Out of nowhere my chicken developed this black spot on her comb, both sides: what can it be? Google isn’t helpful. How can I help her? Is it treat labor?
We had 3 eggs hatch out of 6, random eggs from a farmer. They are 7 1/2 weeks old. I believe 2 are copper marans and 1 is an Easter egger. What do you guys think or are they a different breed? Also one of the black one has a significant comb compared to the other black one, guessing it’s a roo...
So we got 12 “fertilized” eggs, but now it may seem that they were never fertilized from the beginning and farmer just ripped us off. The incubator has these eggs inside with 6 more days to go, hatching should be this Saturday 2/5. What do you guys think from these eggs? It is my first time...
Just picked up these fertilized eggs and trying to figure out the breeds.
These are the possibilities that the farm has.
What do you think the eggs belong to, which breed?

Today I am picking up a dozen fertilized eggs from a local farm, unfortunately I wasn’t able to get half a dozen even though I expressed it’s for 1 broody silkie hen. They assured me that silkies can manage 12 eggs.
Any suggestions on how to properly introduce the eggs to the silkie hen?

We have 5 chickens, a black star, blue Andalusian, silver laced Wyandotte, and 2 silkies. They are all 7 months old. 4 of the 5 are laying eggs besides the silver laced Wyandotte. When did your Wyandotte’s start laying? Because I’m little surprised that the silkies started laying before the...
Our Wyandotte’s legs are THICK, compared to the other 2 Wyandottes and rest of the chickens. I’m not sure if it’s really bumble foot or if she’s just special. Anyone have any leads on what’s going on?
I never thought that I would bond with my chickens as much as I have. But here I am crying over my silkie rooster I had to give up today because city prohibits roosters here. We ended up choosing for him to stay at a sanctuary as part of the “gentlemen’s club” for roosters. It makes me feel...
Morning guys,
My gold laced Wyandotte all of the sudden this morning formed a lump/bubble near her comb. I am not sure what it is and searching google is not helpful. Can someone please identify what it can be and how I can help?
thank you
So I have this silkie, blue splash, born April 27, 15 ish weeks old. I suspect it’s a female, it’s much smaller then it’s 3 other silkie siblings BUT what really gets me is how “weak” it is. It doesn’t jump or get into the coop on its own. All my other chickens do, but this one stays behind in...
Hello
I have a mellow Australorp rooster that needs a home, 17 weeks old, but I can not keep him because the city/county doesn’t allow roosters. I am willing to drive hour within Denver if he goes to a good home.
Hi fellow chicken owners! 😎
I have 6 beautiful silkies 8 & 9 weeks old, it’s still early to tell sex as I understand but their combs are very different from each other. If you’ve owned silkies before or currently I’m sure you have a better understanding of their combs then I do. So what are...
Good morning y’all!
I’m so thrilled this morning, yesterday our chicks transitioned from our house to the coop. During the day it’s 75-80 F and during night it dropped down to 50 F. I was a little worried and couldn’t wait for the morning to come just to check in on them. By 5:30 am I was...
I just took update photos of my chickens today, some are 5 weeks and some are 7 weeks old.
