    Rooster Breeding Injury

    Hello! My mother-in-law just gave me her two salmon favorelles; her rooster clearly had favorites, and their saddles are so worn off 😞 One has a wound under her wing - it looks ok for now, I just put some blu kote on it. For both their saddles - is there anything I can do to promote feather...

    Olive Egger Q's??

    I have a two week old Olive Egger (supposedly) pullet right now, and I guess I am a little confused on the breed in general. When I look up pictures, they all look different...

    All Things Sourdough!

    :frow I'm new to BYC! I love my sweet chickens and baking all kinds of sourdough treats! In my mind sourdough and chickens go hand in hand - anyone else in the BYC community also addicted to sourdough in the same way as chickens? I'm always looking for more recipes or even helpful tips! Feel...

    Hello!!

    Hello everyone! I'm very excited to be here! I previously owned chickens about 10 years ago and have recently gotten back into owning them again! Right now I have 4 chickens, but will have 6 after this evening! I recently lost two of my pullets that were only 5 weeks old over the weekend (it was...
