    What breed am I?

    I have never had a crested breed before. This is my free one from Murray McMurray. It’s already adorable. It struck the pose in the picture and held it until I was done trying to get a decent photo! Thank you in advance.

    NPIP question Texas

    I purchased a pair of bantam Wyandotte’s. They are NPIP certified, it expires the end of this month. Is it possible to transfer their certification to me? I have searched the internet, I called the phone number listed on NPIP.org website. No answer & voicemail full. I will be keeping them...

    Thank you BYC again

    I couldn’t find the thread I read that was so helpful, so I’m putting this here. A reply in said thread explained proper rooster behavior. As I read it I realized that my rooster was not treating the hens properly. He would ‘ambush’ to breed them. One hen in particular seemed to dislike him...

    I know I have a problem when

    I don’t know if this is the right place for this. I love sitting outside every day with my chickens. I hired someone to mow the lawn while my husband is out of town. He is coming today. I had hoped that he would be here earlier. When he told me it would be 6 when he would get here, I asked if...

    Egg bound? Calcium deficiency? HAPPY ENDING

    I am posting this because this hen is alive due to the help given by so many, to so many! I went out to the coop and this hen was splayed out on her back. I gently palpated, no response. I set her carefully on her feet. She went under the nesting boxes & laid an egg. She still looked horrible...

    Breed please

    He is a couple weeks older now. Big, gorgeous, gentle & sweet. I don’t know if he is a particular breed or barnyard mix. He appears to have been handled a lot. I have not been able to find his owner. He showed up in the doggy’s yard, adjacent to the chickens. He is now living with my hens...

    Australian Shepherd owners, tips please!

    A little background on me. In the 90s I owned & trained obedience dogs. My dogs are always trained using motivation. We won many competitions, we being myself, Crystal & Oscar. Crystal & Oscar were German Shorthairs. I have always had hunting breeds, and my shorthairs all had hunting titles. I...

    Supposed to be a Black Star pullet

    Thank you to @NatJ for looking at an older post of mine & pointing out that this chicken is 3 months old. Not Two months old. I think it’s a cockerel. Can someone please confirm sex, if possible. If anyone has a clue as to breed that would be appreciated!

    JERSEY GIANT???

    I thought Gene was a Jersey Giant because he (I assume) has the correct leg & bottom of foot colors. I got him from Murray McMurray as my free chick with my RIRs. He is noticeably larger than my RIR, and has been since day 1. I cannot find this color in JG. Pictures are at 3.5 weeks and 7 weeks.

    Saved ‘Gene’ and have to share with people who understand!

    Some of you know that I had eight week old chicks when I left for vacation. A relative was staying in my house and was (I thought) a very responsible person. In under two weeks all my chicks were gone except one 😭. I gave her to a neighbors grandson. That was early June of this year. I have 3+...

    Black Giant roo over RIR just wondering

    I think my mystery chick might be a Black Jersey Giant. I’m assuming it’s a roo, received it with my order of RIR. Made me start wondering what the offspring would be if I bred him to a RIR hen. Has anyone done this? I am not familiar with this breed, what I have read makes me think I...

    Thank you BYC

    I love this forum, I have read and learned so much. When my RIR chicks arrived yesterday I had one with a leg problem. I knew I had seen this on BYC, so I went through the rabbit hole looking at so many different options and ideas. There were a couple of threads that were especially helpful...

    I’ve settled on RIR. Now I have a question.

    Here’s my situation. I got my first chickens in 1983. The information available now is mind boggling. I have learned so much on BYC! I have only purchased chicks 3 times between then & now. Well 4 times including the 2.5 week old chicks I have now. I have Black Star & ISA Brown chicks...

    Looking for roos, no hurry. TX sw of Houston

    Howdy! I see that there are (unfortunately) a lot of roosters needing homes. I am looking for two Rhode Island Red (RIR) or Barred Rock (BR). One of each, or however it works out. Older roos are welcome, but I do not want an older aggressive roo! I have chicks, so I am not in a hurry. These...

    10 days old, at the most. Are they more developed than normal? Probably just me 😁

    These are black star & isa brown from Hoover’s hatchery. I haven’t raised a lot of chicks, but these look bigger than I remember at this age. I’m not good at taking pictures, so I’ll apologize now for them. One is of Lucy, chiweenie, wanting ‘her’ chick.

    Heartbroken 💔

    For the first time I was able to travel from TX to Seattle to see my grandsons. They are 15 & 12. I hired a relative who has come for multiple visits to stay in the house and take care of my kitty & ladies. He has visited so many times I knew he would take exceptional care of everything. He...

    Non emergency broken beak

    I had an old hen whose time had come. I went in to the coop today to get her. As she tried to get away from me she ran into a board & broke her beak. It broke right below her nostrils. It was completely attached, blood was coming from her nostrils and mouth. I dispatched her quickly, hopefully...

    Pictures of Ready the debeaked hen

    I had asked her help with Ready and was given great advice! I was asked for pictures. I finally got some taken. I hope they help people who are unaware of the damage this cruel practice does. We can never learn enough.

    Howdy

    I’m new & I’m not :) I know I was a member in 2015 because I have data in Evernote from BYC. When I recently went to sign in I wasn’t able to, so I created a new account. I have had chickens for 30+ years and feel like I know nothing :) BYC is the absolute best place for poultry lovers! Thank...
