    So, I have had 3 broody hens for several weeks. They have taken any babies I have given them before, so a Thursday I got them each 7 chicks. Gave them the chicks in there own nests, everyone happily took the babies and all was well. Several times I opened there nests to offer for them to bring...

    Would giving a broody hen guinea keets work?

    I have a couple broody hens right now that just won't give up. They are excellent mother's and have been good about taking literally any baby chick I stick under them in the past. I have been planning to give them actual chicks for weeks now but every week the feed store gets in breeds I'm not...

    My Broody Hen Is COVERED In Tiny Bugs?!?

    I have a broody hen I've had setting 8 eggs for 2 and a half weeks now. I check her every day but for some reason today after sticking my hand under her to check for babies, to my horror there were HUNDRED of itty bitty little bugs crawling all up my arm. I handle my other chickens pretty often...

    What breed are these blue hens?

    I purchased these hens as chicks from tractor supply several months ago. They were labeled as blue laced wyandottes. What makes no since is that there are multiple comb types among them. Are they actually different breeds and what are they for sure since I'm not believing the tag from when I...

    My broody's eggs vanished overnight?!? We are truly baffled..... Ideas?

    So, I have a large dog kennel, the hard plastic kind with air slots in the upper part of the sides and a metal gate with 1in squares. I always use it for broody hens so they can sit on there eggs in a safe place until they hatch and grow big enough to go back with the rest of t he flock...

    Built a new pen, now my hens are on strike? How long will this continue?

    About 2 weeks ago we built a pen and roost for our 2 cochin hens and there rooster to stay apart from our other chickens so we will have pure blood eggs to hatch. They settled in surprisingly fast and stopped pacing the fence and went to bed in the new roost within 2 days of being in there. But...

    What breed are these grey chickens? Purchased as 1 breed but think there may actually be 3 different breeds 😵

    I purchased these 6 pullets from tractor supply as "blue laced red wyndotes" but that is clearly not what they are. I am begining to think there are actually 3 seperate breeds because 5 are all the same color but have 2 different comb types and then there is the 6th odd ball who is much darker...

    What breed are the chickens? Are they really Wyndotes?

    I purchased these 4 as "Blue Laced Red Wyndote Pullets" but as there feathers have developed I've began to question if they actually are what they were said to be. What do ya'll think? Thanks

    How to tell OEGB chicks from Easter Egger bantam chicks

    I recently ordered Old English Game Bantams, Silkies & Easter egger bantams in the same batch. It's obviously which ones are silkies although 2 do appear to be frizzle and not silkies, but anyways, I assumed the EE's would have puffy cheeks, but none of them do so now I don't know how to tell...

    Is this "silkie" chick actually a "sizzle" chick?

    I recently ordered a batch of silkies from cackle hatchery. but, I've noticed two of the chicks have feathers that are very turned outward. They bear a striking resemblance to the frizzle chicks I raised last year which has me wondering if a couple of these "silkies" may actually be sizzles...

    What breed is this tiny little rooster?

    This itty bitty guy was from a batch of mixed bantams at tracker supply end of last summer. All along I've thought he is an old English game bantam, but here this last week or so he had begun to Cock-A-Doodle and has also began standing and strutting around in this very strange erect way like no...

    Older hen and maturing Cockerel will not stop bickering!

    I have a flock of about 40 chickens, big variety of different breeds from the tiniest bantams to and the biggest standards but all breeds generally considered friendly.

    Why are her pupils different?

    I have noticed on this hen that her pupils are very different, and they are always like this. But she acts as if she can see out of both eyes
