    Is this Molting?!

    Hey guys! I went into my coop yesterday and one of my hen’s feathers are all over the coop! She has patches of feathers missing on her neck, back, both wings, and her tail.

    Unexpected death! Help!!

    One of my chickens unexpectedly died today. We’re worried for the rest of the flock and would like to know why she died. She’s a buff orphington. I’m assuming we’re going to have to find a place to perform a necropsy. What do I need to do with her body in the mean time since it’s night and I...

    What Gender are These?

    Hey guys, I got four chickens yesterday at this somewhat sketchy place, but anyway, the man we bought them from told us they were pullets, which is what we wanted. We were expecting them to be much older so we would KNOW that they were girls, but they're way younger than we expected. Could you...

    Solved What do these mean? "Chilling' with my peeps" "Flock master" "Out of the brooder"

    Hey guys! Can someone please reply telling me what these mean? I've seen a few that don't really have to do with chickens too. I assumed they were labels hat the website puts on users depending on how active/new/what/etc. they are. I'm not sure if I'm correct though. If that's true, then what...

    Humidity in Incubator?

    Hello! I brought an egg in from my coop and put it in my Brinsea Mini Advanced because the mama hen stopped sitting on it.

    Hello! A little over a week ago (I'm not 100% sure if it was just a week it may have been 1-2) my white silkie hen, started sitting on one egg.

    So I've looked up so many pictures on African and Chinese geese trying to find the difference. Is there a physical difference between the two? What is it? How can I tell the two apart?

    Am I Hurting my Chicken?

    Hello fellow chicken enthusiasts!! I was trying to see a certain feather under one of my Maran hen's wings so I picked her up and I tried extending her wing out by pulling it out.

    Do Guinea Fowls like people?

    Hello! I've recently been interested in getting guinea fowls to add to my brood. I was wondering though...Do guinea fowls get along with people like chickens do?
