    6 week old silkies, Roos??

    Hey everyone! We hatched out 12 silkies for the first time. Out of the 6 we kept, I’m worried 5 of them may be Roos! I checked the silkie sexing guide and most of our chicks appear to have big combs for only 6 weeks, but this is also our first time with silkies. We are obviously going to...

    Hen suddenly can’t breathe, looking for help

    Hello all, looking for our hen Dumptruck is a 7 month old Easter egger hen. Yesterday I noticed she was making wheezing noises while breathing. There were no other symptoms, no coughing or sneezing. After some research I settled on probably stridor and was going to let it run its course. However...

    Does this feather color indicate cockerel? 4 week chicks

    Hello all! I am wondering if I can sex these chicks I was gifted from a friend based off of their feathering at this point? The chicks are 4 weeks old and they are bred from a lavender roo with possible mothers being rhode island reds and Easter eggers. All of the Easter egger hens have pea...

I have a flock of 5 that are about 10 months old and I feel like I am fighting a losing battle. Two months ago I found red roost mites in the coop during my weekly check. I treated the whole...

    Pure BCM or mixed chicks? Black combs

    Curious about these chicks hatched out by our broody. The farm I got the eggs from breeds BCM, Amerucanas, and I believe maybe Brahmas too? Anyways since hatch they have been completely black, bottoms of their feet and their combs too. Just curious if these are pure BCM and if so will they grow...

    All black chicks, possible olive eggers?

    My first time broody hen hatched out two beautiful all black chicks this morning! These are not her eggs and are eggs I purchased from a local breeder who breeds mostly black copper marans and Ameraucanas but also does crosses of the two. She told me the eggs I purchased could be pure of either...

    First time Broody Questions

    Hello everyone! After hours of internet scouring and research I still find I have questions regarding my first time broody. My black Orpington/ Welsummer cross has gone broody a month after she started laying. After a few (albeit haphazard) attempts to break her broodyness, I caved and found a...

    Black Australorp with blue earlobes?

    Hey everyone! Coming to the experts for some help. Is it normal for Australorps to have blue earlobes? I supposedly purchased two barred Plymouth rocks from a local breeder. While one grew into a beautiful barred rock, the other is very clearly not lol. When I asked the breeder she said she may...

    5 week(ish) black Orpington/Welsummer

    Hey all! Looking to see if the all black chick (named Scarfy) pictured is looking like a pullet? I know the sibling (Named Frizzle) is probably a cockerel based on the comb and wattles. I was also told their hatch date was 1/22 but I feel they are bit small for 7 weeks. They were severely sick...

    5 cockerels?

    Hey everyone! Looking for a shred of hope. We purchased 5 Rhode Island Reds straight run to start our back yard flock. Getting sexed pullets are nearly impossible right now with all our local hatcheries selling out almost instantly. The feed store we purchased from said they tried to give us all...

    5 week chicks recovering from coccidia

    Hello! I am reaching out to see if there are any suggestions to my particular case. I went to pick up three black Orpington chicks who were supposed to be around 5 weeks. When I got there the lady gave them to me for free because “she was just trying to get rid of them.” At the initial look they...
