    Gold laced wyandotte 14 weeks

    Hi! I thought I was in the clear but now Figs tail feathers have me very concerned. Do I have a roo? They're about 14 weeks. Thank you for any and all input- I'm brand new to this breed.

    Blood in poo? Or intestinal lining shedding?

    Hi! I have six 8-week-old chicks that are still sleeping in the nest box and a big pile (I also have two three and 5-year-old hens that roost and I think they're still too scared to join right now). I have been finding one or two poops each morning in the nest bedding such as one pictured. All...

    Wyandottes/marans

    Hello! So I have supposedly 5 week old Gold laced wyandottes. Worried about roos vs hens And also wondering if they are actually that breed? The most gold laced one (last two pics) not only looks and seems younger but also was sold as a copper maran which I'm not believing 🙃... Any...

    Weird egg- never seen before?! (Not lash that I can see)

    Hello! My girl's been offer game recently and hasn't laid in quite a few weeks. I found a weird shell in the coop run yesterday... And today this. This is the first time she's laid an actual egg in probably 2 months. The attached stuff is kind of squishy. Anyone seen this? Acting eating and...

    Baby chick butt concern

    Hello! I have raised chicks before but not encounted this problem. I have two chicks whose butts look like this- it's not necessarily pasty butt but it's not looking correct either. They pick at them a lot... Any advice? They are on medicated chickstarter and I might start wetting it...

    Possibly water belly?

    Hello, I have a four year old leghorn named Skittles (she's the sweetest). About a 2 months ago, she stopped laying out if the blue, but was perfectly healthy so I paid no mind...tbh her eggs were always a bit oddly shapen. A month ago she looked like the picture attached - her comb was always...

    Pullet who stopped using one leg

    Hello, I have a young Austrolope pullet who seemingly out of nowhere, got a limp. It progressed to her barely able to stand, and she certainly won't put any weight on it or walk. She hops along fine and eats and drinks, but I saved her from a hawk the other day to to what I assume was her...

    Big hen picking on bantam

    I have five hens who have been together for a year with no issues. One ISA brown, two leghorns and two Japanese bantams. Recently, I noticed one of the leghorns establishing a pecking order it seemed and was packing on one of the bantams. The phantom would just duck and run away but nothing...

    Hen no longer roosting?

    Hello, I have a 9 month old ISA brown who recently stopped roosting with her flock mates. She still lays daily, is perfectly healthy, jumps/flies to to equidistant perches as the roosting bars daily, and seemingly gets along/cuddles with others. She is eating and drinking fine. She shares her...

    Dirty butts and dirty eggs

    Hello! I have two leghorns that no matter what I seem to do, have dirty butts. One is worse than the other, and the eggs they lay get dirty as well. The other three hens are totally fine. Any natural remedy or food I can give to prevent dirty butts? They arent sick; just a bit dirty. Thanks!

    Weird bump on chickens ear?

    Hello! I have a little 9 month old Japanese bantam. I believe she's going through molting right now. I just discovered this on her ear. I have no idea what it is.. doesn't seem to be bothering her and when I touch it she doesn't really freak out. Any ideas? I was going to put something on it...

    Temperature of coop vs outside

    I have five chickens in my coop (2 bantams 2 leghorns and 1 ISA brown). I have a thermometer in there, but I see that it's usually the same temperature inside as outside more recently as it gets cold (was not this way in warmer months it was cooler). Is this ok? I have a few 1.5-2.5 cut outs for...

    Chicken stopped laying and not as friendly?

    Hello, I have a 5-month-old Japanese bantam who was laying one egg a day consistently. We had a couple encounters with a hawk recently in our yard. At one point the hawk almost got her, but luckily she saw it in time and got to safety. After that she was still laying consistently- even refusing...

    10.5 week old-hen or roo?

    Hi all! I've got a puzzle... By most standards this would be a roo, but he or she has not done any crowing nor displayed any other rooster behaviors (other than maybe some different clucking sounds then the others? But not sure if that's a thing for roosters). Please see attached. The question...

    Trying to create a flock between different ages

    Hello! I have three 6.5 week old Japanese bantams and three 3.5 week old leghorns. I am trying to put them all in the coop when the leghorns are ready, so that they all get along and go into a new environment same time. It helps that right now, the bantams are about the same size as the...

    6.5 week old Japanese bantam

    Hi all! I recently had five Japanese bantams, two of which were definitely roosters (larger bright red combs and crowing), and have gone on to find new homes and are doing well. However, I am now worried that one of my girls is turning rooster on me (or perhaps always was). Her comb is getting...

    Jap. Bantam 6.5 weeks

    Hi all! Thanks in advance for anyone's help with this. I had five Japanese bantam babies, two of which were roosters (large combs and crowing). I now have one that I'm starting to second guess if she's turning rooster. Would I know by now? She's definitely head hen; I've recently started...

    Integrating 5 wk old bantams with "regular" sized- all chicks

    Hi! I have 5 5.5 week old Japanese bantam babes that have a very established pecking order. Unfortunately, two of them are going to go to another family, as they are roosters. So, very soon I will have three 6 wk old bantam pullets and three 3 week old "regular sized" chicks. The regular sized...

    5 week old Jap. Bantams

    Hello! I have two Japanese bantams that are five weeks old that I'm concerned are roosters. The first picture is of one I know is a rooster, as he has tried to defend the flock against my dog once and crowed several times. If he is the alpha rooster, with the other ones that are possibly...

    Smelly 5 week old chick/rooster

    I have a five week old japanese bantam that is most likely a rooster. I can post pics, but as of a week ago I noticed that he is very smelly compared to my other five chicks. Sweet/sour almost like the smell they poop after eating eggs. I have had them outside and they have had grass (which I...
