I have a momma bird on eggs. I don’t think any will hatch. We had an attack while I was out so she was off the nest for quite a while. The eggs were cold when I found the situation. I have a pair of hawks that are trying their hardest to get in my coop. So far so good… just the fate of the nest...
Bought at local hardware store. Sold to me as golden laced Wyandottes. They just look different to me!

Bird 2 has grey legs

This hen is about 10 months old. She is still laying, eating, drinking, and otherwise normal. Y’all think this is avian pox? Will it just clear up? I have 10 other chickens. Nobody else has any thing yet. They free range all day and are cooped up at night. Any help is appreciated! This is my...
I’m new to chickens and am wondering what y’all think! Hen or Roo? They are 10 weeks old.
I knew it was a toss up on the Lavender Orpington chick. But the Olive Egger is supposed to be female. 😃
