    3 wk old Jubilee Orpington hen or roo?

    Hello! I got this jubilee orpington (Jujube) on 7/22 along with a light brahma (Pickles) from the local feed store. They said all chicks were female but s/he is maturing significantly faster than Pickles and is very feisty. I know they're too young to tell but the leg thickness and confidence...

    Would a new silkie be safe in my flock?

    I have a small flock of 5 adult hens ranging from 1 -5 years old (1 BO, 3 EE, 1 maran). I'm looking into adding 3 to my flock this spring - a brahma, another buff and potentially a silkie. I was thinking if I raise the 3 newbies together that although they'd be larger, they'd accept the silkie...

    I currently rent a house and the homeowner has changed her mind about having chickens in the backyard (as she is getting ready to sell the home).

    Watery poop and gurgling breathing

    I was just delivered a 15 week old Easter Egger from dare2dream farms. Unfortunately they're closed on weekends but I need help identifying if my new chicken is sick.
