    Bumble foot?

    Why is my rooster nesting

    My rooster loves to sit and stare at the corner. But today I came out to let my chickens free range and he didn’t come out. A couple of my hens are really broody right now if that could be affecting him. He is pulling things towards home like my hens do when they are nesting. He is definitely a...

    Is my egg still alive?

    I’ve been trying to hatch an egg because my girls have been really broody. It’s day 19 and I think I heard a peep but I’m not sure. I took a couple pictures, can anyone tell me if I’ll have a chick in a few days or if it’s dead?

    Silkie confusion

    I purchased silkies and this one came. It looked normal but then the feathers became dramatically curled. Please leave thoughts on breed and gender. Someone said it may be a satin frizzle? Six weeks old by the way.

    Unique silkie

    I have this silkie chick that’s only about 4 or 5 weeks old. I was just wondering how rare it is to get a chick that’s a frizzle that also has a vaulted skull. (I also just wanted to brag about how adorable this one is!!)

    Odd silkie behavior

    Every night I let my chickens out of the run about an hour or two before sunset. After about five minutes of running around, they all jump up and sit on my chest. Should I stop letting them out of the run so late?
