Thanks so much! Everything I kept finding talked about infections. We just got over avian pox. My daughter hatched her from an egg at school and she and our rooster, Cat, are members of the family. Whenever something seems wrong my daughter gets very worried about them. I don't think any of us...

We got both our chickens in May they were 2-3 weeks old. Our rooster and hen got sick in October with what I think was avian pox. Our hen did not lay any eggs during this time. I gave them vitamins and electrolytes-they showed no other symptoms but the black spots and our hen not paying for...

I am not sure why when I upload my pictures they turn sideways.... We got this lovely chicken when my daughter hatched her egg at school-no idea though what kind she is. Also when should we anticipate that she will start laying eggs? Thanks for any help! :)

Thanks for the info. He has always been quite chatty, even when he was a chick and he seems to be a bit protective of his girl chick. So far he is very sweet-hoping it stays that way.

She was hatched from an egg at my daughter's school. The egg was a light green and smaller than the other eggs they had. I am pretty sure she is a female but have no idea on the breed. I can post more pictures if needed.

My daughter hatched eggs at school and we agreed to take a chick home. We were planning on keeping it for a few weeks and then letting it live with a friend who has chickens. We ended up buying a friend for Danana after I read that they are social animals. And then Cat and Danana became part...
