I was recently working somewhere that sells chicks, so they get shipments of hatchery birds in. I noticed one chick standing alone and looking confused so I brought her into the back of the store. I ended up bringing her home so I could care for her thinking she may just be dehydrated or injured...

I know this isn’t the best photo but wondering everyones opinion on the sex of these little ones. Hatched out in mid June. Middle one is a roo, but I’m not sure about the other two. Thoughts??

I have an Easter Egger that’s 2-3 years old. I believe she has bad genetics as I got about a handful of eggs from her when she was almost a year old and then quit laying all together. I kept her since she was part of my original flock. I have a rooster that mates with her (against her will, she...

I have (6) cockerels that need to be rehomed. I found homes for two of them at this time, but need to find homes for the rest. They are black copper marans/cream legbar mixes. About 4 months old. Just starting to crow and messing with my hens.

I have a question to see if anyone has experienced this: I bought 2 straight run silkies about a month ago. Unfortunately one of them passed away yesterday suddenly, which happened to be the same day I was getting a delivery of 6 day old chicks. The silkie that was left was getting picked on...

hatched a chick yesterday and her leg is straight out to the side. How can I help correct this? If I bend her leg underneath her she will keep it that way, but once I put her down it’s back out to the side. Help!!

I have two roosters who have been living peacefully together. Today they got into it and my one roo was pretty badly injured. Time to find a home for one of them, or he’s off to the cooking pot! He is an olive egger rooster, and he’s not really aggressive but I only have 8 hens with the two...

I have 8 hens, all of them except 1 lays eggs. Production drops in winter as expected, however I have an easter egger that never laid consistently. I would get maybe 1-2 eggs per week for about 4 months when she was just starting to lay at about 6-7 months old. That was last fall 2016. After...

He’s a little over 4 months old. Bought some hatching eggs for my broody I believe he’s some kind of mix breed. I don’t think he’s barred rock because he hatched from a blue egg. Any ideas??

I have 3 month old chicks. One I know is a cockerel because he’s crowing, but I have another I’m not sure if it’s a cockerel or a pullet. I think it’s a cockerel, but my husband is swearing it’s a pullet. What do you think?! I uploaded one photo with the cockerel next to the one in question...

Hi all! Sort of new here so I apologize if there is already a thread started about this. I have (3) 1 week old chicks that are with a broody hen. Currently they are all outside in my chicken tractor until the chicks get a little bigger. Today I came home to find one of the chicks having...

So I've gotten two eggs by the same chicken that look like this. She just started laying, and this was the result of her first two eggs. I know there is a meat spot in there, but why is the yolk clear?? Anyone have any idea?

I have 3 Rhode Island red's and 2 Easter eggers. 2 reds are laying and 1 ee. I went out this morning to check on the girls. And it looks like the 3rd red might lay an egg. Her feathers by her vent are all pushed open and she's "pulsing" and haven't seen her poop. I've been watching her all...

Hi! New here to the community! I have 3 Rhode Island red's and 2 EE's. Just started getting eggs a few weeks ago. I know at least 1 Rhode Island is laying because the eggs are brown. But I'm wondering if chickens egg colors are always specific to the hen. For example, most of my eggs are a solid...
