    Anyone know why this girl might be making this noise?

    I came out to check on my flock this morning and found this girl doing what think might be wheezing? I have quarantined her on our back patio in a dog kennel with some water - I'll get her food in a bit, but other than the sound, she's otherwise behaving normally. This is the first I've noticed...

    Moral support needed.

    I have been introducing my 9 week old pullets to my hens slowly. For a little over a week now, they've been kept in the same run, divided by a baby gate designed for folks with cats (it's 4.5 ft tall), and I've been putting the pullets back in their brooder box and moving them to the garage at...

    A few weeks older, getting suspicious!

    My chickens are now eleven weeks old, and I'm starting to get suspicious that one of my Ameraucanas pullets is actually a cockerel. I live in a subdivision and some neighbors already expressed their distaste should any of my chickens turn out to be male. I'm hoping I'm just hyperfocused and...

    Do I have pullets or cockerels or both?

    Hi All, First-time chicken keeper here, and I purchased a flock of 6 day-old "hens" from McMurray Hatchery, plus the one "mystery chick." I completely understand that sexing chicks is difficult, but I live in a subdivision and I am nervous that I'm ending up with more than the one possible roo...
