    GAPEWORM - how to clean coop & run

    I took one of my hens to the vet yesterday. Another of my chickens passed away suddenly this week and this one started looking sick too. The vet confirmed my flock has gapeworm! He started all my birds on fenbendazol. The receptionist told me I should wait a day and then clean my coop and run so...

    New hen has white around her eye

    I got these hens day before yesterday. They’re still in quarantine kept separate from my flock. This one has one eye that appears to have a white ring around it. It seems bigger today and I’m not sure if she can see out of it. What could cause this and should I be concerned about infecting my...

    13-14 week old buff Orpington, still look like roo?

    This is one of my favorites and my only buff Orpington. I thought maybe it was a rooster because of the red comb and the neck feathers, but I saw 3 adult BO hens today that look really similar.

    Cockerels or pullets?

    These are my two 8-9 week old chicks that I’m starting to worry about. One of them (at least) is crowing in the mornings. Can you tell which is a cockerel? The tan chick is a Buff Orpington. Not sure about the black one.

She’s been living with one standard size pullet who is ready now to join my two 11 week old pullets and one cockerel. That would...

    Gender of 8-10 week old Jubilee Orpington mixes?

    I have a chance to get some beautiful Jubilee Orpington mixes that are about 10 weeks old. Can you tell if they look like pullets or cockerels? Both parents are said to be mixed Jubilee Orpingtons. They are the big birds in the last two pictures. Thanks!!

    Hello from Oklahoma!

    Hi! I’m new to keeping chickens. I was given 5 newly hatched chicks by a friend in March but we didn’t know how to sex them. 3 of the 5 started crowing and developed cockerel characteristics, so I rehomed two of them. My remaining cockerel developed beautiful red and orange feathers on his grey...
