    3 year old hen - breed thoughts?

    We got this little lady advertised as a Black Austrolorp, along with one other that had been the same breed. She in particular had yellow bottoms of her feet which we thought was normal, but she grew up to look quite different from her sibling. She’s lithe and always had low egg laying rate...

    Rooster struggling to walk 🐔

    Hey everyone! Our dark brahma roo, Roach, had what we thought was a leg sprain around the 29th of July so we put him in a small tractor to discourage a lot of movement (he still could move around, but it’s capacity was for 4 standard chickens and it only fit him lol). He’s been spending almost...

    Cockerel crowing question

    Hi! My dark Brahma just hit 20 weeks and he’s trying to crow. Or that’s what it looks like. He’s acting like he’s in a silent film, making the neck curve and everything, opens his mouth a LITTLE bit, but it’s as if he doesn’t even know what noise to make. Has anyone else had a rooster do that...

    Very sad news.

    I have a feeling this is my fault, and I feel very guilty and I miss him. Several months ago in April, the breeders of our Sebastopol gander helped us find a new home for him because we couldn’t keep two ganders- their fighting got vicious and they both (the Sebastopol sooner than our other...

    Dark Brahma cockerel growth

    Gonna probably just image dump here as he grows. He’s our first roo :> Here he is today at around 12 weeks. He’s already taller than half of my flock. The first is from today, second picture is a couple days ago. Here he was a few weeks ago, between 8-10 weeks. I’m noticing since then that...

    Lavender Orpington feathers

    I’m here with my girlie, Tofu. She’s 12 weeks old and her feathers look TERRIBLE. like. Stress bars all over, really ragged and shredded feathers since day one. Im not sure if it’s diet related as all my other pullets and my cockerel do not have this issue. We didn’t cull because we don’t know...

    Lavender Orpington with a possible sinus infection?

    Hi everyone! I’ve got a lavender orpington pullet who seems to have swelling on one side of her face. She’s one of our newer chickens and she’s about 12 weeks old. I do want to note that she seems notorious for having things…wrong, with her. Could never figure out what it was. Smallest of the...

    Dark Brahma- pullet, right? - RESOLVED

    Just checking here. She looks quite different from her other DB sibling with more iridescent feathering and a feisty and dominant attitude. Mother in law named her Pikachu. Last photos a comparison between her and her sibling, Coconut.

    Chinese Goose with explosive poops…and something weird in it. Help?

    Hi! We rescued a little lady Chinese Goose from a situation that wasn’t good for her [extremely muddy run, no forage or fresh water for lord knows how long, lived on scratch, and wet feather.] Her name’s Heather. We’ve been giving her supervised baths to help with her feathers and we’re...

    Very Dominant Sebastopol

    Hi everyone, it’s been a while. We picked up some geese 7 months ago when they were just little hatchlings. First time goose owner, hand raised and very very loved. Hormone seasons kicking up so obviously they’re going to act different, but I noticed our Sebastopol in particular is really...

    guessing game but with an Easter Egger

    Someone wanna have a poke on what Zoot here might be a mix of? I'm insanely curious about it but have no idea of the possibilities. Leggie shot with our clean faced EE as well. Sorry if this kind of thread isn't allowed, I was just curious what your guesses may be.

    Our jersey giant adopted one of our 9 week old chicks..?

    I never heard of hens adopting older chicks successfully. The moment our jersey giant knew of the chicks (we let them see the chicks when they were around 2-3 weeks old briefly), she started going into brood. We only just integrated them at 8 weeks (which worked splendidly after they had a...

    baby chick broken toe & foot yellowing ...

    Hey all. I've got an easter egger chick with some problems. Her name's Toast. It happened shortly after we got her. The morning after we noticed it we ramped up treatment with diluted betadine solution and triple antibiotic ointment. We soak her feet 3 times daily as of yesterday and dab the...
