My girl is new to laying. She's skittish. She was laying in the coop. Then got scared and went to her old coop yhat was temperary. I thought about closing it off but I'd rather her be in there then in the woods. This morning she got scared off before laying in her new area. (Laying is new to...

I may have a Jersey Giant. She is 19 weeks. Solid black comb and all. Only a tip of her comb is red. If you have a JG when did her comb turn red? Her wattles are red but she's black and iridescent like a Australorp male. But not. She is bigger than my Aussie hen but not by a great amount. Idk...

I'm in cold northern area. Lots of snow. I'm being told not to use heat lamps or anything A for fire risk and B in case our weather causes a power outage which will shock and kill them. Can I run lights out there though? If power cords are a no no then what do I do to keep their water from...

Ha! Firured pictures out. Thanks!

I don't know how to set up a picture.

Ok, thank you. All of my chickens are 4 months old. So the cockerel bit the comb on my 1st pullet once, it bled but before I saw the blood she turned and knocked him down 4 times. The other issue with my other pullet, black beak is probably mating them. I will research what chicken mating looks...

My chickens are all 4 months old. I need help understanding my rooster. I have a super sweet rooster. He's doing great but he bites my two dominate hens.... I say dominate b.c they are the two most aware and seem to herd the others into safety but also nest with them like they are their pack...

Hello, I have 5 EEs and they are all sticking their hackles out and fighting. At 10 weeks I still can not tell if they are male or female. I only know that I have 16 chickens plus a couple of bantams in a 32 feet by 60 foot run and I've got a bunch of Velociraptors in there. Do only roosters do...

Is this a roo or pullet?

I have 4 sebrights. 2 have combs and 2 have nothing up there. They are only 7 weeks. Will hens have a comb? One with a comb is defiantly a rooster. He crows and is a butt head. Just curious how I will know about the other 3. I suspect two without combs are hens.

Could I get some advice on reintegrating chicks? I have a whole 28 pack of mixed chicks that are 8 to 6 weeks old. My husband got another 4 silkies, they are 4 or 5 weeks right now. 2 weeks ago one of the silkies came to me and nuzzled, something only my chicks who have gotten sick have done. I...

Thank you. :/

My beautiful SLW hen is 4 weeks this Friday. This morning I was cleaning their bedding, food and water. I noticed she seemed... Idk. I pet them all and we hold them each. I smiled at her snuggle into my hand. I picked her up. She's so sweet so incident think anything .I went to put her back...

I was feeding my chicks 24 protein starter for a week. Then I learned 24 will grow them too quickly for being egg layers and to feed them 18 to 20 instead. So at the 1 week mark they were 2 weeks old, I started a lower starter feed. This one has probiotics unlike the other feed. It has been 4...

Thanks! I will add some... dirt? To their home. :)

Hello, I saw so many people on a thread talking about medicated feed. Probiotics. Deworming. Electrolytes. Do we need to deworm? If so when? When do I need medicated feed? I assume I only need electrolytes when a chicken is sick, do I take him/her to a vet of is there a this I 1st follow? O...
