    Anyone seen this kind of leg issue in a chick?

    Hi all. I have a 3 day old chick that I'm assuming might be the first chick I even have to put down myself. But Im coming here in a last attempt at saving it. It was removed from the incubator with this injury, it was 1 of 2 that hatched out of 6 eggs. The other was born a bit messed up, but for...

    Broody went to wrong nesting box.

    Might be my fault, but I moved my broody over so that my other chickens would stop laying more eggs under her. She seemed fine with it, but maybe she was confused, cuz I noticed her on the wrong box today. I moved her to the other box, with the eggs in it, but they didnt feel super warm. How...

    Disease or just dirt and scratches?

    I anyways notice these marks on some of my chickens. I assume it's just small injuries or dirt at the time. But this time 2 of them have a similar round scab. Maybe I'm just looking to much into this.

    Cockerel hiding in coop all day, "vomiting" clearish liquid.

    Hi, I have a 4 month old cockerel who is usually the first to eat and very active. Today I noticed he had been hiding most of the day in the hen house on the roost bar. I thought he was getting beat up by the other cockerels or something. So eventually I let them out of their run to give them...

    Any ideas? My hen feels pregnant.

    I'm assuming there is nothing I can do, but I'm so curious. She was born around 8months ago and is laying eggs. I think she is laying cracked and healed eggs every day, but I havent confirmed it is her. She was born late and I thought she would die. These are my first chickens and I had no idea...

    What happened to my hen?! Fine until mating.

    So, I let my chickens "free range" for about 1 - 2 hours most evenings. Last evening my rooster was very, excited to be our of the run.... well he was servicing, or attempting to service all 5 of my hens. Most of the time they would succumb to his forcefulness, or run away sqawacking...

    Cream Legbars with peacombs

    Hi, I hatched what were supposedly "Cream" Legbars about 6 months ago. 3 of the 5 females have peacombs, and this breed is not supposed to have them. Are peacombs something that could even come up in pure legbars? Can I breed these and get chicks without peacombs? Is there a good site talking...

    My favorite hen is limping!

    I noticed this a few days ago, but it's probable that it's been going on at least a week or two and I didnt notice. I did scare my roo into flying and crashing into her about 2 weeks ago, and I thought she broke her neck or something, cuz she started running really weird, but then seemed to be...

    Mites or something?

    I feel like I have non stop issues. Does this look like mites? Something else? If it mites what can I do? They have been outside for maybe 3 weeks, and its a brand new coop with diatamaceous earth, clean, etc.

    Feed options are limited

    So Ive done tons of research and I am still having problems. Ive gone to 3 feed stores around my area, and all they carry is starter feed and laying feed. My flock is about 11 weeks old. I have 5 females and 1 male. I tried my hardest to find grower food and just seems impossible. One feed...

    Ready to move outside, will they be ok?

    Hey, I have some 5 1/2 week olds that are really ready to move to a bigger area. I dont have any other chickens yet, and everything Ive read talks about the coldest the chicks can survive in. Well I dont have that problem, it never snows here, and its never really below 45 even in the coldest...
