    Hen or Rooster?

    This is an Easter egger that I hatched in my bedroom. I know it isn't the best picture but it's kind of dark in there. Do you think it is a hen or rooster?

    Is my chicken sick or just broody?

    I have a hen that has been acting strange lately, but I'm not sure whether it's sickness or brooding. I had broody hens before, but a few months ago one of my hens passed away from being sick, and so now I'm extra cautious. That was the only time I've lost a chicken to sickness in the three...

    Safe to eat whole egg with broken egg yolk on the shell?

    I found some other threads on this subject but most were only discussing the why. In my case, I know why it happens - some of my chickens eat eggs on occasion, and lately I have noticed some chickens having problems with this shells. I do add oyster shell to their feed but will begin adding...

    Rhode Island - Flock of 10 Needs New Home

    The house I'm living in has developed a serious mold problem due to leaks in the attic and the landlord has been negligent about fixing it (I don't own this home, I rent). As a result of the mold, I have developed asthma. I hadn't even been to a doctor in over 5 years because I've been in such...

    Only Laying In One Nesting Box

    So I have three nesting boxes in my coop, all right next to each other on the same level. They a separated by wooden barriers. For some strange reason all of my chickens always lay in the same nesting box, all the way to the right. There were rare exceptions to this, and if I put fake eggs in...

    7 months old - hen or rooster?

    I have a 7 month old chicken that I still haven't figured out the gender of yet. At 7 months you would think I would know by now. This chicken has never crowed, not even once, and it also has barely any comb. So you would assume it is a hen. However, this chicken also has never laid a single...
