I apologize in advance for the graphic picture.
This is the second time in a month I've woken up to a dead chicken inside the coop. The neck appears to be ripped open and maybe eaten. Loose feathers laying around the neck area. The head is still attached and I don't see any other wounds or...
I need help identifying the gender of The light brahma(?) In the front of the pictures. I'm thinking cockerel 😩 but hoping for pullet 😅 Bought about 3.5 months ago as day old assorted bantam. Thanks!
Hi there! I bought these Bantams from a mixed bin and was just looking to get help identifying breed and gender. They're about 5 weeks old now. Thanks!
So I've hatched out a few batches of Coturnix Quail, I have varying ages now- all at least 7 weeks old up to 20 weeks old. Some are from other breeders, and the last batch was from eggs of my own. For my first hatch, at about 7-8 weeks I was able to vent sex using the foam that males produce...
Hello! I have two chickens, about 16 weeks old now and I've just noticed weird growths on the top of their beaks. Both different breeds from the same hatchery. Any ideas what this is? Thanks!

I candled on day 14 and...

I've been eyeing the speckled eggers from Cackle Hatchery https://www.cacklehatchery.com/speckled-eggertm-chicken.html but they're sold out this year. Other than that I've also liked the look of the Heritage Welsummer from Alchemist Farm...
I have four backyard Easter Egger hens that are now just under a year old (hatched last April). No roosters. I just noticed this week that two of the hens are missing some feathers on the underside of their neck, just under their head. And one chicken is missing a large patch of feathers...
