    Cream Legbar not growing/crop problems

    Advice please: I got two crested cream legbars from a breeder to keep a lone olive egger company until they were ready to join the big girls. One had a structural deformity and I think wry tail. She was not growing and is with a friend now who is working with her. The other is also not thriving...

    Getting close to day 18 with broody! Need advice!

    Hi everyone, My broody is giving me a run for it. She is so stubborn and won’t get off the nest unless I take her out once a day. She is barely eating even when out. Has clearly lost so much weight. A few questions - this is my first time with a broody. 1. I understand I should not move her...

    What to do with non viable eggs under broody?

    Just looking for opinions. We just candled eggs under our first broody and think 5/8 eggs look ok. Do I remove the three that are not good or just let it be? She is on day 10 and is a diehard broody. 😂. Thank you.

    Feather problems

    I have one Wyandotte in particular with a feather problem. I also have some Orpingtons with some frayed feathers. Some info: I have checked for mites and wiped down roost at night- I don’t see a thing. They eat new country organics layer feed and mealworms. They have access to oyster shells I...

    4 week Buff Sexing (Guessing ;)?

    Hi Everyone! New chicken mom here. We have three buffs in the mix that are all super-sweet like chicken-dogs :). Supposed to be a 90% chance they are hens but.... We can't keep roos in our town, so I am wondering how hard it is to tell with these guys. Any guesses? All the tails look the same...
