I hatched out my button quail 16 weeks ago and they have still not laid any eggs yet. I only have a couple males and the rest are females. I keep them on the highest all flock protein feed I can find at the store. Nights have gotten cooler and I have had to put a lamp on them as well during the...
when I went to feed this morning I found my young pet rooster acting like he was going to throw up. His comb is turning a little purple and he doesnt look good. Any suggestions??
hey all! I'm usually pretty good at determining the sex of birds but I'm stumped as this breed is new to me. Im thinking I have three cocks and one pullet. The three have bright red combs and the suspected pullet has a light colored comb. Can someone confirm my suspisions??

Hello all, I'm not new to chickens but was curious if my hen is something other than an easter egger. I got her from a rk or tsc bantam bin a year ago. Shes the absolute sweetest little hen and decided to go broody until my Tom broke the nesting box and dropped her eggs 😒 she has the muffs and...
Needing help. My aunt sent me this photo this morning. I sold her 3 silkie hens and a rooster a few weeks ago and all were extremely healthy when sold. Should I treat with corrid??
Hello, I need a little help identifying the breed of this cockerel. He stands taller than any of my other birds and he has went through a major molt. He is a sweet boy to my smaller chicks and takes care of them but he is an EXTREMELY scared/flighty bird. We got him from either tsc or rk but no...
Curious to know if this sweet baby is a pullet or cockerel. I'm leaning towards cockerel since its bigger than the other I hatched and its comb is larger as well. Anyone else have a guess? I'm new to this breed.
Hello! We bought this sweet girl a while back out of a bantam breed from rural king. I'm very curious to know her breed. Shes extremely sweet and docile, not really flighty. This past week she has formed the little "muffs/beard" on her face which makes her so much cuter. Any insight would be...
Hello! I bought six chicks last night out of an assorted bantam breed hoping that I'd at least get a silkie! We went by legs and the fluff on their heads. Could someone help me on what breeds these little babies are? I am so in love with them already!
Hello! We are raising these Sapphire Gems and were told we got all pullets. We then ordered a cockerel (white beak and yellow legs) Well anyway, today I let them out to free range a little while I supervised and the one in the back that is circled as well started trying to fly at and chest bump...
Hello! Could someone help me identify this chicks breed? I named her Cali but honestly don't know if it's a pullet or cockerel yet. Any help would be very appreciated!
I'm curious to know this chicks breed. It's a very sweet and docile chick and more calm than my others. She has a gray/green tint to her legs but my camera won't capture it well.
Hello! I was wondering if someone could help me on figuring out what breeds these three chicks are. I tried to get good pictures of wings, combs, and legs.
Can someone give me advice on the best way to take care of my poor Tyson? He was attacked my a dog today and his neck is completely skinned and so is his tail area. My husband tracked the feathers and found him upside down on the dirt road. Hes breathing calmly now and keeps trying to crow but...
I'm pretty sure shes a hen but her behavior the past week has really got me questioning myself. I have two speckles in with a little roo and have not had any problems at all until I was given a barred rock roo about a week ago. I have two coops and let each out during the day but not all...
Hello again, I am very curious to know if the Speckled Sussex Roo is indeed the breed I was told he is when I bought him. He is a small, extremely sweet boy so even if he is not, I plan to keep him. Also, would my Plymouth Rock Roo be worth breeding to my PR hens? I was thinking about entering...
