My family got these chicks about a month ago from a breeder and they should be about 2 months old by now. I need help finding the gender and breed for these two please! Please let me know if more pics are needed.

Hen had a soft shell egg that she pooped out this morning. Normally, after expelling by the soft shell, she would be acting a little sleepy but would get perkier over time. This time, she is still quiet though usually after this long she would be must more active.
The hen still eats and responds...
Found this in the chick house today. Looks like blood to me. They don’t have a gallon of water to drink form I I was wondering if anyone could give me the dosage per pint. Thanks to anyone who helps out.

Does it depend on the chicken? I see some lining shed every month and wonder how often a chicken sheds lining. I assume it’s not everyday since that could be a sign of an illness so my guess is maybe once a month or maybe once a week?

I usually see my girl rest 2 times a day, in the morning, and during evening. She’s foraging around a lot everyday so it’s not uncommon to see her sit down once a while. Yesterday and today however, I saw her sleeping and resting more than usual. She sometimes slept for 5 mins or sometimes even...
Hello everyone, I have been noticing a slight color change in my hen’s overnight droppings since last week. The hen is a supposedly a red sex link, she is around 4 years in age, I don’t know her weight. She feeds on MannaPro 16% all flock crumble with probiotics. She is showing no signs of...
This morning, I checked my chicken’s crop and it still had a bit of undigested corn from yesterday. She went to sleep with a full crop and everything was emptied except for the corn. The crop is much smaller now, I think maybe the size of a nickel. The crop doesn’t feel hard, it’s a bit squishy...
Hopefully this is the right thread. Do all slugs and worms carry parasites such as gape worm, tapeworm, etc? Are only some infected?
Thanks for answering,

Basically the question. They can’t free range outside and they can’t sunbathe so do they just sleep, eat, and cluck in the coop? Does anyone put anything in the coop to make keep your hens entertained?

I saw this dropping today, is there any need for concern? Could it be blood? I could just be overthinking it though, I checked some poop charts and didn’t see anything like this though...

I have a hen with what I believe is impacted crop. The crop feels hard and lumpy in the morning even though she has barely eaten anything yet. It’s also the size of a tennis ball. I heard giving her oil will help but which one? I don’t have coconut oil right now so what should I use?
I think that my hen has an impacted crop. I have seen her doing a neck moving motion which I’m sure is her adjusting her crop. I checked her in the morning and her crop size seems to be the same as yesterday evening and I haven’t fed her anything yet, also the crop feels hard and lumpy. This is...
Saw this dropping and it looked like it had blood on it. I was a rather big poo. Chicken is acting fine, just laid a egg. I saw one with red like this last week but it was only a one time thing all the other droppings didn’t have this.
so, I have a hen who seem to have found and eaten a avocado left by a squirrel while free ranging outside. I heard that avacados are poisonous to chickens but I have only seen her peck at the flesh inside, not the pit or the skin so is that okay? I got rid of the avocado and now I’m wondering if...
I’ve seen many eat a spider in the past and they turned out ok so I was wondering about flies. I always see them flying around on a warm sunny day so I was wondering if it would be ok for a chicken to consume one while free ranging. Are there any diseases they might get from eating a fly...
So, it appears that a hen of mine found some styrofoam and decided to peck at it while I wasn’t looking, I quickly hid it when I found out, but it looks like she ate a good amount. I was wondering why her crop was so big today and wonder if the styrofoam is the cause? She acts fine now but is...
I saw this hanging out of my chickens vent! I made another thread that described the symptoms she had earlier. Is there a egg stuck inside her? There is also a egg yolk in the nest box area!
