    The Chicken Sex Challenge!

    My babies are all about 7 weeks old except the Polish who is about 9 weeks. I am in love with all of them! Can anyone guess which are pullets/cockerels? No luck getting them to crow and no spurs, just the little bumps. There are 5 total: 2 BLRW, 1 Orpington, 1 Frizzled Polish, 1 Ayam Cemani. 😍

This morning she has what looks like either a scabby navel or crusted poo below her vent- the vent itself is clear. Should I clean her up or leave it to dry and fall off on its...

    First timer- listless 2 day old chick

    Hi all! Long time lurker, but yesterday I finally got my first chicks! All are happy and alert and warm in their brooder, but today I noticed one (my favorite, go figure) is quite lethargic. She’s a 2 day old blue laced red wyandotte, and is familiar with the feeder and nipple waterer. She’s...
