My neighbor left me his chickens and I was wondering what Breed they are? Good chance they came from tractor supply. We’ve shown Dutch bantams for many years, but I never had any large fowls.
I have five girls and one Roo and a decent size coop with a run. They all look great except this one. She’s been like this for 6+ months. I don’t see any bugs and the coop is kept pretty clean. I sprayed BLU-KOTE germicidal fungicidal spray on it. That’s where the purple is coming from. She is...
I’ve been raising and showing Dutch for many years and I’m looking for opinions on the overall quality for show. I’m hoping to find somebody that is familiar with the breed. I feel like after years of breeding with several different roosters i’m not really producing anything better. I’m not sure...

my Japanese cockerel has crust around top part of his eye. It was swollen for a while but swelling has gone down. it’s been probably a month and doesn’t seem to be getting much better. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I’m hearing chirping inside the egg at day 19. My incubator is pretty small and I’m not sure if I should let them hatch in the incubator or put the eggs in the brooder and let them hatch with some room to get out of the shell. I’m typically gone 8+ hrs and how long can they stay in the incubator...
My kids are in 4H and the last couple of years we used our schools poultry barn to house chickens. Now we're going to house them ourselves. We are going to have 6 Dutch bantams. All of our breeders sell them as a pair so we will have 3 pullets and 3 cockerels. I'm guessing the cockerels will...
Does look like fowl pox on our Sumatra hen? Just noticed this today. She's in our 4H groups coop where other breeds chickens are also housed. Does this spread? Any help identifying this issue......
