    Is this a new egg type or just random speckles?

    I went to collect eggs and found two eggs that were speckled. I currently do not have any adults that would normally be laying speckled eggs yet I have two girls that are 12-13 weeks old. One I’m not sure exactly what she is and the other is an easter egger but I know it’s highly unlikely that...

    Roo turken?

    Hi! I’m pretty sure this is a roo because of the comb size and colors compared to my other girls but I wanted to ask for a second opinion. Any thoughts? This is my first batch of turkens. Also long shot but any ideas with the silkie? *the cage is temporary, currently deep cleaning the brooder*

    Does anyone know what type on chick these are?

    I got three chicks to add to my flock and got two from an assorted rare breed brooder so I have an idea what they might be but still have no clue which one they exactly are. Does anyone have any idea from the list? I was able to figure out a little bit on my own through process of elimination...

    A pair of ravens are hanging out by my chickens

    It started with just circling and then landing in the distance. Now every day a pair of Ravens are standing about 20ft from the coop just watching the chickens and they’re getting braver. The used to fly away as soon as they saw me but now they don’t care. I’m very nervous. Should I be worried...

    Wrinkled and soft shelled eggs

    I’ve had a girl recently lay a bunch of soft shelled eggs and just found a wrinkled egg. I have an idea of who the suspect is but i’m not quite sure. It’s most likely my buff orpington who is 15/16 weeks and 4 days. I would assume that because she’s so young is why she’s having weird eggs but...

    Egg song before an egg?

    My girls are 20weeks and 4 days and just last week I had at least one of them start laying but I think at least two now(light brahma and one of my rhode island reds). Both of their hips/bone structures were of a laying hen and wide enough and their wattles are super bright red. I heard one of...

    No eggs yet but breeding

    My flock is 17 weeks and 1 day and with the exception of my rooster that was gifted to me that’s for sure over a year. I have 2 rhode island reds, 2 light brahmas, and two prairie bluebell easter eggers. I have seen absolutely none of the girls squat or lay eggs but for the last few days I’ve...

    Smelly Turkey?

    I’m very confused right now. I was loving up on my tom turkey and he smelled pretty bad. Not like poop or anything but a sickly smell. My chickens all smell perfectly fine, it’s just him. He acts normal and isn’t sick or anything but he smells very bad. Is there maybe an illness that I can’t...

    At what age did your chickens lay?

    Good morning! I was wondering when did everyone’s girls start to lay? I have two Rhode island reds, two prairie bluebell easter eggers, and two light bramahas that are 16 weeks and I have a buff orpington, white leghorn, and americana easter egger that are 8 weeks. This is my first personal...

    When to start feeding food/oyster shell for egg production

    My Rhode Island Red hen is 2 days away from 14 weeks(at least i’m pretty sure, if not 14 then 15). I noticed she started trying out the nesting boxes a few days ago but hasn’t squatted yet. I’m thinking she might be an early layer possibly and if so should I start her on oyster shells or feed...

    Anyone know if my americana egger is a pullet or roo?

    Americana egger. Im not EXACTLY sure on the age, best guess is 7 weeks, but I’m not sure whether it’s a pullet or roo. It was supposed to be a pullet but I’m having doubts.

    My 13week pullet is sitting in nesting boxes. Will she be an early layer?

    I’ll be honest this is my first personal flock, but I’ve help raise chickens plenty of times with my parents for eggs and meat. I wasn’t expecting any eggs or laying behaviors for at least a month or so but one of my Rhode Island Reds started sitting in the nesting boxes. Also her comb and...
