Hi there,
I've got 2 BCM and 2 double silver laced barnies who I think I know the sex of, but I'm struggling with the Ameraucanas, maybe too early? I always say I'm not going to guess and just wait, but here I am guessing 🤣 I did a collage of each breed. They are all 4 weeks old. The...
Hi all,
I have a bit of a weird situation and could use a little help or reassurance. I'm having one of those times where I'm feeling defeated and like I'm failing my chickens. It started about 3 weeks ago when I found one of my hens (2 yo Barnevelder) laying in the coop with some abdominal...
Hi there,
I unfortunately hatched 4 silkie roosters recently. They're all quite nice and handsome and I can't figure out which to let go (planning on rehoming hopefully). How do you decide? I am planning on retaining 2 roosters for breeding. I currently have white, splash, paint, and black hens...
Hi all,
I am wrestling with whether or not to cut these bumblefoot feet and bandage? I have recently cut their highest perch down and replaced the substrate in their pens to make it softer. The Barnevelder feet I have already cut and bandaged but have come back. No one really has painful...
Two of my chickens in one coop, another from a different coop, and a duck, who also lives separately all have bumblefoot! All of it started after we built them large, amazing runs outside. At first I thought it was perches, so I switched them but after all of my birds got them shortly after...
Hi there,
I've got 8 baby silkies (about 1 week old) and I'm wondering if anyone can help me out with colours! I'm thinking blue, 1 paint, but I'm not sure what some of the others are?
Thanks!

Hi! Just wondering if these air sacs look about right for day 14? First pencil line was day 11 and humidity has been very hard to control and was a bit high early on so just a bit worried.
Hi all!
Apologies for the lengthy post but wanted to provide lots of detail in the hopes that someone might be able to help me!! My husband and I have a mixed flock of 7 chickens. I have 6 laying hens and a roo. We were living in Texas and because of the mixed flock, after a lot of research on...
Hi there,
My husband and I recently moved back to Canada and acquired a cute little Indian Runner duck (she was going to be euthanized and given to us). She's got some friends coming along in May. I am struggling to find duck feed for her. The feed store said she can be given Purina Gold N...
Hi all!
I was hoping for help sexing my almost 7 week old Double Silver Laced Barnie and Lavender Maran. I think the Barnie is a cockerel and the Maran is a pullet but want to be sure. (Plus I have Seramas, a cockerel and pullet, which I just included because they're so darn cute!) Any help...
