    ISO - Adult Hen, Charlotte NC

    Hello all! I have a rescued "spent" ex-egg farm laying hen that just isn't going to be able to integrate into my main flock. I have her in her own separate coop/run and would love to find her a well-mannered buddy to live out the rest of her days with. Hen does not have to be laying, not picky...

    Chicken Burial Question

    I don't currently have any chickens that have passed away (thankfully!) but I'm curious about something for when they do: those of you who bury your chickens, how do you not run out of space? Can you bury a chicken where another one was buried before after a certain amount of time?

    First time integrating - is this normal?

    Hello all! I'm currently trying to integrate 2 17/18wk pullets with my two adult hens. This is the first time expanding the flock. My adult hens haven't been terribly violent with them establishing the pecking order, but it's been about two weeks, and the pullets were in an adjacent coop/run to...

    Extremely Tiny Month-Old Chick - Dwarfism or Deficiency?

    Hi all! I have seven approximately one month old Mille Fleur d'Uccles, and one of them has hardly grown the whole time. It was a little weak for the first few days, but the weird thing is that it acts completely normal. It eats, drinks, scratches around with the other chicks, grooms itself and...

    Hoover's Mystery Rare Chicks

    I'm wondering if anyone can help me figure out the breeds of my Hoover's mystery chicks! Only three survivors, unfortunately, and one may be special needs (I just posted another thread on that) I'm almost certain one is a Dark Brahma. Any guesses on the other two? These photos are at age 1...

    What's going on with this chick?

    Hello! I had a horrible experience with a Hoover's hatchery order this month. I won't get into that paragraphs-long story. Sweet Pea, one of my three surviving chicks, has never been "right" since we got her. She was on the brink of death when she arrived, and after nearly a week of nursing her...

    Mixed Breed Sexing Help?

    Breeds I know of that are possible parents: Barred Rock, Rhode Island Red, Golden Comet, Black Copper Maran, Easter Egger (not my chickens, hatched from a family members' eggs) These chicks are right at six weeks old. I'm very confident about two roosters, but unsure of the rest. Does anyone...

    Twins? Two heads? Something else?

    Hello all! I previously posted my first adventure with incubating some eggs from my cousin's farm here. He asked me to incubate and hatch some more for him, actually, so I've been doing that with a new (hopefully properly functional this time!) incubator. However, I've run into something...

    Need Help IDing breed of chicks!

    All between 2-4 days old, can anyone tell me their breeds? They could very well be mixes. Incubated and hatched from my cousin's farm -- not sure what breeds he has other than Barred Rocks and RIRs, but there are more. I think the yellows look exactly like a golden comet female, they have the...

    Day 25, unsure if chicks are alive?

    Hello all! I recently posted about incubator issues I was experiencing and expected a late hatch. Between Day 22-25, I've had five healthy baby chicks hatch out of 8 eggs I incubated. Today is Day 25 and three were left. I candled them and two I'm unsure about, but the third just didn't look...

    Does this chick need help hatching?

    Hello all! After encountering some issues during incubation (which I posted about recently here) once of my chicks is finally hatching. However, I'm pretty sure something isn't right. The last time I candled several days ago, this egg had a large air cell that dipped way further down on one...

    HELP! Do my chicks have any hopes of hatching?

    Hello all! I'm in urgent need of advice for the clutch of eggs I'm currently incubating. For starters, I'm not a chicken expert. I don't own any and I've never incubated eggs before. It's a very long and complicated story how this came to be, but to sum it up: my cousin owns a farm. I'm vegan...
