A few things have happened since I've been gone, my flock is doing well but i had two losses a few a few months ago. Two of Raven's chicks from February, Little and Sunflower, my two roosters, passed suddenly. I went out to the coop to find Sunflower dead and Little close to dead. There was no...

To me it looks like there is a bullseye but it doesn't really show up on camera. My polish roosters are almost 3 months so I think that they are too young.

I was washing one of my silkies and noticed her feet look like this. what do I do?

These aren't my chickens, the first is my friend's and the other is my aunt's I'm wandering about the one in the back left.

I have wondered since the day I got him wether he was polish or not. He was the only one in the bin that wasn't the same color as other polish chicks so I assumed that he was a buff polish, but he had little green legs! Now that they are more grown, I am doubtful that he could still be a polish.

My three polish chicks are almost 6 weeks old and one already has red wattles so I am assuming that it is a rooster, but my other blue one I am not sure about. It has a much smaller comb area than the other one. The chick with the red wattles is also lighter than the other chick. Is the darker...

My chicks are 4 weeks old and they will eat meal worms and feed out of my hands and run up to me when I open the door to the coop, but when I reach out to grab them they scatter! How can I get them to where I can hold them without having to freak them out?

I was outside feeding my chicks mealworms and hold them and then went inside to refill their food. When I came back Little's comb had gotten all red and pink! They are only three weeks and Little was the one chick that I thought was a pullet. What is going on? (I don't feel like the picture...

I got my first chickens last summer in June and they were silkies, now I have three polish chicks since one of my hens went broody. Now multiple people on craigslist are selling SILKIE CHICKS!!! I have room in my coop for about two more, but my dad says NO! Believe me, if I was old enough to...

Marshmallow has finally laid her first egg since being broody and it was completely white! Before she went broody she laid light cream colored eggs, but this one was all white. Is this because she is just getting back into egg laying? It is next to Marshmallow's sister's egg that she laid today.

I have three silkie hens and three polish chicks right now and I believe that i have two cockerels and one pullet. I was wandering if I kept the rooster and hatched out some of the polish x silkie cross eggs if the chicks would be sex linked with dark or light skin?

I know one of my chicks if a buff polish, but for the other two I don't know. I think they are white crested blue, but it almost looks like they are barred.

My polish chicks are a week old and I wanted to know when I can tell males from females. I read that you could tell from the shape of the crest, but I don't know I that is accurate. I am really hoping that my buff one is a hen.

Here are some pictures of Raven and her three polish chicks! She has had them for a week and she is a great mother. I just love it when I see their little heads sticking out of Raven's wings. Does anyone have a hen raising chicks right now? Feel free to post pictures of your broody hen and her...

My chick, sunflower has a swollen butt and feathers are missing around her butt. I cleaned her butt yesterday, but now it looks worse!!! I'm sorry the picture is blurry but I am so worried. PLEASE HELP

I have been having a lot of questions regarding my broody hen and her polish chicks recently, because for some reason they seem a lot more stressful than my silkie chicks, and instead of making 50 different threads a week I am just going to make this thread. My current question is, when will my...

One of my chicks has been getting pecked in the butt by one of it's siblings. I just watched the chick get dragged of my hens back by its butt.

Raven has had her chicks for about two day now and this morning she pooped in one of the nest boxes. She moved her chicks to the other nest box, but I still want to know if I should take her out with the chicks into the run.

Tonight we are going to get two or three chicks from TSC and we are going to give them to my broody, but I have a few questions... Do I have to put them under her from behind? Will she make sure that the chicks eat and drink? I have food and water in the nest box with them. When will she take...

I just felt like sharing some pictures of my chickens that I have taken over the past couple of weeks.
