Help! New chick hatched today her legs don’t appear spraddled but she isn’t bearing much weight through them. I just bought her today after she came out of the incubator and her siblings while they are also clumsy seem to be holding their weight up. I tried the band aid trick but she flopped...
Why did I do this? I don’t know I just really like Dunkin’ and I love my chickens! I didn’t photograph everyone we got this spring or any of my adult chickens but it was a Thursday night and I was tired haha.

i have a hen who lays her head on my lap or across my other arm when I’m petting her. Her comb gets really pale when she does this. She always pops up when I call her name and when she goes back running around her comb gets its color back. Is this a sign of illness?
This Easter Egger is approximately 7.5 weeks old. Her color pattern is different than anything I’ve ever seen. Any advice on what she is? Cock or Pullet?
My go-to late night snack is usually a frozen waffle covered in butter.
Favorite but not always available late night snack is cold crawfish tails. I know they’re for the etouffe but they’re so good :drool
What are your go to and best ever late night snacks?
what do you use and how do you use it to clean the coop and the run after a coccidiosis outbreak? Do you wait until the Corid has finished before cleaning or do you clean before and after?
I have a 6 week old black sex link that suddenly became very lethargic and began walking around with eyes closed and laying down often with beak propped on ground. She rarely opens her eyes. No discharge, no chest rattling, no bloody poop, no fly strike, no pale comb, no obvious injury.
I have...
i bought two silkie chicks on may 16, hatched on May 12. One had spraddle leg. Which I noted after I get home. I immediately put a band aid hobble on. After a week the chick was looking better and even kicked off the hobble. I assumed this meant the little baby was ready to remove the hobble so...
this is Lloyd he is 7 weeks old from TSC bantam bin! He has a three row pea comb, beginning to turn red, with one large row in the middle and two smaller but still noticeable rows along the sides. I included a side profile pic for his coloring. His tail is beginning to show green iridescence. Is...
this is harry, our 4.5 week bantam Cochin. I think it’s a silver laced. Today I noticed some green iridescence on some of the wing feathers.
1. Is this a roo?
2. Is this actually a silver laced Cochin?
when we first got our chicks, I noticed one of the sultans began sneezing after about a week. Now several of the birds are sneezing. They are 4 weeks old. There is no nasal discharge or runny eyes. All birds are eating and drinking and moving about. They’re in a large dog cage with pine bedding...

i have a little silkie who hasn’t been keeping up with her litter mates in terms of growth. I decided to check her crop and it is huge. She’s so small I don’t want to hurt her. She has had 3 poops since I picked her up about ten minutes ago. What do I do???
my husband can build but doesn’t want to do anything complicated. We also want to control costs. If we buy prefab we will also be adding on a run. I don’t understand building plans so I have no way to id what’s easy or hard and what the estimated costs will be. I have bantams and standard...
