Due to a request from the admins, I'm creating a new thread for Boys VS Girls. Having super long threads strains the website and can cause glitches, so, no longer use the old version, but if you want to bask in the glory of the 10,000 page, nearly 6 year old thread I started as a 10 year old...

Hi, I'm attaching an album of my hen's eye, with a picture of the normal eye for reference (not, the normal eye does have two little growths on the bottom but those have been around for a while). She is acting perfectly fine besides for having trouble getting around due to her eye. She eats...

I am looking into selling Quail eggs online. However, my Dad thinks that if somebody buys and hatches the eggs I sell, and the chicks have "some sort of disease", than they could trace it back to me and get me into some huge legal trouble. I think this is a load of baloney, that has no...

Hi, I'm thinking about hatching my own quail. I've done plenty of research but still have some questions. The species I have in mind are Bobwhite and Button Quail. 1) Flight How well can these birds fly? Are they like standard birds which can fly for miles on end, or do they have a couple...

My 38-week old Olive Egger has been getting very thin and losing feathers. She may be getting picked on, as I have seen her getting picked at a few times, but she's missing feathers all over. I can feel her bones when I pck her up, and she is so much lighter. Yes, she will eat and drink fine...

My Olive Egger has a bald spot on her head, with an area completely picked clean in the middle of the back of her neck/bottom of her head, then the feathers all raggedy and sparse on the rest of her head and neck. She is also lacking feathers on her throat, where her EE beard was, and her muffs...

I previously had another thread on this issue but it was no help really. The issue has gotten worse. After returning home after 2 days of leaving her alone, I discovered the wound has lots of black flesh. I'm assuming that is nercotic flesh or something? How do I remove it? It gets cold in the...

My 27 Week old Wheaten Marans pullet has been pecked bloody twice in the past 3 days. She is the biggest girl of them all. The first day, I found her with a bloody comb, and I cleaned off all the blood, and put her back in the coop. Today I went down and found s patch on the back of her head had...

This morning, I discovered one of my 21-week old EE's had chipped the end of their top beak. It looks like there is like a thin part of what the beak used to look like left, as if there are like, 2 layers on the top beak, and the top layer had been chipped off. So, I want to know if this will...

How can I get my 4 pullets to sleep on the roosting bar? Right now, they only sleep in a certain nesting box, and lots of poop accumulates in it, and it just gets really messy. They know the bar is there- at least I have seen two of them on it. Whenever I take one of the other 2, who I have not...

Is this 7-week old a boy or girl? I am REALLY hoping for a girl, since olive green is my favorite color, and she is the only OE that I could find. And she is tied for my favorite, but we couldn't keep a rooster, as far as I can tell.

Before we begin, know I do NOT make these signs- my brother does. He tried to make an account to sell it on but it would not let him post to the BST section, so, I will be acting as the 'link' between BYC and him. Regardless, up for sale are custom made signs, ranging from $7 to $15 plus...

Wheaten marans can generally be sexed by their color- females will be a fawn color, while males will have dark brown and black. My chick has both. So what is she... or he? (S)he is 3 weeks old on Monday.

Does anyone out there decorate their coop? I don't mean painting it- unless you go all out and paint pictures! For now I have only painted the inside and outside of my coop and would love to see what you guys do to decorate your coop!

I have several questions about giving my girls apple cider vinegar (ACV) Can it be given to chicks? If not, at what age can it be? What is the correct amount of apple cider vinegar per 1 gallon of water? Will the ACV go bad after being in the water too long? Do I shake the ACV before adding...

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) She is a 5-day old hamburg x ameraucana cross. She is the smallest of all the chicks but not by much. 2) What is the behavior, exactly. She behaves just like all of the other chicks, except...

Welcome to the 2nd Edition of SCIV! Here is a link to the last edition, the Hunt For The Wendigo. ------------------- What does the Contest stand for??!- Survivor Chicken Island Version. The 'Survivor' part is taken from the popular TV show, Survivor. This is also loosely based on the same...

Welcome to the Photography Club! ---------------------------------------- There is a section for photography in 'The Art Club' but with all of the other types of art being submitted into that club, our precious photographs will be lost in a flurry of posts! Thus, I decided to make a photography...

Does anyone know of a hatchery that you can order just a few chicks and not have to pay a million dollars for shipping? I mean, I WILL be getting chicks that I am going to pick up on Monday, but for future reference, I would like to know where I can order 6 chicks and not need to pay a ton for...
