    Has my hen lost her eye, or is this something potentially full flock serious?

    This is our Ameracuana, Lenore. She is 7 months old and healthy aside from our obvious problem. I noticed this afternoon that Lenore's eye is just... gone? Looking at the pictures, does it seem to you all like she's just lost an eye? I know, it's not JUST an eye, but I mean instead of something...

    Is this Bumblefoot?!

    Hi, I was wanting some advice- this is our black cochin bantam. She's 1 year old and in great health. She has not been limping or acting out of sorts at all. I make it a practice to check our flocks' feet every few weeks as they are free range and I want to head off any problems. Everything is...

    Chick ID help! We have an interloper!

    Hey there! I succumbed to the siren song of peeping chicks at Farm and Home and came home with chicks. 😂 So the chick in question was supposed to be a cinnamon queen (my son picked her out, her name is Jasper) but looking around the internet- this does not look like a cinnamon queen. There were...

    Weird egg question!

    We're NEW (in our first year) at the whole chicken owning thing, so please bear with me. So here's my weird question- could a bantam have laid the middle egg in the picture? My Silver laced Wyandotte lays the darker brown egg in the picture, so I don't think it's hers, my other two standard...

    Should I move my broody hen to another coop to sit on eggs?

    Hi everyone! So Rita (bantam Silkie/buff Cochin cross) has decided to become a screeching pancake. I don't mind if she wants to set eggs, but I'm at a loss of what to do to make her successful. We have our pre-made coop that everyone uses, but I also acquired a very small coop/maybe a rabbit...

    It's me again... lonely baby chick?

    So! The chick I was so worried about who had pipped but took his sweet time hatching is in the little light bulb incubator- I moved him because he was crashing all the other eggs into each other and not getting very dry. He's VERY lively. VERY. Every time the light turns on or you walk by (the...

    Help! Help! Do I need to intercede?!

    It's been 18 hours. So I'm hatching out a batch for my mom (Little Giant incubator) and yesterday (a day earlier than I thought) I had a pip! The little guy has an eraser sized hole it's breathing through (it's beak is just hanging out there like it's resting) and while it was chirping last...

    Hello my fine chicken family!

    Hello from the wilds of Eastern Missouri! I grew up with chickens, but haven't been in a position to have some of my own in my "grown up" life until now! Our flock... is currently inhabiting a bathtub. There are 7 unknown breed (more about that in a sec), 2 Ameracuana, 2 silver laced...
