    Does anyone know what’s going on?

    She keeps making a sneezing almost like choking noise every min or so. She has 7 babies that are almost 2 weeks old so we can’t loose her. I tried to post a video, but it would let me. I’m in Texas and it was very hot yesterday and will be today as well. I can try and catch her and bring her and...

    When will babies join the flock?

    We had a broody hen and gave her 4 babies. She did great and they thrived. They are now about 6 weeks old and she has cut them loose. She has joined the flock again, but the babies hang out by themselves. All the chickens free range in our backyard and the babies usually hang out by the fence...

    Is my pullet broody?

    We have an austra white pullet that is about 6 months old. She started laying about 2 months ago and has been a pretty constant layer (5-6 eggs a week) since then. Several days ago she wouldn't leave the nesting box and she hasn't laid an egg in 2 or 3 days now. I have been taking her off the...

    What breed am I?

    We got this pullett last fall from Meyer’s Hatchery as a part of the rainbow pack. I have never been able to figure out her breed. She has scattered black spots on her back and bottom of her tail. She was all yellow with one black spot on her back when she was a baby. She lays very light, almost...

    First Blue Egg

    We got our 1st blue egg this morning! We are so excited! We have an Easter Egger & a Crested Cream Legbar and one I think is a Lakeshore Egger, so it could have been any of them.

    First Eggs

    We found our 1st eggs today. We have 3 pullets that are 22 weeks old tomorrow. Today we found 4 very small eggs in the nesting boxes. They are all similar in size and color. Is it more likely that they are all from the same chicken or is it possible that all 3 hens started laying on the same...

    6 rainbow pullets sitting on a perch

    My 6 "baby" chicks. They are 9 weeks old now. We got the "rainbow assortment" from Meyer's Hatchery. Their names are Wilma, Hazel, Bunny, Ruby, Cleo & Matilda. We're still not 100% sure what breeds Wilma & Cleo are. Wilma has black spots on her back and wings. They just recently moved outside to...

    Integrating 2 groups of chickens

    Our original flock is 5 chickens, 2 cockerels & 3 pullets, they are 15 weeks old. We figured that wasn't a good ratio for the girls, so we ordered 6 more pullets. They are 7 weeks old. After about a week of being in adjoining runs, they could see & hear each other, but not get to each other...

    What breads are we?

    I ordered the rainbow pack from Meyer’s hatchery. I have figured out a few, but can’t figure these out. They are about 3 weeks old now. I have no idea about this one. I think this one might be an EE. She has little puffs on her cheeks. This one has one black spot right in the middle of her...

    3 pullets & 2 cockerels?

    We have 5 chickens that are just over 9 weeks old. I know the 2 are roos & I'm pretty sure the other 3 are hens. I just wanted to be sure. I also know they are mixed breeds, if you could give me an idea of what breeds they might be. All but one have feathers on their feet. Their names are...

    Are these both Easter Egger chicks?

    We got 6 baby chicks on Wednesday and they were part of the rainbow pack. I have 4 of them pretty well figured out, but I can't figure out 2. They are both chipmunk patterned, but one is much lighter than the other. I think they might both be easter eggers. The 2nd one has some cheek puffs...

    Hello from Texas

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I grew up with chickens my whole childhood. 3 years ago my family moved out to the "country" with 5 acres and we always wanted chickens. We finally took the plunge. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? 5 chickens (2...
