Just took these those waddles huge! And he was all posting up when i went in to grab the silkies totally a rooster!

We are down to 3 mature birds...a Blue copper Maran, and 2 EE... so we will be adding on, to the existing with both full size birds and a couple silkies pending gender. The plan has always been to add a smaller henhouse onto our existing coop that would be great for silkies and also good for...

interesting! I wasn't sure if the size was indicating to it being a cockerel. So far the comb doesn't look single to me it looks wide. The other remaining silkie we have from our 4 silkie chicks is a black that is super small in comparison to the white silkie. So I have been wondering what...

Hi Chicken lovers, So here are a few pics of our latest round of chicks... I purchased hatchery chicks from my small feed store, my goal was building a nice color egg basket, and a couple of silkies just for fun. Well we lost 2/4 silkies they were only a couple days old and at day 8 they...

her crop feels empty and she feels fine except for the bottom under her vent it feels swollen but not two squishy. Also I don't think its warm to touch as I had originally thought, feels the same temp as under the wing just warmer than I expected. I did see some broken feathers that she acted...

Ok so I just used my finger to check for an egg and and can't feel anything? Thoughts?

yes our feed does have added calcium doubled checked

No I did not check for an egg, not sure how to do this and definitely don't want to break it if there is one? They are on Layer feed I don't believe it has added calcium, we give them oyster shell. Definitely not dehydrated there are on an automatic waterer and had plenty of water in it when...

Here is pic

So pretty sure my buff hen is egg bound. We just returned late Tuesday from a 10 day vacation and had a neighbor chicken sitting for us. Yesterday I went out to check them and I noticed she had some feathers missing and her bottom area under vent looked a little pink-er than normal....it did...

So proud of my Cuckoo Maran Dorthy!! (she is about 8 months old) She started laying two days ago here is her gorgeous 2nd egg!

Our oldest EE has been laying for about a month now. Our Cuckoo Maran Dorthy and another one of our girls started laying in the last 3 days . Even better our Cuckoo's egg is gorgeous and speckled!!! Here is our pretty egg basket!

Sorry didn't answer you. Yes she does still seem "Congested" though not as rattling at this morning. As in she is no longer "Purring" while breathing. Her eyes are not swollen. Still no smell, poo looks good, she seems alert and feeling fine other than a stuffy/ runny nose but no increase in...

THANK YOU!!! I was feeling very worst case scenario before you last post and totally overwhelmed. I thought I needed to act right away. You have been EGG-tremely helpful and given me hope. I was already tending them all in that order for protection so that just confirms that for me...

Ok so I'm totally at a loss at what to do. After all, all my chickens are from this same feed store just bought at different times. So in theory the two healthy birds I have had since June could also be carriers right? If it is on the property? Im feeling totally dumb right now These are...

So last night she seemed to look a little better than morning before (no more bubbles from nose and eyes a little more clear). This morning though here breathing is so rattly she sounds like she is purring. I am seriously wondering if its IB. I don't think I can take her back to the feed...

Ok, so I have been at the backyard chicken game since June of this year. We started with 6 Chicks under a heat lamp. We lost one early (natural causes I'm guessing no signs of illness), One was taken by a hawk, and 2 of the "pullets" turned out to be roos (can't have them in neighborhood)...

Thank you! I knew I wasn't crazy ;) They are looking and acting more like Roos everyday. I wish someone had interest in adopting them b/c I honestly feel like the black one would make a great flock protector…he already does. Glad The feed store they came from is willing to let them range at...

The Black one I am pretty Certain is a Roo. Its pebbles the red one that has me lost. This evening when I was looking at her/him I noticed that since I took the last pictures 2 wks ago. The tail feathers have really started to arc over?? Is it possible for a Hen to have Arcing tail...
