I got this bird as a day old chick and was told it was a cream legbar. But this definitely doesn't look like one.

I've always had pine shavings in my coop. I've decided to now go with sand. It's been a couple months and I sift it twice a week and sprinkle DE after. But it really smells. It actually smells worse than the shavings. How can I cut down on the smell?

Got my brooder done!! I'm so happy to have a brooding area in my main coop!!

I just put my eggs in lockdown a half hour ago. I'm excited and nervous. I hope at least one of them will hatch!

I'm having trouble figuring out what is going on with one of my eggs. At day 2 I candled and it had a small black spot looks like its floating around in there. It didn't smell so I left it in there (none of the other eggs had this). Now at day 5 I see veins in there I couldn't see them before...

Hello everyone! Is it possible for my silkie rooster to mate with my golden comet and red star hens since he is smaller? Also if it is possible, will I be able to hatch those eggs out?

Hello everyone! I'm new to this site and this is my first time owning chickens. They are almost 5 months old and my rooster keeps pulling on the comb of one of my hens. He only does it to her and it's like he is trying to shake her or something. Is this his way of keeping her "in line?" Thanks...
