So I have a bantam Cochin who is limping. I’ve checked her feet and I’m thinking she might possibly have bumblefoot (pictures below) on her right foot. The crazy thing is yesterday morning she was favoring the other foot big time but that one seems fine. Like she is barely putting any weight on...
Help! One of my chickens was attacked by a falcon this afternoon. I’ve cleaned her wounds, mostly just scratches but there are a couple spots I’m concerned about. Right at the point where the wing come ya to the body and a puncture just in front of the wing. I’ve flushed with saline and applied...
I've been pretty confident that our little Penny is a pullet but I just want to make sure I’m thinking correctly lol. She is 17 weeks now and since she is my first and only RIR I have nothing to compare to. I feel like she is much redder today than she normally is...perhaps getting ready to lay?
I noticed today that my bantam frizzle Cochin has thinning in her flight feathers. I checked her out good and don’t see any parasites. Do I need to be concerned about this? She is 21 weeks and just started laying a week ago (6 eggs in 8 days!), she it the first one to lay in the flock, I don’t...
I have three 18 week pullets, and two 9 week chicks I’ve had in the process of introductions for a week and a half now. They are getting along well enough in my enclosed garden with minimal pecking or chasing now. I’ve tried a couple times to put them into the run/coop together but the older...
This is little Hay Hay. Ive posted a couple times about her and have gotten mixed thoughts, early on people thought roo then pullet. So here she is again lol I’m hoping she is just a fast maturing hen, that was someone’s thought previously. For the last few days she was VERY talkative and loud...
We just got some new babies on Friday! So cute and fluffy, I almost forgot how little they start out and it’s only been 10 weeks since we got or first batch.
Anyway...this is Penny (a dark RIR) and Twilight (a SL Cochin)
In a few weeks when I move them out to the coop with the others what is...
These little ladies are approx 7 weeks, or very close to it....I’m hoping they are both pullets! Bantam Cochins, the smooth is Ella and the Frizzle is Hay Hay. There have been no changes in comb or wattle size/color the last 2-3 weeks
hello everyone!
I’m a new chicken owner, a project my about to be 6yr old twin daughters and I are taking on together. We already have 3 large dogs and some fish so we figured chickens would be fun too!
We have 4 chicks, about 5-6 weeks old. We got them when they were a couple days to a week...
Hi! So I’m new to this whole chicken thing and I’m just trying to make sure they are pullets (I’m a little unsure about 2 of them)
They are approx 4-5 weeks old (so I know it’s a little early). 2 bantam frizzle Cochins and 2 supposedly Ameraucana.
In order:
Hay Hay
Ella
Nala
Amelia
The first...
