    Barnyard Mix -- Help Sexing Please!!

    Hi! I am conducting experiments to determine which eggs will hatch hens (no need to convince me I'm crazy to try, I've already heard it 😜) But I'm not the greatest at sexing pullets and cockerels. And until I have my own full flock of Beilefelders, or a source of auto-sex hatching eggs, I'll be...

    School Project Chickens

    I just got these three chickens from my niece, whose class hatched them from a farm. I'd love to know breeds/genders (at least a general idea) So far I'm thinking: Red Sex Link Pullet EE/Bielefelder cross Pullet Bielefelder Cockerel But maybe that's just wishful thinking? I've been wanting to...

    Pulp Egg Cartons Online?

    We used to buy 12 count pulp quail egg cartons on Amazon, but they are now unavailable. Where do you get yours? I've tried google searches and only found the plastic clamshells or distributors that sell by the tens of thousands. I even found an old BYC post from 2011 but their suggestions were...

    One Eye Closed?

    Last year I had a BuffO who kept one eye shut, and after some eye drops was fine. So this year when I had another But to do the same thing, I didn't worry. But... Now it's been about a week of One-Eyed Matilda with no improvement. It doesn't look swollen. She still blinks her under-eyelid when...

    EE Sussex cross... Is Skipper a Roo?

    Today I noticed a few slightly curly tailfeathers on this birdy. Roo? I'm not so great at telling with the EEs. Matter of fact I went out a few weeks ago and specifically bought a cockerel when our big old Sussex died because I thought all my chicks were pullets.

    What's wrong with this Buff Orphington chick from IFA?

    We first got this batch of chicks to be friends with the two chicks we managed to hatch. Matilda, this Buff Orphington, seemed fine then. But perhaps I didn't notice if something was wrong because at the time we had two other chicks that were not doing well at all. Since we had to say goodbye...

    Crawling Hen and Backwards Toes

    I have two different questions. Both pertain to Cotorunix quail we recently purchased for cheap to start this new hobby. 1. One adult hen shuffles along on her knees. She has enormous callouses on them due to it. We've had her separated ever since we noticed but I'm sure it was a pre-existing...

    When to mix? (juveniles and littles)

    We bought chicks from IFA this year and they are now about 6-7 weeks old (5 chicks). I've put them outside in our coop and they're doing just dandy. My niece volunteered me to take the chicks that her school class hatched, and they are now about 3 weeks old (3 chicks). I've never had two broods...

    Hurt Chick? HELP PLEASE

    I just got some chicks. One is a dark Brahma. He is constantly distress chirping, but quiets if we hold him and pet his head. He drinks and eats but much less than the others. He has pasty butt but I have been cleaning it. He is constantly rubbing up to the other chicks for comfort but now that...
