    Vent gleet and fowl pox?

    Hello! New chicken owner here. I have four hens and this morning, I went to unlock them and I noticed that my Gingerham has a very pale comb compared to the others. My chickens’ combs are usually bright red so I was pretty concerned at this sudden change. I went inside to grab my phone so I...

    Mites in the chicken coop?

    Hello! Today I went outside to feed my four pullets, but I noticed a few red mites on the chicken coop roof. They were like tiny red dots and quickly disappeared and now I don't know where they are. I checked my chickens and it doesn't look like there are mites on them, but I'm not 100% sure. I...

    Ducks Causing Problems

    So a friend of mine asked me to take care of her ducks (a Khaki Campbell and two Perkins) while she went away. i have four chickens as well so we thought they might get along. However, as soon as the ducks saw the chickens, they tried to bite their combs and push them with their bills. I was...

    Pullet has sticky clear liquid dripping from her beak!

    So I went to feed my chickens some fermented chicken feed and one of my Gingerham pullets pecked at it a couple of times before walking backwards and swinging her head from side to side. I noticed a clear, mucus-like substance dripping from her beak (it looked sort of like human saliva) and I...

    Pullet sitting in the nesting box with no eggs

    My 21 week old White Leghorn crossed with a New Hampshire laid her first egg two days ago and laid another one yesterday. I checked the nesting box today and there were no eggs (I don’t expect her to lay an egg everyday, especially since she just started laying). However, my pullet went back...

    My pullets are sneezing, are they sick?

    A few weeks ago, my pullets started sneezing. They only sneezed once in a while so I thought it was just the dirt (there are currently builders in my backyard), so I didn’t do anything. Now they are 18 weeks old and I noticed them sneezing more and more often. I also found blood in one of my...

    When should I feed my chickens calcium?

    My pullets are 17 (nearly 18) weeks old and are nearly at point of lay. I was wondering when I should start feeding them calcium eg. egg shells, oyster shells etc. Should I start feeding them before they start laying or after they key their first egg? Also, when should I switch to feeding them...

    Hen or Roo?

    So I noticed that my white leghorn crossed with a New Hampshire has a larger wattle and comb than my other pullets. She’s 15 weeks old and I’m not sure if it’s the breed or maybe shes a rooster. We bought sexed female chicks from the farm but I just wanted to check if she was a female.

    Does anyone have any ideas about what breed they are?

    I’ve got four 15 week old pullets and I don’t know what breed they are. The farm we got them from when they were chicks said they were laying hens but didn’t specify what breed they were. I know the pictures aren’t that great but I was wondering if anyone might be able to tell what breed they are.
