    Broody Hen

    Hello, so I have a weird question… we absolutely love having broody hens and getting to see what all hatches, but for some reason we have a broody hen that has not wanted to move for over a week now except for occasional times to get food and water… seemingly normal, right? So I finally saw her...

    Flock stopped laying

    Hello! I recently got 10 Silkie chickens and they were all laying for about a week and then all of a sudden they all stopped. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, they are eating the same feed as our other laying chickens and live with some of our ducks. We did separate the chickens from the...

    Help!

    So I have a flock of about 40 chickens after I just added like 5. Suddenly two or three of my chickens have gotten a sort of infection or something. They have a swollen eye or even both eyes that look a bit watery. No sneezing or anything else though. It did rain a lot recently, so there is a...

    Sheep

    Hello, so I am new to owning sheep! All tips are welcomed! So I heard from a previous sheep owner that they can drown in the rain! I am absolutely terrified of this! I find myself sprinting to the field to gather the sheep (we only have 3) to get them inside the barn anytime there is light rain...

    Sexing polish chicks

    Hello! I got 7 straight run polish chicks not too long ago and am wondering what genders they are. I have been looking at photos of sexed polish chicks and I’m worried she sold me all cockerels! 😂🤦‍♀️ And if anyone knows, what color will #7 be? He/she has a red tint and is darker than the buff...

    Help!

    Okay, so we bought a chicken coop that came with some chicks, and three of them grew like crazy fast while the other 3 at a normal speed. By the time the white chicks were about 8 weeks old they were too big for the coop, so I put them with all my layers. We have a few pigs in the barn with the...

    Color?

    We have a gorgeous Silkie rooster that we were given, I am told from the breeder he is show quality and they showed some proof of it, but never actually showed him, just his parents and siblings. I wanted to know what colour you’d call this. I was told partridge, but when I looked it up he seems...

    Duck eggs?

    So I just bought 9 laying female ducks about 4 days ago, and one even layed an egg in my car on the drive home. So far that is the only egg I have gotten! We have been told that it may take a couple days for them to start laying again, but I am just wondering when we should expect to start...

    Pulley or cockerel?

    **sorry for the blurry pics in advance. Hey, I just got two silkie chicks along with a bunch of polish chicks yesterday. I have heard it’s hard to sex silikies when they are young, but I wanted to see what everyone thought. It may just be wishful thinking, but I believe I got two pullets. What...

    What breed of chicken is this? If a chicken at all!!! 🤣

    Hello! I was given 3 small chicks a couple weeks ago and everyone keeps telling me they are quail... I have never seen a quail in person so I am not the best judge of that. I am told they are pullets. They were bought from tractor supply and then given to us after the owner decided they were...
