    Too late to get chicks?

    Is it too late to purchase chicks? I'm worried they will not have enough time to grow their adult feathers before the weather gets colder outside.

    Help!!!

    One of our other birds is acting super strange. When I put them to bed tonight, she wasn't in the coop. I looked around, and she was laying in the back corner. I picked her up, and realized her eyes were shut and she would not open them??? She was also doing this weird 'biting aimlessly at the...

    Lethargic hen! Urgent!!

    On Friday last week, my family and I noticed one of our hens had some poop on her butt fluff. She was behaving normally, so we didn't think anything of it. Today, she has been sitting around, looking very lethargic. Her tail was pointed down, and she wasn't moving much. We noticed her vent had...

    Chick issues…

    Hello! We got another bird, after realizing our bantam was a rooster. She is about 2 months old, and looks to be an EE. When we selected her, she had missing feathers all along her back. A store clerk sprayed a purple liquid on her, still not sure what that was. Later, we realized she had...

    Urgent!!! Help needed!!!

    So we gave our girls a permethrin bath today to treat mites. They were acting weird after, losing their balance and not moving much. I thought they seemed shocked, and gave them some time. It’s been a few hours, and our silkie is still off balanced, and is acting rather strange. We followed all...

    Hen or roo?

    This is Roscoe, she’s our old English bantam chick. She is about 3-5 weeks old, and her comb is rapidly growing. I’m afraid she might be a rooster? :( Our other chick doesn’t have a comb yet.

    Meet Tater and Roscoe! We received these two feather babies this morning, and are the latest additions to our flock! Tater is a wyandotte, and Roscoe is an old English game bantam. These two will soon be old enough to join our big girls outside! In the meantime, we’re keeping an eye on them...

    What should I do?

    Hello! We have 3 hens we are needing to get rid of. We have a sweet blue Cochin, but she’s too old to lay anymore. We also have a silkie who lays occasionally but we’re looking for better layers. We also have a polish hen who’s frizzled (possible frazzle) and is a complete spaz. Does anyone know...

    Hey, does anyone know where I can get bantam chicks (sexed or not) that are actually in stock and are at a reasonable price? I would also like ideas for good hatcheries to order from. Thanks!

    help needed/opinion needed

    Hello! recently I've been making these little chicken "logos" and I need an honest opinion. I'm not sure if there's any other thing(s) I should add, or what other breeds or types of bird I should do? thanks! I'm also not sure if the "official" belongs at the bottom or if I should replace it...

    Unique features

    One of our girls has a cool feature! She has a band of orange feathers above her eye, and some on her wing. I thought I would share this because it’s unique and is something none of my other chickens have. She’s an EE and lays beautiful blue eggs!

    Help

    So one of our EE hens has been acting strangely for a while now. Last night, at dark I went to lock the coop, and as I was checking for eggs I saw her in the basket as if she was laying. I thought it was strange for her to be laying at night, but I left her to it. This morning I went out there...

    Birds to be remembered

    Hey all, I’m sure we have all gone through the pain of losing a beloved bird. I created this thread in memory of my BO hen named Camacho. She passed 2 years ago today. She truly was quirky, and had the sweetest personality I’ve ever seen in a chicken. She was sneaky, and always managed to sneak...

    Does anyone else’s silkie have this?

    So, we received 2 silkies a few months back from a friend who had to move away. It was my first time keeping silkies, and I noticed they have alarmingly long nails. At first, I thought all silkies have this, but after seeing some more photos, I’m a little skeptical. Is this normal…?

    Hello

    Hi, I guess I was supposed to make one of these when I first joined. (yesterday) anyway, I have had chickens for about 3 years now, and my current flock consists of 2 EE’s, a Cochin, a polish, and 2 silkies. Previous flocks were EE and BO. I love chickens and poultry, and always want to know...
