    Bad eye bird

    Kid has reported one of our fall pullets has a swollen eye. Have sent spouse out to bother the bird and get photo. Since they are late additions at the bottom of pecking order, she and her sister tend to wander around do their own thing. Not sure if there are any other symptoms yet. I'm...

    mystery babies at 10 weeks

    I bought a 6 pack of day olds to put under my broody bantam cochin on hatch day 2..and then actually hatched 4 total over 4 days. Then bought 3 more a month later from someone else. Which means I am at 10 weeks and looking at these 13 birds wondering how many of them are going to start...

    Comb troubles

    We were having some rooster induced baldness, but an outdoor snuggle with good lighting and phone makes me worried that something else is going on. There is some paleness underneath the top and also some muddy bits that don't brush off.

    Air Quality impact?

    Is there anything I can be doing to support my mixed age flock as the Canadian wildfires fill the yard with smog? I've got month old chicks up to yearlings bopping about and going outside is very gross for people for sure.

    Light Brahma pullet with foot feather issue

    My child brought home a trio of chick from school a couple months ago and one seems to be a light brahma. We have mostly clean legged birds going into our second year so aren't sure what we are looking at. She's about 20 weeks. The trio are still overnighting in a small prefab, but share an...

    Thoughts on modding this prefab

    The kid is coming home on spring break in a couple of weeks with at least 1 chick if not more. That plus a bullied bantie and limited time/skill had me buying this prefab (steeply reduced.) Looking for thoughts on adding enough ventilation for the 2 chickens claimed by design. Preliminary...

    Banty crow

    I know the bantam boys are supposed to have extra 'tude but I don't think I was expecting so much crowing before 12 weeks. 3 eggers very busy being the best boy 1 cochin who started early and doesn't care as long as there is food. And 1 wyandotte that is playing wait and see. I remain...

    Rooster ID and ranking

    I foolishly started with a Cackle bantam assortment, mixed and egger and an out of stock cancel on a 3rd type. So out of the 8 survivors (just about 8 weeks) I am going to have a lot of rehoming, but I am also trying to learn how to tell. So apologies for the held bird, but I can't figure out...

    Very shy guy. Breed or just individual?

    3 week old cackle asst bantam. Not the best picture but I have 2 of these fellows, indentical, and they do not like me, so I had to zoom. Must be eating well when I am not looking because they are feathering?

    Buckling down and backwards building ccop

    Of course I have chicks already and no place built to put them! Like you (shouldn't) do. But I am sure I will prevail with neurodiversity and a due date! Like you do. So ignoring the pile of irregular pallets out back... Going to aim for 8x12 feet with the shorter side facing south in 5b...

    Feathering wrong or just different?

    So as a first timer I'm somewhat regretting starting with a random assortment. Westly arrived mostly dead a little over 2 weeks ago, pulled through. Survived the great brooder unplugging. (Rip Buttercup) Developed pasty butt but handles cleaning nicely. Not hyper, not hidden. But the wing...
