Two days in a row, one of my girls is laying eggs with a thick yolk. The first time I thought I had not noticed a crack but today I am sure the egg was fine. What could be causing this gummy texture?
Hi!
Can anyone guess what my breed mix my two chicks might be? I was advised they are Easter Eggers (Australian).
Do I have two pullets?
Any idea on age? The photo with the chicken being held was taken in April by the breeder and I guess around 8 weeks old? They are still quite small birds...
Hi! I'm a little on the bench about whether my Aussie Easter Egger is a boy or girl?
10 weeks old exactly.
Apparently a cross between, Australian Lavendar Araucana, Cream Legbar, Maran and something else 😄
I have had some very obvious boys but this ones back feathers are not so straight...
Hi, I'm hoping for some opinions on what could possibly be wrong with my hen. Presented yesterday with one eye a little extra "open". I dismissed it as she was very much her talky bossy self. Today she is lethargic, sleepy and the eye looks wrong. She is otherwise eating and drinking and staying...
I have an hen that lays Olive green eggs. A Silver laced Wyandotte that lays a cream egg and a blue laced wyandotte freeholder. 😉
They are all 9 mths old.
A few weeks ago I found a blue coloured egg rather than an olive.
Can I safely assume something went wrong with my olive laying hens ink...
Hello
I know this has been discussed quite often but I am now over the 2 month point and its getting tiring.
I have 3 x 9mth old hens. And 3 x 5mth old girls. They were integrated 2 months ago.
The 3 older hens will NOT let up and chase the young ones all day. I have separate feeding areas...
So it's happened. I purchased 4 little ones from a breeder and have lost 1 and now another is acting sick. All are 3 months old.
These little girls are separated from my big girls who are 6.5 months old but have shared the same free range area.
I do not want to lose my big girls 😩💔 and am...
Can someone familiar with SSH please advise if our 10 week old is a roo? I am unfamiliar with this breed but feel its looking like a boy.
what percentage are you sure please 🙏
My children have accidentally left out some medicated pullet feed which our laying hens just ate. (About a handful).
Will we be unable to eat their eggs for a few days?
Hi, I'm new to Barnevelders and Hamburg's. Do I have 2 roos? And can you please say how sure you are (as I will need to rehome them 😪)
6 weeks old.
Double laced Silver Barnevelder

Hello, at the risk of looking silly, can someone please advise if there might be something wrong with my chick? It is eating and drinking but has started chirping like this since yesterday?
I picked up some chicks yesterday and am unsure of their age. They sleep like newly hatched chicks (I've had one lot of day olds previously).
(We were looking at an older chick and then purchased these young ones instead. I forgot to ask their age and am guessing 2 weeks? Unfortunately the...
First time Wyandotte owner :frow
Can any experienced Wyandotte owners please determine if my two are pullets or cockerels?
16 weeks old. The GLW acts like my hens and is not as red in the comb & wattles

Hello! I have 7, 9 week old chickens. 2 easter Eggers, 1 Lavendar Araucana, 2 silver Wyandottes, 1 Gold Wyandotte and 1 Blue Wyandotte :frow
