    White on comb

    I’ve noticed these little white patches on my buff Brahma’s comb. She’s acting normal and otherwise looks okay. She just went through a super hard molt but looks so much better now. All the other chickens are fine and don’t have anything on their combs. I’ve looked up pictures of Favus…I’m not...

    Vitamin Deficiency - 28 week old hen

    I have a Wheaton olive egger that started showing vitamin deficiency signs about 2 weeks ago. Started as a limp, I thought she hurt her leg so I separated her to a cage to rest. Then she got worse and she was very wobbly/could only scoot around a tiny bit. Once I realized it could be a vitamin...

    14 weeks - Chocolate Orpington

    This is my 14 week old chocolate Orpington. I’ve assumed it’s probably a cockerel since 5/6ish weeks when its comb was bigger and had more color than all the others. I know Orpingtons can have bigger combs but my buff Orpington from the same hatch day has a small comb with barely any color. I...

    Swedish Flower : Hen or roo?

    I got this chick from a hatchery as a pullet but I’m questioning things 😂 Swedish flower hen - 11 weeks old It was one of the sweetest chicks I’ve ever had - red flag #1 😂 It did develop a comb a little quicker with a little more color but it’s stayed consistently pinker than my other...

    I don’t see mites..should I treat anyways?

    I’ve had a hen missing neck feathers for a while now - I’ve posted about her before. I came to the conclusion she was being plucked by another one of the hens. But now I have a couple more hens missing neck feathers within the past couple weeks. The feathers on their back are also messy/fluffy...

    I think I hatched 4/5 Roos

    I posted a couple weeks ago…I’m back with my 4 week old chicks and I think I hatched 4 cockerels and 1 pullet 😂 1. 4 week old Easter egger x Orpington. I’m feeling pretty confident she’s a pullet. 2. 4 week old Easter egger x Orpington. I was so confident she was a pullet but within the last...

    Hens or Roos?

    I know, I know 😂 It’s way too early. These chicks are a few days away from 3 weeks old. I hatched them and I’m being impatient. So just for fun while I’m waiting for a few more weeks - what’s your best educated guess on hen or roo for these 5 chicks? 4 are Easter egger x jubilee Orpington and...

    Red/irritated neck

    My hen started molting around her neck in the fall and then I had a rooster that was overmating her and continued plucking out her neck feathers (I no longer have this rooster). I’ve noticed her feathers starting to come back in for the past couple weeks. Today I noticed this bright red spot...

    One egg not losing as much?

    First let me say this is my first time hatching eggs - it’s such an amazing experience. I have 5 eggs in my nurture right 360. All seem to be developing great from what I can tell. Temp is 99.5 and humidity Ive keeping around 35-45. I weighed eggs at 6 days, 13 days and just now at 16 days. 4...

    Silkie…rooster?

    I started questioning if my silkie hen was really a hen at 11 weeks. “He” is a rooster right? He’s 16 weeks and I’m feeling pretty certain now 😂 But he hasn’t crowed yet that I’ve heard. This is my first silkie so what are we thinking?

    Rooster - bruised foot

    I noticed yesterday my rooster (15 weeks old) was limping around the run! It looked like his toe could possibly be broken - no open cuts or anything like that. I put him in a coop in my garage because the hens were chasing after him and jumping on him. I have a camera out in the run but my wifi...

    Sneezing and poopy!

    Latest update: she’s now standing and closing her eyes some and opening her mouth just a little like she’s trying harder to breathe. I’ve noticed over the past week or 2 one hen (blue Orpington) has been making a different noise. I wasn’t sure if it was a cough, sneeze, or just a chicken...

    Leftover Starter Feed!

    My girls are coming up on 8 weeks! I’ll have lots of leftover starter feed. I hate wasting it so what does everyone do with leftover starter? Continue feeding some/mix with grower feed? Throw it out? Save for next round of chicks - I’m not sure how long it’s good for?
