I don’t know what is wrong with my hen. I don’t even know what to search to find out what could be wrong. Her chest was squishy at first but now it’s super swollen she’s acting normal other than she has not laid an eggs in several weeks and the swollen chest and missing feathers where her chest...
Hi! My black copper maran finally started laying today! What would you all grade the color? I know there is a scale that i had saved before but i can’t find it now.
My hens are just starting to lay(i have 5) and they keep kicking all of the bedding out of the egg boxes. How do i prevent this. Because of this the first egg i found was broken in the box because there was absolutely no bedding.
It’s hard to get a photo but her leg is turned outwards all of a sudden today. She is 8 weeks old and we just integrated her and 6 others with out two 12 week hens. I don’t know what to do but she is having trouble. Do you think it’s broken? What can i do?
I’m so torn on this Easter egger it is almost 12 weeks old and I’m still not sure if it’s a rooster or hen. I’m leaning towards rooster but want to make sure. I have someone coming to take the roosters today and want to be sure.

How can i be sure my thermometer is correct? I have the Janoel 12 incubator and it is set to 37.5 but my thermometer is reading 35.8c and 73 percent humidity. I am on day 20 for my chicken eggs and none of them have piped let alone been moving. I am afraid to adjust my bator.
Hi! My chicks are 3 weeks old and running out of room in our brooder. Is it too young to switch them to the coop? It isn’t getting below 50 degrees Fahrenheit here.
Probably too early to tell but was wondering what you all thought about my chicks genders they are 16 and 17 days old. And I’m curious about what color my 2 Easter Eggers will end up.
I have 6 baby chicks that hatched 14 days ago. One is having an issue with its foot that I’m curious as to what i can do and the other is suddenly having its head laying to the side when it walks and everything. What is going on? Should i worry about the other chicks?
Hi! New here from Kansas City, MO. I have one bantam Easter Egger, Chicken Little she is almost 6 years old! We had 4 other chickens from when we got her as a chick but they have all since passed but she is still kicking and laying eggs like a champ! I figure she’s probably lonely so i got an...
Hi everyone! This is my second hatch ever and I’m so excited! I have 4 French Black Copper Marans, 3 Bielefelders, and 3 Lakenvelders. I still can’t really tell if anything is going on in the black copper Marans yet. But crossing my fingers. I am on day 6.
Hi! These were some chickens we got as chicks 5 years ago both we had to get rid of because they were roosters. What breed are they? We loved them and i would love more like them. Thanks in advance!
