    Chicken spending hours in the nesting nox

    Hello all, it’s been a while since I’ve needed some assistance. Hopefully this means I am doing an okay job. However, one of my younger girls, Savannah born mid Jan, has been spending all day in the nesting box. She hasn’t laid yet and has to be physically removed so she will eat, drink and...

    What am I?

    This is Waylon, he was “Lemon” but we learned quickly he was not in fact a pullet. He was sold to us as a gold star pullet but I am wondering what breed he is so I can learn more about him. He is gorgeous as you can see, and sweet unlike my feisty Silkie Roo, he doesn’t crow yet (definitely not...

    Lemon or Waylon...

    Here I am again with another gender situation. This is my gold star pullet, “Lemon”. He had a breed partner Penelope but unfortunately a hawk found her so we have no comparison for physical attributes . We got her/him mid January and he seems big compared to the other chickens but again I don’t...

    Possible broken leg and infection!

    Good afternoon. A friend of mine got this EE from the feed store (free of course because she is not well). There is a major problem with her leg (maybe broken?) and possible infection. She is eating and drinking as well as moving around as best she can. We need some suggestions on how to help...

    Foot issue, suggestions needed

    This is Betsy, she is staying with us for a while. When she came to us her we were told about her limp, presumably from a rooster, but yesterday we noticed this on the bottom of her foot. We now think this may be causing the limp. To me, it looks like she has something impacted but I’m miles and...

    Possibly Barred Rock male or female?

    This is one of my orphan babies. I have had them for 4 weeks so they could be slightly older but not younger. I’ve been told they are probably Barred Rock but is this a male or female? I am gonna post one at a time because it has been to confusing otherwise. This is all of the same baby

    Meet my crew

    Hello all, I would like to introduce you to 7 of my 14 crew. I got 8 chicks on August 28th, 2020. We lost one Silkie shortly after we got her and our second Silkie turned out to be male. They aren’t allowed to leave the yard but like children, they enjoy pushing boundaries and sit on the fence...

    Ageessive Silkie Cockerel

    Good morning! I hope this post finds everyone well. I have a situation that has me stumped. My Silkie “Maddie” is so sweet and cuddly but today when my 9yo son came outside in red/black flannel pants he went wild. He starting attacking his legs and sent my kid running in tears. My kid went...

    Breed help

    We got these babies after they were abandoned at the post office. My guess on age is approx 2 weeks but I am not sure. We don’t know breed or gender. They love photos taken and pose so cute! They have bands on their legs because they all look so similar I needed something to identify them for...

    New babies!

    Hello all, while picking up supplies our local feed store asked us if we wanted these babies. Someone ordered them from a hatchery and never picked them up. The post office held onto them but took them to the feed store a couple of days ago. Any idea what breed they might be? Or how old? (They...

    I am tired of jumping fences...

    Hello all, I am on the fence jumping struggle bus! My 6 ladies and 1 cool dude, keep leaving my yard when they are let out to roam. We have a little over 1/2 acre fenced yard but they insist on playing at the neighbors. We spent the weekend putting chicken wire on the bottom half of the fence...

    Maddie the Silkie might be “Matt”

    My approx 18 week precious Silkie has been crowing for a week and a half now. She is the only one of her breed (her “breed partner” died early on) so I have no physical comparison in my flock. These 7 chickens are our first and we got them at about a week old so we have so much to learn still...
