Hi fellow chicken lovers! I would love to get some educated guesses on the genders of these two cuties. About 4.5 weeks old, Rhode Island Reds from Tractor Supply, straight run. They do a little sparring every now and then, but not sure if that's enough to say they're roos? Their legs look the...

Hi chicken lovers! We keep having problems with our hen Zaza, about 14 months old Barred Rock. She had a respiratory issue in early June (sneezing all the time) and I thought we cured whatever it was with one injection of Duramycin 72-200, the only thing I could get my hands on at the time. At...

Hey everyone, I'm ready to bring all cockerels from our May hatch back to the breeder and wanted to confirm that this 9 week old "breed unclear" is a cockerel? The feathers are growing in weird directions... Do you see hackle feathers? I think the back feathers still look too rounded, but the...

Hi guys, I'm worried about our 1 year old hen, Zaza, Barred Plymouth Rock. About 2-3 weeks ago I heard her sneezing for the first time, and since then it has gotten more frequently, she now sneezes maybe every 5 minutes or so. There is no discharge around her eyes, no swelling, she looks...

On 5/9 we added a Bielefelder pullet that is 1 week older than the rest as well as a Lavender Orpington that was 1 week younger than the rest. This past weekend, the Orpington died suddenly 😭 She was laying...

Hi there! We hatched a few chicks over the weekend, 13 made it (yay!) but 2 of them are having problems: Chick 1 (Chipmunk) hatched Saturday and has a weird thing going on with her neck. Her head is mostly tilted to the right, although there is no restriction of movement. It almost seems like...

Hi chicken lovers, We sadly found ourselves left with only a single hen from our initial flock of 5 😔 She’s a 9-months old Barred Rock named Zaza, and we lost her girlfriends to a predator - I’d be interested in your opinion on who did it. It must have happened during the afternoon. They were...

Hello! First time chicken mom here! I’ve been reading the BYC forums every now and then, and already found great answers to a few questions I had as a new chicken mom. We started our chicken journey in May with 2 Buff Orpingtons, and 3 Barred Rocks. We have a 4-year old daughter, and we wanted...
