    Picking eggs to hatch

    Hi, Looking for advice on picking which eggs to incubate. I've got two hens whose eggs I'd incubate based on color and temperament. The issue is one of the two didn't lay her first egg until she was almost a year old. If I incubate her eggs, will her potential daughters also be likely to be...

    Easter egger sexing

    Hi, I've got a three week old easter egger I'm hoping is a pullet. So far all feather patterns have suggested it. Tail feathers grew in quickly and the wings have the two step pattern and reach the end of the body. I also recently saw something that says there's certain EE color patterns that...

    Breed?

    Maybe too young to tell, but wondering what breed this 3-4 week chick I just got is. It was supposed to be a Golden Laced Wyandotte, but that seems to be the wrong kind of comb. Also kinda a huge comb for what was supposed to be a pullets.

    Weird Noise?

    One of my chickens makes this super weird noise where she kinda bawks while grooming and it comes out funny. I don't think there's anything wrong with her health-wise.

    Fighting or illness?

    Hi, One of my hens has really ratty tail feathers. Don't see anything like it on any of the others. Could this be from getting picked on or something else? She doesn't have any other issues- eats fine and is active. She isn't always the brightest bulb in the flock though. Is she just clumsy or...

    Missing feathers

    Hi, I've heard a rooster can pick a "favorite" hen and that hen can get overly picked on. Noticed this bald patch on one of my girls. Is this a chicken saddle problem? Sorry for the blurry quality. She didn't want to sit still and pose for the pic. Thanks! Athena

    Sexing 2 mo old Marans

    Hi! Wondering if I could have help determining if one of my girls could actually be a boy. The comb and wattles are much more developed than my other two Marans. Also noticably the largest and boldest of the six I have. This was the first one to start hopping up on me and exploring the new coop...
