    BCM pullet or roo?

    These BCM chicks are about 7 weeks old. One of these used to be much bigger, with a taller, pinker comb, and now they're at an age where they look the same. They're purebred, and the only other difference I can see is that one has greener tail feathers, and the hackle colors are more pronounced...

    Is this rooster damage? Or does she have something else going on?

    My poor hen Violet has been off the past two days. She came down with some sticky, yellow-y diarrhea. I noticed her overnight poop looked mucus-y and yellow too, and there was a lot. I gave her an epsom salt soak and cleaned her bottom, but she lays down a lot. Is she stressed out from the...

    Here is a photo of rooster saddle feathers just as they start to come in.

    Hello all! I hope you find this as interesting as I do! I have some 10 week old chicks who are all starting to present as male, and this one is particularly cool to me. One of his peer chicks ate the feathers off his back after one night of me forgetting to put their feeder back, so now I...

    Is this a blood ring (death ring)?

    It's hard to get a good picture but that line along the side encircles the veins all around. We are on day 7.

    Two lame guinea hen chicks

    Hi! I was wondering if anyone here has experience raising guineas. My friend got 10 guinea hens and she's been keeping them in a metal trough with a heat lamp in a well-built shed room. As far as I can tell, she isn't doing anything wrong. But one of the hens stopped growing and went lame so...

    6 week old chick eating other chick feathers!

    Hi! I'm in a real bind here. I have seven chicks that are 6-7 weeks old and one of them recently started picking at their back feathers. I noticed it yesterday, and today, two of the other chicks have lost tons of feathers from her picking! She's eating them! 😱 they are all on chick starter and...

    Is this a roo?? ~6 weeks old

    The colors have me suspicious but nothing else is glaring. It does sit higher in its legs than the others, but my olive egger chicks from last year did that too so it's hard to say... it's an olive egger chick as well.

    Can my broody hen hatch and raise chicks?

    Hi! I have a blue Wyandotte hen who went broody, and she seemed very committed to it, so I let her keep two eggs. I candled them around day 6 and day 10 and they were developing just fine. She is now 3 days from hatching, and I'm wondering: what are the chances she can hatch and raise them with...

    Super frayed tailed feathers

    Hi, I have this recurring thing and I don't know if it's an issue or not. My oldest hens are only 1 year old, and they all molted back in Nov/Dec. Some of the younger hens are anywhere between 8-11 months old. I usually look at their feathers to monitor their health, and we have been through...

    Hen losing weight and possibly picking feathers

    Hi all, I have a hen who has all the normal spunk and energy in the world. She's just finishing a molt and has been laying off and on, as recently as yesterday. Her appetite is good too, she fills her crop every evening before bed. However, I'm worried because she is definitely on the slim...

    Came up with a new treat time routine

    Hey all, If anyone is having trouble with their hens bullying others during treat time, you could try putting a fence between them. It seems to help a lot with my flock! If I give them a treat that stays on the board (the seeds roll off the back a bit), they can fit their heads through the...

    I am so demoralized at this point...

    These past few months have been such a long tapeworm battle, and I thought we finally reached the end but today, I found another poop in the yard full of worms. Just two nights ago, I discovered lice on my chickens while they were on the roost. I am in the middle of a horrible cold, raising 3...

    This is molting, right?

    Hi friends! It's been a while since I've been able to hang out here. Busy times gearing up for winter. Well, I got 4 new Brahma girls last Friday. 3 are young, but 1 is almost two years old and her previous owner said she's going through a hard molt right now. She's a beautiful mottled girl...

    Is this scaly leg mites?

    My roo has had some dirty looking feet for about a month now, and it looks like he's starting to show scale damage but I can't tell if it's mites or shedding because he's still molting.

    Attempting to integrate a new roo to the flock

    Hi all, Just wanted to share this for anyone who is curious. Details: I have a flock of 15 with a roo who is good natured and about 1 year old. He is an OE/Ameraucana mix. A contractor doing work for us saw our flock and coop and asked if we'd be able to take a roo he can't keep due to the...

    My OEs lay very different eggs

    Hello friends! Check this out - I have two Olive Eggers who looks verrry similar, but their eggs are quite different. To be fair, one of them just started laying and has only laid 3 eggs so far, but they all have been speckled to one degree or another so I'm assuming it will last. Finding...

    Dealing with tapeworm, has anyone tried this remedy?

    Hi all, I am dealing with a tapeworm infestation. It started with 3, then got up to 5, now I'm not sure who still has it but someone does. I have been using Equimax but it's been kind of a pain and I was looking up other approaches for easier application. I found this on Amazon. I don't know if...

    I got a chicken on my foot

    Her name is Teddy. I thought she was going to jump on my lap, then she turned and went for my boot lol. She's got the biggest personality of all my hens. She used to be the boss until we got a roo. She moped for a day but then accepted him and became a top hen instead. I just wanted to share...

    Watch this hawk get pestered by crows 😁👍🐦‍⬛

    Hi all! Just thought some of you might be entertained by this. I'm so happy to see the crows at work. The hawks have been super active lately! Every day I hear two red shouldered hawks, and one red tail hawk screeches in the distance about once or twice a week. Here's a link to my video:
