Our 5yr old EE hen attempted to lay a soft shelled egg 5 weeks ago. She had a prolapsed vent. My husband pulled out what he could of the broken egg and pushed her vent back in. She has appeared fine since. Two days ago I found a lash egg in her favorite nest box. I assume it was her...... this...

I had a hen come down with a horrible gurgling sound two days ago. Strange cough like sounds too. She is a Blue Copper Maran that is 2.5yrs old. No other symptoms. I confined her to a crate in the basement. Treating her with Tylan 50 twice a day at a dose of .5ml. This morning I went out to...

I was gifted a bunch of chicks. 2 I know for sure are pullets (their pictures not included). These guys...well, I am pretty sure they are all roos- but one or two keep throwing me fore a loop. Can you please confirm for me?? I have never raised barred rocks or any mixed like this before..... not...

Looking to find a home for 3 little cockerels. They are 4 weeks old.... handsome little things, that can not stay. They have a barred rock dad and mom could be buff orpington , speckled sussex or barred rock (making them purebred). I can't tell what is what, as they were given to me. I'm looking...

So I thought my hen had vent gleet. Nasty chicken butt. I brought her into the cool part of our basement, gave her a warm bath and cleaned her up. Treating it as vent gleet with ACV water concentrated, etc. This morning I woke to two eggs in the crate with her - one without a shell. She had just...

My pullet somehow broke her toe. A chicken foot looks kinda like a W. The outer left toe was broke high up so that the whole toe close the v shape on that side of the foot. She has been kept in a xlarge dog crate to heal up (she also had another injury that the other hens were pecking at......)...

Hi- My favorite bird of all time is a 3.5 year old mix. He has had a rough year.... frost bite last winter, a broken leg this summer, and now this...... he is acting different for sure. It appears as though he has something going on in the brain- he circles, stumbles, carries his wings...

I have a beautiful bird that is a barnyard mix. But we can not seem to decide on what sex it is! Currently is about 13 weeks old. What do you all think???? I say rooster... but husband says pullet..... and yesterday I saw another cockerel do "the dance" around this bird. Would a cockerel dance...

We are looking to find a one of a kind home for our rooster Big Red. He is really a one of a kind rooster.... gentle, friendly and gorgeous. He is about 3 years old. He was a victim of frost bite and is missing the points on his comb- still handsome boy though! The reason we would like to find...

We have four young roosters looking for new homes. These boys were hatched by us and are a wonderful mix of backyard breeds. (1) Easter egger.... hatched from a olive green egg and has a pea comb. Beautiful deep red and copper coming in. (2) Barred rock / silver dorking / mutt - handsome...

Hello- I am on day three of my first hatch. 10 marans eggs in my LG 9200 still air incubator with egg turner. One problem I have is the temp is fluctuating now that I have an egg turner in it. First day I did not have one- but before I put the eggs in, it held perfect temp (on the mesh) for 5...

This morning my husband let the chickens out and noticed our favorite rooster Big Red limping really badly. No visible injury- so we assume he injured himself while jumping off the roost. The leg moves all directions- not just one direction like the good leg. He is limping pretty bad, rests on...

I am offering for sale a handsome black birchen marans cockerel that is now 14 weeks old. He is a handsome boy, well mannered with me and the kids and is great with the ladies. Never seen him aggressive, always submissive to humans and our dog (who tends to visit at the fence). He will be a...

We have a broody hen- who due to unforeseen issues with our other broody hen - had a large clutch that had staggered hatch days. So far 8 of the 10 expected to hatch this weekend had hatched. We removed the chicks as they dried- with hopes that she would stay on the nest with the remaining 4...

We decided to move one of our broody hens last night in with the other broody hen. We divided up the chicken tractor box into two boxes- they could not see each other unless one went out of the box into the pen area. Well this morning, the hen we moved went out but did not go back to her eggs...

We have only hatched with a broody hen once. This year two hens went broody at the same time. We moved one hen with her clutch to her own pen. While trying to figure out where we wanted to put the other hen- we let her stay in the coop with the rest of the flock. 2 days into it we found that...

Hello- I am offering for sale two handsome blue splash marans who are now about 13 weeks old and one birchen marans cockerel that is 14 weeks old. Their father is a blue birchen marans and it is unknown who their mother's are. One splash is clean legged and the other has feathers on the legs...

My brother in law hatched some chicks for us..... out of 24 eggs, we came home with 6 chicks. He apparently has not perfected hatching yet........ anyways- we have two chicks that seem to be a work in progress. One is starting to walk around better, eyes are almost opened most of the time and I...

We have a pullet that is about 5 weeks old. She is different then the other splash marans we have- as her "white" is more lavender or pale grey in color, with blue splashes. It is beautiful and certainly stands out next to a splash that is white with blue splashes. Her sister is a blue marans...

We purchased some mixed variety of marans and it looks as though 3 are birchen / black coppers marans. Does anyone have any pictures of this combination all grown up? The wings have copper in them and the neck/chest areas are looking like grey coming in. Thanks.
