    What killed Apple?

    I am sick. My sweet Apple is dead. I’ve already lost another chicken this week to euthanasia so this is an extra slap to the face. I believe this is my fault. I was working late last night and assumed that another person in the home would lock the chickens up, like they normally do when they...

    Preening Behavior

    My big boy likes to preen me. It can be my shoe or my thighs/legs when I’m sitting. Does this mean he enjoys being around me? Here’s a picture of him sitting on my lap right after. 😊

    URGENT Skinny and sickly pullets- not sure what to do

    I have 15 chickens, all 14 weeks old. It started with one of my Jersey Giant girls. She has been having some strange behavior. Standing still, letting the other chicks knock her over, barely startled by anything, and had a “droopy” look to her. She would also close her eyes. I physically...

    Is this Sour Crop?

    Hi! I have a young Cornish Cross X Turken chick, who is doing great, but has recently had some strange stuff going on. His crop is squishy. Soft and squishy. His crop is normally firm and large, but it’s been “empty” and squishy feeling for 2 days now. He has also had straight liquid coming out...

    CHICKEN ATE MY EARRING!!

    I NEVER thought I would post this. I was visiting my 5-6 week old chicks in their run. They love to jump on me and perch on my shoulders and run around on my back. I was wearing (fake) pearl earrings! One of my chicks, Domino, decided to wrench it from my ear, jump off my shoulder, and make a...

    MASSIVE Turken Babies. Why?

    Hi! I discussed this on another person’s thread, but I would like to post pictures of my chicks and see what people would say. I have 2 Turken chicks I purchased from Tractor Supply around 4 weeks ago. They’re absolutely humongous compared to the other chicks. What could this be? Are they meat...

    Do I have Cockerels? More evidence!

    I'm back again to discuss if my Black Sex-links are truly cockerels! I KNOW they have to be but I'd like some confirmation anyway 😂 Well, what do you think? All three of my Sex-links have developed barring on their wings. They are around 3 weeks old. I'm using a picture of Pebbles as an example.

    Conjunctivitis in Chick! Please help!

    So I have a 2-3 week old chick that started exhibiting symptoms of conjunctivitis. She was making pained noises when scratching near her eyes, and she refused to open them for a long time. I held her against my chest, under my jacket, and she acted lethargic and shivering. I set her down and...

    Raising Cockerels and Pullets- Advice?

    At the moment, I have three confirmed cockerels, around 13 days old. I say confirmed because they are Black Sex-Links. They all display the white spotting on their heads. I may have two more cockerels, Turken cockerels. I assume they are male because I got them from the straight-run bin from...

    3 Sex-links are Little Roos?

    I would appreciate some opinions on the sexes of these chicks! These three all came from Tractor Supply and were labeled as straight run Black Sex-links. I researched online and found that the female chicks will hatch as fully black, while the males have white spots/coloring on their heads. All...
