I have 3 chickens. 2 of them have these black areas on their face. The other chicken is black so I can't tell if she is affected. noticed it 2 weeks ago. The area looks kind of fuzzy. Have looked everywhere I could find and haven't been able to see anything that looks like this. Could it be a...

2 of my 3 little boys have jumped up at me and scratched my arm. On purpose. Both times I was giving them new food and water and they came into the cage to jump at me. Is this normal behavior? My girls have always been so sweet. (except for Penny who only pecks me when I am petting other...

I have 4 polish 10 weeks old. I am leaning toward Roos for 3 of them. What do y'all think? Also, do curved tail feathers always mean Roo? All have curving tail feathers. And the red markings on the faces all look like this pic below.... Thanks!

Now that my 2 month old Polish chicks are free ranging with my 3 big red stars, I am having a problem. They all get along but the food situation is not good. I leave food and water in the small coop I have for the chicks and the hens are eating the chick starter. I read on here that getting...

Hi Everyone! I have three red sex link hens. I tried to add a few polish (5) and made the mistake of getting straight-run. Now it looks like I have only one female and 3 males. The farmer I bought the polish from said I could return any roosters since I can't have them. Big mistake! I...

I have 3 red sex link that are a little over a year old. I raised 4 polish babies from day-olds and they are now 8 weeks old. 8 days ago, I moved the chicksb outside to a little prefab coop about 15 feet from the main coop. My girls are very interested in the chicks. Of course, when I have...

I had 2 of my 6 polish chicks die for no apparent reason. So I put them on Terra-vet (almost done with 2 week regimen). And also on Vitamins & Electrolytes. The 4 chicks are in Great shape. They are definitely healthy now. How long should i keep up with the vitamins & electrolytes?

Here is a link to a video of my 4 week old Polish chicks. Christine (blue) and Lexi (black) are trying to decide who's the biggest and baddest.

This is Lexi at 3.5 weeks with the other blues. All her new feathers seem to be either black or black and white(see beneath wings) I can't seem to post a second pic. will do another post.

I have four 3 week old polish chicks. I want to start taking them outside (to a pen) when the weather is warm during the day. They got loose a couple of days ago and they were freaking out with me trying to catch them even though they love my hand and sit on it all the time. My enclosure for...

When I put my five 2 day old chicks in their enclosure on pine shavings they started eating them. And I had one chick with pasty butt I had to fix. So I read on here to use wood pellets so I changed. I really don't like the wood pellets. They are not warm for the chicks and there is not...

Well, I raised my 3 RSL to hens so I thought I knew what I was doing. Now I'm stuck. I have 5 polish chicks 1 week old. First I put them on pine shavings like I did with the first and they started eating them. So they are on paper towels. One chick started getting it's butt fuzz picked off...

I have 5 polish chicks 5 days old. The 2 silver-laced have black coloring on their beaks. Will this fade away or does it stay there? I can use it to tell them apart right now....

HI! I have 3 red star 1 year old. I am going to get 3 more chicks (don't worry, I won't integrate them until the new ones are really big and they will be gradually introduced) I definitely want a polish. They are so cute I just have to have one. Anyway, I have been reading alot on here and...

I have 3 RSL chickens who are about a year old. I am bringing in a polish, an EE and a SLW. My question is about introducing them to the 3 hens I have. I have read to bring them in the coop at night and place them next to the hens. My hens sleep on the highest roost about 4 1/2 feet off...

I have 3 RSL chickens almost a year old. My coop is 6x8 and my run is 6x8. The coop inside is wonderful (thanks to all the help here). My run has a dirt floor and I am concerned about the dirt. The same dirt has been in there since the end of May. I almost never see poop in the run. I...

I have 3 red sex link chickens that were born the beginning of March. They all started laying eggs at 5 months and I got 3 eggs a day for months. For the last month I have only been getting 2 eggs a day every day. I don't know which chicken isn't laying. I have checked them all for crop...

I have been lurking here at BYC since last August. Finally got my 3 Red Star chicks in March. They are 2 months old now and I am in love. They already sit on my lap to be petted and jump up on my shoulders. I have a great 6x8 coop with a 6x8 attached covered run and it is totally secured...
