    Bloody/Black Comb?

    I noticed a few days ago that my chicken Teeny had a bit of black on her comb. I ignored it and figured it would go away. I looked at it today and noticed it was bloody. Are the other chickens pecking at it? If so, what is the black part? She's not at the top of the pecking order but definitely...

    Does Squatting Mean the Chicken Is Going to Lay Soon?

    I have six French Marans and one has just started squatting when I pet her. Does that mean she is going to lay soon? And if so, when? She is almost five months old.

    Suddenly Crossbeaked Pullet? I Need Some Help.

    I went on a few errands for about two hours. When I got home I checked on the chickens. One of my pullets, Nugget was stuck between the wall of the run and the wall of a smaller run I had put inside the first one for the pullets. I got her out and apparently she "got" crossbeak in the two hours...

    Should I Feed Hens Same Food as Chicks?

    My hen just hatched chicks and it freaked me out because I thought we had another week left! I am NOT prepared! Do I feed the hens the same feed as the chicks? Or do I feed the chicks the same feed as the hens? The coop they're in is temporary and I was planning to move my broody hen in with the...

    Hurt But Not Hurt Leg?

    I have a little pullet who had a hurt leg when she was little. It healed and her leg was fine for about a week. But now it looks like she's limping and she doesn't like standing. Her legs looked really stiff but when I picked her up and tried to bend her leg, it bent easily and didn't look like...

    Broody Hen and I Know Nothing About It!

    My Sapphire Gem went broody a little while ago and I decided to let her hatch chicks because they would be my roosters first and last chicks 😔 and I don't have many chickens. I just realized that I know NOTHING about broody hens. Some random info would be great! Should I let her raise the chicks...

    I Need Help FAST

    I found a little duck whose whole family had been killed by hawks. I took him home and he seemed fine. I left him for 15 min and when I came back he was laying on his side. It doesn't look like he can hold his head up. He's not pooping, drinking or eating. I gave him some sugar water but I...

    Should I Separate Her?

    I have a sweet little French Black Copper Marans who I think has something wrong with her leg or her foot. I'm leaning towards the foot injury because she has a swollen red spot. It's not big but she has a hard time walking. The other chicks are at that age where they get rougher and louder to...

    What Gender are These?

    I have 2 French Wheaten Marans, 1 French Cuckoo Marans and 3 French Black Copper Marans. I really need to know if any are roos so I can sell them early without getting too attached.

    Broken Leg or Popped Tendon?

    I have a small French Black Copper Marans who I think has a broken leg. She doesn't put weight on it and she is always leaning against the wall or sitting down. She's small and I don't want her getting trampled by the other chicks. I heard there are things called popped tendons but I haven't...
