    Chick leg issue.

    Hi guys I have a Chocolate Cochin chick with a leg deformity. The mom would not sit in the right nest in the cold weather so her eggs went could and I took them in for incubation. Everyone but one hatched in great health. Initially I thought this was curled toes but I don’t think that’s the...

    Broody Hen now a mom

    Hi just a quick question for some insight on what you would do. I have a hen in a broody box with some chicks. It’s been super cold out but I was wondering if she and the chicks would fair well if I put them out with the rest of the flock. I think it would be better for them but wanted some insight.

    Broody Hen with no Eggs!!!

    I have a chocolate Cochin who has been consistently laying throughout December. The past few days she’s gone broody. It excites me and we’ve had hens go broody but when I checked to see how many she had I found none. She sat their broody on nothing for 3 days. Thankfully I saved 13 of the eggs...

    Red/purple poo

    Found some red/purple poo from our 13 week old chicks. Was only one chick pooping this. It’s almost like a jelly beet root red I read this could be normal for shedding if it’s lining in the intestines. But that it could also be coccidiosis. We do have corid on hand. We also have goat wormer. How...

    Silkie/Ameraucana mix

    We have a beautiful chocolate silkie/ameraucana mix. He/She was essentially a mistake out of an ameraucana egg. A little surprise. The lady who sold and incubated the eggs was upfront about the cross breed mistake and we gladly took the bird. He/she is over 13 weeks and fully integrated with our...

    Urgent! Coryza?

    My parents decided to buy 4 birds for $2 each at our local swap. Against my opinion. I instantly didn’t like the conditions the birds were in but they got them. Fast forward 3 days. Pretty sure 2 developed infectious Coryza. My question is what to treat this with, more aggressively. And what’s...

    Silkie breeding

    I’m very confused. I currently have a frizzle silkie hen with a naked neck. Am I right to assume a frizzle satin would be bred out of her if I gave her a satin roo. https://img1.wsimg.com/isteam/ip/c4049bac-f572-4055-bd1d-0d8472a9a793/Screen%20Shot%202023-12-25%20at%204.42.48%20PM.png

    Introducing 30+ chicks to flock off 14

    Our biggest worry: We have a run and coop more than large enough for our small 14 chicken flock. But it’s coming time for our chicks to join them. There are roughly 30-35 chicks all 10-12 weeks old. We’re looking for the best tips on integrating them in as safely as possible. They are currently...

    Ameraucana

    I’ve just returned from my day to find out Ameraucana suddenly uninterested in eating or walking. I picked her up and sudden diarrhea, watery fell to the floor but I’m unable to get a picture as I didn’t see where exactly it landed. She was hatched here. No cuts or anything I can see.

    White face black Spanish

    I noticed it’s very hard to sex my 11 week white face black Spanish chicks. One chick does have a brighter red in the comb however. I’m thinking it might be a roo? Pictures of both of my white face below.

    Buff Orpington Not active at all

    Since yesterday morning I noticed our buff Orpington wanting to do nothing but lay down. She’s an old girl, probably in her last year of laying but I noticed a strange walk and she is pooping fine. Today I came home from work to find her laying down outside the coop, shaking her head...

    White created blue polish

    Was wondering if the white crested blue polish is only possibly by breeding other blues or if it’s possible to create through breeding white crested black with white polish. Or would that only make splash
