    Aggressive Rooster

    Hi everyone! So my family and I got a rooster about 2-3 months ago? We integrated him into the group of three hens that we had and everything was fine. He seemed to avoid us and was timid which we took to be simply because we didn't raise him like we did the hens who love to run up to us and...

    Hi everyone! So yesterday my family and I had our first chick successfully hatch and the second one hatched a few minutes ago!

    Hens right?

    Hi everyone! So I posted yesterday about my first egg and through a series of events found out that my “rooster” was actually a hen and SHE had laid the egg. (First time chicken owner so I’m still learning 😅) I was wondering if the community could double check my other two chickens to confirm...

    Strange egg color?

    Hi everyone! So my buff Orpington hen laid her first egg yesterday and I was wondering if the color was something anyone else had gotten before. I read buff Orpington eggs should be light brown but this one was pretty dark, like grocery store dark. Could this be due to the fact that the rooster...

    Throat issues?

    So I have a few chickens that are going into their 10th week now but I’m extremely concerned about their health. Sometimes I’ll catch them doing what seems like gagging but I’m not sure if that’s exactly what it is or if it’s at all normal. They started when they were younger but then it stopped...

    Boys, girls? Mystery chick?

    I got these three chicks at Red Barn about 7 weeks ago and they were a week old at the time so they’re 8 weeks going onto nine. Wanted to know if anyone could help me confirm whether they were boys or girls? Golden ones are buff Orpingtons and I don’t know what the other one is. I posted a...

    Buff Orpington or nah?

    So I bought some chicks from red barn recently and have been raising them together. The sign on the box said they were all Buff Orpingtons however as I’ve researched more and read about them I have yet to see a Buff Orpington that isn’t golden and out of the three I purchased together one of...
