I have a teenage pulled who started limping the other day. She was hatched early May, so she's about 3 months old (blue Whiting's). Of course she's our favorite. I separated her from the flock because they were being jerks. She has a really hard time walme.walming, it splays to the side, and...

I researched like crazy before starting this endeavor, and on day 22 I'm looking for things to calm me down as to why my eggs are still not hatching. I just now found the info suggesting different temps for still vs forced air. I have a still air incubator. I've kept it at 99.5 degrees, the...

My best guess is speckled Sussex and Ameraucana, but the people I adopted them from had no idea what I was talking about. The white one seems to be a Cochin bantam. They're all gorgeous, about a yearish old, and they were free to a good home because they didn't know how to introduce new hens and...

I have an olive egger I've been watching and watching and I still just cannot tell. It's an ugly chicken with weird wing feathers, most times the face is a light pink but darkens to red when excited or upset or tired of being stared at. The chicken is about 5 months old, and I feel like it...

This chicken came from a local breeder. I was picking up an olive egger and she made me take the other pullet as well because it's better to introduce 2, and she was overwhelmed by numbers. She'd taken the leg bands off and thus in it's adolescence, wasn't sure what it was, probably a black orp...

I have a 2 month old orp whose tail refuses to grow in,perhaps because it gets picked on and losses tail feathers? I'm trying to figure out if I have a he or a she. So far, of my 6 chix I have 3 he's, I'm really hoping for at least a 50% here. That said, anyone in want of olive egger, legbar or...

I have two, what I think are little boys, who need to find new homes. I have a true Lavender Ameraucana and an F1 Olive Egger (Black Cooper Marans/Black Ameraucana). They're both great personalities. The Olive egger has beautiful thickly feathered feet and huge muffs. The Lavender is a clown and...

I'm a Nube, prior to these chicks I've only had rescue adult hens. I now have 6 chicks that are 2 months old. The lavender americauna has been fully feathered since very young. No slow tail growth there. But the comb... The cream legbar pullet is crowing, kind of. I'm confused.

I have an Easter Egger and 4 other hens. The EE is maybe 3 years old, we adopted her, so it's unknown. She had been laying beautiful green eggs consistently and then completely stopped. Our egg count has been pretty much the same though (I'm also not great at keeping track of this). I haven't...

I just introduced a new pullet into my group and she seems to have a mild (currently) URI. I don't really want to drop $50 on antibiotics for my 4 girls. I did find Tylosin 10% geared toward pigeons. Can I administer this to my very tiny backyard flock effectively? No one else is showing signs...

First of all, I ended up with a duck on accident. A 1-2 day old baby found me while camping, she stayed in our coat pockets throughout as we didn't have any other way of keeping her warm and it literally snowed the following morning. We live in an apartment, she's been living in a 50 gallon...
