    Pullet eggs

    I have a hen that’s 1 year and 3 months old, been laying for a while now and her eggs are still pretty small like pullet sized. The majority of hers never hatch either, they develop but die before hatching. Will her eggs get to normal size eventually or is she just a dud? Is there anything I can...

    Kikiriki color type

    What are the color types of these kikiriki chicks? Trying to see if these would be a good breeding group. Is the rooster like a mauve or does that even exist in kikirikis. What color babies could this group produce? I also have a few frizzled seramas in the coop with them

    Pullet walking low to the ground

    I have an almost laying pullet that is walking low to the ground and laying down a lot. Is this normal behavior? Could she already be egg bound? She seems perfectly besides this behavior, has a good appetite, drinking, her comb is getting redder, she still likes to free range and hang out with...

    Chick holding tail down

    I have a 9 week old rooster that has started holding its tail down, it’s always dropping downward for the past 4 days. Is this an injury or a symptom of illness? It’s eating, drinking, slightly loose poop but no blood and acting pretty normal, maybe a little less spunky than he usually is. We...

    Vaccines

    Are there any vaccines that the public can buy to vax chicks younger than 8 weeks old specifically for fowl pox and that can be shipped or bought in Texas? Every option I’m finding says for 8 weeks or older and I really don’t want to have to keep any new chicks in the house for 10+ weeks but I...

    Fowl pox on chick

    This poor baby has had fowl pox for weeks now. Should I just cull her? how long will this last? It doesn’t seem to be improving at all, I’m doing iodine, vetericyn and neosporin to treat but the scabs aren’t falling off and more are developing. Also giving her a boiled egg a day and rooster...

    Easter egger chicks look different than parents

    My broody hen just hatched out a few chicks and they look nothing like the parents looked as chicks. All my Easter eggers had the classic chipmunk look and these 2 babies came out looking like silver and tan Yorkies (yes the dog breed). I know Easter eggers are just mixed breeds but I got these...

    Hello I have 2 bantam Easter eggers that are 9 weeks old, this morning I noticed 2 are squinting one of their eyes each.

And...
