    Injured rooster toe

    Hi! My rooster injured his toe about two weeks ago, not sure how he did it but I’m guessing it was hardware cloth that cut it. I’ve been wrapping it daily, rinsing with hydrogen peroxide, drying then spraying a healing aid for chickens on it. It now looks like this and I’m not sure if this is...

    Aggressive chick in incubator

    Hi! I have an almost 20ish hour old chick and one that’s only an hour at the most old. The older one keeps pecking it and being aggressive! How do I stop it? The oldest isn’t dry enough to move out of the incubator. The picture is blurry but that’s the mean one!

    Not sure what’s wrong with 2 day old chick

    At first I thought it was a slipped tendon on the right side but I am unable to feel if the tendon is out of place. The left leg is pushing behind and rotated but I’m not sure if that’s to try to balance out the other leg? I’ve been trying different things for the chick to sit in but it keeps...

    Baby chick with leg issue

    Help! The second chick that my hen hatched has a leg issue and I’m not sure how to treat. FYI I am not going to cull the chick. It looks very healthy, is just over 24 hours old. It was stuck in the shell over 24 hours so I removed some shell during the hatching process and let the hen do the...

    Newly hatched chick with hen

    Hi guys! My broody Easter Egger hatched one chick so far, maybe two by today if the other egg didn't quit. The chick hatched yesterday afternoon I'm guessing. I moved her, the chick and the other egg into a brood box separate from the other hens and roosters inside the coop this morning. My...

    Rooster mating with 4 month old pullet

    Hi! My australorp rooster was trying to mate with my ~4 month old Starlight Green Egger. She’s still very tiny, just bigger than a pigeon I’d say. He’s a huge guy, almost closer to Jersey Giant size. Does this mean she’s close to laying or is he being too aggressive? My other hens run from him...

    Egg bound or broody?

    Hi! My hen who is just over a year old (Easter Egger) has been in the nesting box A LOT. She was in possibly all last night and majority of the day today. The past two days frequently, more yesterday. She is making really low short clucks and almost “growls” when other hens go near her. She has...

    Broken beak on 4.5 month old chick

    Hi! My Rhode Island Red somehow broke the tip of her beak today. No clue how or when it happened just noticed as I was trying to integrate her into my flock at bedtime on the roosts. Needless to say that’s waiting, she’s back in the brooder box with the other two until her beak is better. I...

    Rooster not sharing treats with hens, acting aggressive!

    One of my roosters does not share his treats with the hens, he eats it first! I have tried giving him his own treats by hand to see if he will share with the hens after he eats some( and feed) but as soon as my hand is empty he attacks/spurs me. He has been increasingly aggressive towards us. We...

    Stinky sand!

    Hi everyone! I switched to sand last fall for my coop due to the cost of shavings being too much. The sand just stinks like ammonia! We do a thorough cleaning of poop but have to buy/diy poop boards under their roosts. There are two small open vents and a small window that’s open to help with...

    Make or female?

    Hi! I need help figuring out if my expected pullets may actually be Roos. They are about 6-7 weeks old. The one with the different colored neck (Starlight Green Egger) is making me think she is a he. The Rhode Island Red I am also unsure of too. The Prairie Bluebell Egger (gray) I’m confident is...
