    Frizzle losing feathers

    This is our first frizzle named "Farty", so not sure how often they molt. We have 5 other chickens...all different breeds. Farty has been losing feathers on her back near her tail for a couple months now. Is this normal molting, or is there something else going on? She's still laying about 2-3...

    Rhode island red sexing

    We bought our first Rhode Island Red "Lucille Ball" back in Feb/March from a local feed store. She's now about 6-7 months old. Please tell me she's a pullet.

    Is this egg normal?

    Our girls are 3 years old. Lately, one of the hens (that has also consistently been our best layer) has little to no white in her eggs. It's mostly just yolk. Is this normal for a 3yr old hen? Pretty much all of her eggs are like this for last month or so

    Done molting but not laying again yet

    I've got 3 hens (araucana blends) that are about 2.5 years old. They just finished a pretty rough molting season (they looked so pitiful!). They're no longer molting, but only 1 started laying again. Well, now she hasn't laid in about 2 weeks. The others haven't started laying yet since they're...

    Nothing left but a pile of feathers

    I am so sad. My favorite hen Rosie (she's a cochin) is gone. I keep her and my 4 pullets (6 month old EE) in a run. There are plenty of places for them to hide, either in the coop or under the coop. There is a 4ft tall fence surrounding the run and coop. I checked on them yesterday morning and...

    Pullet laying under roosting bars

    I need some help. I've got 4 pullets (approximately 5 months old) and 1 hen that is 2 years old. The pullets recently started laying. All but 1 pullet use the nesting boxes, but I've got 1 stubborn one lays under the roosting bars. I have a total of 8 nesting boxes that are large enough and are...

    Bullying pullet

    I have 5 chickens (1 is a cochin--i think--and is a little over 1 year old and the 4 pullets are supposedly an Easter egger blend that are almost 5 months). I introduced the 4 pullets to the coop with my cochin. After about a week, they were all 5 getting along great. The 4 pullets have grown...

    App suddenly shuts down and closes

    Hi. I've had an issue with this app randomly shutting down and closing in the middle of me typing or reading threads/information on here. My app is up-to-date. When the app closes on me, it goes back to the main homescreen when I reopen it, instead of where I was reading when I was interrupted...

    EE, Araurana or Ameracauna? Pullets or cockrels?

    I purchased these chicks from Hoovers Hachery through TSC. These are the only 4 that survived from the 10 I ordered. Supposedly, they are all females. I am not positive on their exact breeds, other than they are Easter Eggers, Ameraucana or Araucana, so I need help identifying each breed. And...
