@TudyBOT How many different breeds of chickens are there in the world, and could you name each one? Thank you.

Hi all, I have a pullet who is around the 10 month mark now. Just today she started backing up, lowering her head and turning it from side to side. I know it may be a symptom of Mareks or a nutririant deficiency. She dosen't seem to have a injury. As she is a Araucana X, she has a crest. I will...

Ha? Crowing? I hope I'm not crowing the neighbours will hear... :oops:

Hi all, My hen has had broken, brittle, frayed wing and tail feathers for a while. She dose have bumble foot and is on the mend. I do not have a rooster and she isn't moulting at the moment. Wondering what the cause of this is and what I can do to help her. Thanks for any replies.

I discovered this one day after Christmas. Turned out that all three of our chickens had it. We have since cured three feet with two feet (on the same chicken) going away on it's own. We now have only one foot left to cure. It has been a very long journey to get to this point. I have made sure...

Hi all, I'm wondering how would you breed naked necks using primary colours such as brown or black to create a mottled naked neck, as there doesn't seem to be any around here that are mottled. Interested to see what you would have too do. Thanks.

Hi all, I have gone through many improvements to my coup. This was the start. This picture was before my chickens started laying. I then added a nest box and alot more ventilation, as well as fixing up the roost (making it higher, wider and further away further away from the wall. I then added...

Hi, I know it could be hard to tell if this is a pullet or a cockerel at this stage, but is this a mixed Araucana and if possible, what gender is it? Also do you think it is about 2 and a half weeks old? Thanks

Hi, I just brought two chicks home. The breeders said they were two weeks old, but they look older. They weren't vaccinated, but they put ACV in their water. On the way I home I noticed a few of one of their poos where a redish colour. I didn't think that was too much of a problem at the time...

Dose this bumble foot infection look bad?

Hi, two out of my 3 chickens seem to have bumble foot. It dosen't seem to effect them at all. I'm wondering if there's any other way to cure it than scraping the scab off. I know you can soak their feet in ebson salts, but is this affective if the scab's black? I can take pictures if needed...

Hi, wondering how people treat their chickens for worms? Thanks!

Hi, would like to know how long it takes a chicken to lay a egg after their experiencing new instincts? As I have a chicken who is clucking a lot. She is 18 weeks old. Thank you! :)

Hi, I have three chickens, and at the moment I have the nesting box level with the coup floor. They are not laying yet, but they're also not sleeping in the nest box. The coup is about 50 centimetres off the ground. Should I put the nest boxes up a bit, or is this not necessary? Thanks! :)

Hi, would love to know if it's a good idea to hang the feeder up. Would be interested to know the benefits. Thanks! :)

Hi, I have a pullet who dose not like being handled. Every time I try to pick her up, she either jumps over my hands or runs away. When I hold her I have to hold her really tightly so she won't fly away. When I mange to pick her up she struggles. She has never like being handled, but is still...

Hi, I've been cleaning out my chicken's coup about once a week. it's 1.8 by 2.4 metres square. I'm wondering if I should be cleaning it out more regularly, or if I don't need to clean it out as much. Thanks! :)

Hi, just wondering when everyone starts feeding layers feed first? I have done some research and people have said to feed it in between 16 - 18 weeks, or the first egg. I was going to feed it from the first egg, but is this a good idea? Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Hi, I have a Ausralorp x New Hampshire. I have been supspious for quite sometime now. Would love to know if s/he was a hen or a Cockerel. S/he is 16 weeks old now and has never liked being handled, but is still very friendly. Also s/he was sexed as a female. Pretty sure they're a pullet, but...
