    Chicks not accepting broody hen. Heartbroken chook :(

    Hi guys, hoping to have a fairly simple question answered but I'll provide the backstory anyway. Skip to the end if you like. My endlessly broody wyandotte has proven to be a good mum in the past, hatching out a few eggs. She's broody all the time and I have real trouble breaking her, she loses...

    New Puppy and Chooks- please help!

    Hello brains trust! Hoping you can lend me some advice. We have always had dogs first and foremost, and since the death of our gorgeous doggo 2 years ago I somehow gained 2, then 4, then 6 chooks (omg how did that happen?). I am not sure if this is the correct forum, but I wanted to ask for...

    Silkie 🐥

    Hello all! 👋 I intended on posting some pics of my blue laced gold Wyandotte chick, but had to give up before one of us had a heart attack. Turns out that chick is fast, and a lot smarter than me lol 😂 This little darling on the other hand is not much of an escape artist, and turned out to...

    It's true, I hate my chick :(

    I'm raising 3 chicks, two wyandottes and a wellsummer, they're all about 6 weeks right now. I've spent HEAPS of time with them, nearly an hour or more most days for 5 weeks straight.

    Wyandotte Sexing Theory

    Wattles or Waddles? What do YOU say?

    Hi! I am new to both chickens in general and the BackYard Chicken site! One thing I have noticed is that a vast number of users seem to refer to the fleshy chicken chin flaps as 'waddles' when I was sure they were 'wattles'. Are they called different things in different areas? Is this a debate...

    Sussex? What breed is my chook?

    She's about 5 months old, would love to hear some suggestions as to what breed(s) she might be! Thanks in advance! (these images make her seem a bit more red that she is in person)

    Please Help! Wyandotte Chick Sexing

    I have a pair of gold and silver laced wyandottes which are around 4 weeks old! I've been wanting to make this post for a while, but I know wyandottes are notoriously difficult to sex early so I made myself be patient. I think the consensus will be that it's still too early to tell, which is why...
