I recently adopted a mistreated Polish hen and kept her under my watch for 16 days to ensure she was without disease, of course, I would allow the others to mingle with her from time to time or see her and they all seemed to be getting along, but recently when I moved them into my coop she began...

I just got a Silkie/Golden Hamburg chick for free and would like to know how they look when they get older. If any of you have any advice that would be great and pictures would be awesome too.

Can you name the pros and cons of each breed? I've always loved D'Uccles and it's one of my members of the future dream flock, but I'm not sure if I want a Silkie more or not. Does anyone have any experience with either of these breeds? If so I'd be thankful if you'd add some input. I'm looking...

Okay, so I have three, three week old chicks (one Golden Laced Wyandotte, one Cuckoo Maran, and one Barred Plymouth Rock). They all grew up at around the same size and went through changes together, even welcoming the four other chicks when I got them in the brooder. But, recently the Wyandotte...

My new Brahma has a little bald spot under her wing, should I be worried? The other chickens aren't picking at it, just nothing is growing there. She is only around four days old, but rather safe then sorry. My other four day olds don't have this which is why I'm posting it online. Pretty much...

I was looking at Buff Brahma chicks online and mine look nothing like them, here is a picture of my Buff Brahma. They don't have the golden head or black body like the ones on McMurray's youtube channel/google images and I'm a bit concerned. My little brother and the Buff Brahma -

I started off with 3, the legal amount, but then I really wanted a Buff Brahma and had room in my coop and after that Easter Eggers looked so cute.. Needless to say I went from 3 to 7 and I'm over twice the legal amount at this point.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=552509 Please, please, please read that. I need to know what's going on and if they actually have Avian encephalomyelitis, if this is against the rules I'm sorry. I just NEED to find out what is wrong with them to save them. I can't lose...

Now my Buff Brahma is acting weird like Hazel did before she died today. She is 3 days old and has yellow/green poop and can't sit still, it is so sad. She keeps twitching when she tries sleeping. It is hard to describe, but every second or two she will jerk her head up and then slowly bring it...

Here are some pictures of my little brother with the new chicks, hope you all enjoy the photos! - Basil - Conseula - Lola - Lucy - Pepper - Susan Haven't got around to taking pictures of Gertrude yet, but she is adorable!

Oh god, my favourite little chick, my Welsummer has been acting weird lately and not doing anything at all really but sleeping (she hardly even eats and drinks), I thought it was normal and she would be fine, but I just went to go check on them and she is breathing heavily and can't move or get...

I have three 16 day old chicks, three 9 day old, and one three day old. The nights here get to about 66F and sometimes even 70F I'm just wondering when it is considered alright to move them out.

When I take my chicks outside in the sun to sit around in the grass the other chicks always travel in a group, but for some reason my one Welsummer never seems to leave my side or move at all from where I place her. Should I be concerned? She isn't foraging or developing some skills that I think...

So, I couldn't resist this new chick I saw at the local feeder store while getting some feed today and now I've placed the bar even higher for my new chicken coop for when the chicks get older. I already had one in mind that my friend was going to sell me for 150, but I think it is a bit to...

My chicks will do anything to get away from me when I try holding them. I've already tried breathing gently on them and cupping them with their head sticking out, feeding them treats, and letting them eat out of my hand, but none of them seem to like me at all. My Cuckoo Maran, Australorp, and...

Last week I was lucky enough to get a Cuckoo Maran, Golden Laced Wynadotte, and a Plymouth Barred Rock for free, all of which were newly hatched and adorable. Well, these happened to be my first chickens and although I was completely prepared for these little balls of love, I really wanted to...
