Hello! I have a Buff rock (I believe) almost one year old. Acting normal: eating, drinking, pooping and laying eggs. I just noticed it today during a routine bottom and foot check- although it’s been about 2 months since the last one. I believe it is an ingrown feather? There is one on either...
I just noticed this small gash on my chickens beak. It must have happened today. Recently. The chickens don’t tent to fight much at all but I had a chicken go broody for the first time today. Maybe she did it? This is all new to me.
What I have on hand is Neosporin, saline and Microcyn wound...
Hi, I was just reading a thread on here about California white chickens. It was said that they will always lay a white egg. I have two I believe but I am now doubting mine are since they lay a very pale brown egg. Almost pinkish. They could possibly be a bad mix? They are almost 6 months old. I...
Hello all! I just noticed my 3 Plymouth Rocks (one barred and two buff) have seemingly swollen combs? I’m with them everyday and just noticed this a few hours ago. I don’t see any signs of injury from pecking.
All 3 chickens are almost 6 months old.
Eating and drinking,
Preening
Pooping...
Hello,
My barred rock is 15 weeks old and starting last evening is exhibiting signs of lethargy. She is standing with her eyes closed. I separated her today and she’s in our sunroom in a dog crate that I just bought since she might be in it for a few day and I see now is good to have on hand...
This might be a long shot but I’m watching a friends chickens. One has a very poopy behind. She won’t let me near her. She’s a RIR about a year old. I’m not sure if she’s laid an egg today. There were two in the box. Multiple breeds who lay in different areas. I had read about chickens getting...
I just wanted to make sure I have enough ventilation in our coop. We have two triangular cut outs with hardware cloth. Then a window that will stay open permanently. Is this sufficient for 6 chickens in a 5x5 coop? We are doing the deep bedding method as well.
Hi All! Just wanted to check my other four chicks and see if y’all think they are females. I’m starting to be concerned the Barred Rock might be a cockerel. Thanks for all the help so far!!
1- Buff rock (I believe)
2- Black Australorp
3- Barred Rock
4- Buff rock (I believe)
I’ve posted a few questions already but everyone has been such a huge help!!
I have what I believed to be 2 Buff Orpintons. Then reading through another post found out they might not be due to leg color? Both have very yellow legs. Not white at all! Shocked here! Are they Buff Rocks? I already...
Hello!! I have two 8 week old California white chickens that I hope and believe are pullets, I’m still worried that I may have a cockerel. Any idea to what they are? Is it still too early to tell? I know they develop pretty quickly. Thanks for any help out there!
Hello all, I’m concerned about one of my chickens. She is an 8 week old California white. I though she had fowl pox due to small bumps on the bottom of her beak, both sides in the same location. The other five also had similar bumbs but healed very quickly. Hers are still
Healing. Over the past...
