    Egg hatching late

    I’m so confused here. So I started with 4 eggs.. down to 1 now that’s still good. I set the Eggs on the evening of July 1st. It’s July 24th so this last egg is on its day 23. I thought it was a goner so I picked it up for a candle just to make sure and it was moving in the egg. I wanted to...

    Odd growth on pullet neck

    Hey y’all. I have a 4 week old buff Orpington here with a strange looking neck. Hoping somebody might know what this is. See pic. She’s eating great and doesn’t have any other symptoms. Could an injury possibly look like this?

    Suddenly no more eggs

    I have a silver laced Wyandotte that is about 6-7 months old. She recently started laying eggs! She laid an egg every single day religiously for about 2 weeks and then just like that... nothing!!! It’s been about 10 days since her last egg. She is contained in a nice run so I know she’s not...

    Some guesses on breeds?

    Hi y’all! Can anybody give me some possibilities as what kind of breeds these Bantam chicks might be? The girl at Tractor supply had no idea! If it helps- the two lighter ones have feathers on their feet, black one does not. Thanks a bunch!

    Keeping them cool

    I have a couple of young pullets and these days we are having 100+ temperatures. I’m looking for some tips to help them keep cool. They are usually panting with their mouthes open by noon and will do that until evening. Poor things! :( they do have access to shade and they will stay in the...

    Double yolks

    One of my chickens (I’m assuming it’s the same one) keeps making double yolk eggs, and it kind of creeps me out. I broke one open for breakfast and there were 2 perfect yolks and I ended up not using that egg. Is it ok to eat those?

    Picky eaters

    So I have 26 week old buff Orpington who just started laying about 2 weeks ago. They are happy chickens overall but I am worried about their nutrition. Last week I decided to buy a huge bag of chicken scratch feed from the store. Gave them a little and they went crazy for it. Well the problem...

    Egg on the way??

    Guys!! I think we are about to get our first egg ever! One of my 23 week-old buff Orpington is inside the coop right now, apart from the rest of the flock. She is scratching inside the coop at the floor and trying to rearrange things in there. This is unusual because they are always together...

    Is this a rooster?

    hey everyone! I have 4x Buff Oripingtons that I got all at the same time and age, yet only one of them has the red waddle stuff. The other 3 hardly have any waddle but this one chicken in particular has it. I’ll post pictures for comparison. I realize that hens also have weddles like this...

    Question about water!

    Hi! I have a question about whether I should keep water inside the coop at night. My chickens are about 9 weeks old now. When it gets dark, they go in the coop and will not come out until daylight in the morning. I’ve noticed that they won’t come out of the coop if it’s dark outside... but...

    Is that a bruise...?

    Hey everyone! I have 4 buff orpingtons (6 weeks old), all are the same age. The other day I noticed that one them has a dark bruise going across her beak. The others don’t have this at all. Do you think she got injured somehow? Attaching a pic. I think she acts normal, she is out and about...
