Any guesses on what color egg she should lay? This a an older picture, she’s a fast one. She’s 9 months old now but I don’t think she’s laying yet and if she has it’s a pale light brown/cream color. I was told she’s a cream leg bar/ee mix and “should” lay a green or blue egg. She hatched from a...

I have a approx. 1.5-2 year old Starlight Green Egger Tulip. She has bumble foot and we treated with removing the scabs and using PRID. That has been working well... Then she started with some swelling between the toes and a limp (on the less affected foot) The swelling is soft and localized to...

I have a 1.5 year old who lays a light greenish to blue egg. Her shells are always thin despite giving eggs shells back, oyster shell, extra calcium tablets with magnesium. The works. We’ve tried it all. We get 2-3 eggs per week with consistent thin shells and the color of her egg is much...

I have Tulip an Easter egger (just over 1 year old). She eats scratch and peck grower feed. There are 12 weekers with her which she’s amazing with. I started fermenting her feed and she laid one shell less egg and zilch since. She has oyster shells free choice. She seems fine otherwise. Happy...

Need some advice! I have 3 10 week old. Chicks with own 1 year old olive egger. I saw some small amounts of blood is some droppings today. I am thinking from the older hen and one of the younger ones. Very small amount. The younger one is sneezing as well. No blood noted on their bottoms. I did...

What is hopefully a she “Petunia’s” breed? We were told Easter egger but she had a Mohawk? 6 weeks old 🥰 any thoughts on breed? Also she has what looks like a pea comb.

We lost our Daisys sister to a hawk. It was tragic so we hurried and got a blue astrolorp to keep her company…. I see wattles coming in should I already be worried? We cannot have a roo :( She got tail feather quickly and still no real comb development. But Daisy is 6 weeks old and a Light Brama...

I was told I was getting a Buff Brama. I am thinking more of a Light Brama (Daisy). And behind her is little miss Rosabelle (we also hope a hen), a blue astrolorp. I really can’t tell if “Daisy” is a hen.

So, I was looking at new brands and the Purina layer oyster strong layer feed we had been using for my older 2 Buff Orpingtons that are laying. I was looking for an All Flock because our two younger Cochins are in the small flock now.... I thought I bought All Flock and yesterday I realized I...

So we have 11 week old Cochin chicks Thelma and Louise. They still look like girls to me, what do y’all think? Thelma is the Golden Laced and Louise is the Blue Cochin :)

My sweet Hen Hazel has a purple tipped comb. We are in Florida and it is hot here. She has no other symptoms. I haven’t seen worms and see no live or mites. Any ideas? Eating and drinking well, behavior normal. She’s about 7 months old and started laying last month. Still laying one egg daily.

Well our first two buff Orpington chicks were so hard to sex, we finally figured it out at 22 weeks with Mrs. Hazel! Let’s hope these girls are easier... also we were told Golden laced Cochin and Blue Cochin. The Blue Cochin is looking so light like a Lavender maybe? What are your thoughts. 4...

We have 2 Buff Orpington 22 weeks girlies. We also have two 3 1/2 week Cochin chicks. We will be starting integration soon. I think I am going to build a mini square coop to set inside the run of our coop. My question is at night our big girls go upstairs inside to roost. What do I do with the...

I have 2 Buff Orpington hens. They are 22 weeks old. I just got 2 baby Cochin chicks, they are about a week and a half old. How should I go about integrating and when? One of my hens is hopefully about to lay while her sister seems to be more immature than her. I have one coop (pre fab). I don’t...

Finally made my girls a new feeder !!!

Here’s Mrs. Hazel again a week later. Still no egg or crow.... super red face and large comb and wattle versus Pearl, but no saddle or hackle feathers. Is the consensus still a point of lay pullet? I certainly wish she would show us some signs soon. 22 weeks old now. She does seem to squat now...

We have 2- 4 day old baby Cochins. We have a brooder set up in garage, its a large tub with a red heat lamp. We keep the garage door open during the day but it is still quite warm in there at least 85 degrees or higher. Should I turn the heat lamp that is only facing in one corner off during the...

Hi, I was thinking of starting fermenting for my 2 day old chicks. One keeps getting pasty butt, so I considered fermenting for them and my 21 week Buff Orpingtons. But the chick starter I have is medicated and I'm nervous to ferment that for the babies. Thanks for any input!
