I have a hen that was light tan color and hatched out 11 black chicks (probably barred rock mix) the hen now 8 weeks after hatching them out is changing color. Her feathers are slowly changing to dark brown and black. Any idea why?
Good morning. Our County Fair currently uses the zip tie type numbered tags for fair, however, they numbers wear off pretty fast and you can tell what it is by the time fair comes. Do any of you know of any tags that are easy to put on, can't be switched from bird to bird and the numbers stay...
I have one hen that lays in a specific spot outside of the coop. Every morning when I let them out she runs to her spot and acts like she’s laying an egg, but there’s never an egg. Any ideas why? She’s 3 and been doing this for about four weeks.
The attached picture is on my two-year-old turkey. Since it's cold right now we've been lifting her into the roosting area with the chickens at night. I was gone for a week. It wasn't there when I left and was there when I returned. I noticed it when I lifted her up. It is hard and if you...

My Buff Orpington hen just started doing this. She does it several times then stops. She seems fine otherwise. Is it respiratory or gape worm?? Or something else?
Hopefully I'm posting the video correctly.
We have a hen that has been broody for about a week. We are leaving her be and she is sitting on 3 or 4 eggs. Some are hers and some aren't I believe. This morning was the first time I saw her get off the nest to drink (I'm sure she has before I just haven't seen it). She's walking very...
Hello. My bantam rooster has been limping for 4 days now. He is 7 months old. I don't see any sign of injury or bumblefoot. The "injured" leg is much warmer than the other leg. He and a couple of others might have a slight case of scaley leg mites. I started treating the whole coop for...
I feel like these two changed overnight :(. Are they both boys? The sussex also has wattles growing but he's hard to get pictures of he hates being held and is hard to catch. The d'uccle is super sweet, but this comb just popped up overnight. We have another d'uccle with no comb, but I feel...
