I made a pop in visit a few days in a row to my local Tractor Supply. I went in originally to purchase new chicks, but when I saw the conditions I started making pop ins to check on all the babies. Tonight I ended up being given a few very weak guinea keets, because the employees didn't know...
Advice needed! I'm absolutely heartbroken! In the last 3 days I've lost 2 of my 8 week old ducklings, they had symptoms like wry neck, it came on very suddenly...within a 4 hour span they went from healthy happy ducks to a seemingly loss of control of their necks! I quickly gave them the...
My 4 month old Turkey got into the chick feeding area, I came out to the coop to see my female turkey there with blood on her beak and chest and blood speckles in the snow, I followed the blood to find my 11 week old Gold Laced Wyandotte with her scalp hanging off! I rushed her inside and...
My sweet little Black Swedish duckling Forrest has had a rough run of things in her life so far! We noticed she walked a little funny when we brought her home, but as ducklings sort of bobble around we figured she was just getting her legs about her. As time has progressed she has gotten worse...
So I have 4 Turkey poults, 2 are heritage blue slate/narragansett cross approx 18 weeks old and 2 are Broad Breasted White approx 12 weeks old. I only have one who is displaying, and it's a BBW, can anyone help me ID gender on my 2 heritage? and here's a pic with my BBW Jake for...
Hi all! Here are updated photos on my mystery ducklings I posted on May 12th. They are getting big and fast! They look like 2 different breeds (well 3 if you count my Ancona duckling!) Any ideas on breeds of these sweeties? They are most definitely full of unique personality!
The bigger of the 2...
My husband got me these 2 beautiful babies to add to my flock! I'm not sure what they are, the slip says "assorted ducks" and they are from Hoover's Hatchery. Is anybody able to help me with breed identification? My older ducks are all Khaki Cambell, they looked very different than these cuties...
I purchased black sex link pullets at TSC back in the beginning of March, all has been well, they are very good natured! They went into the coop aling with my other young pullets a week ago, and have been sorting their pecking order, they seem to have gotten it pretty much down. Today I was...

So my husband surprised me with 5 new bantam babies...now I have 16 in total and I LOVE THEM! My new 5 are different from my other 11, they are adorable, 4 have feathered feet and 4 toes with feathering. One has non feathered feet and 4 toes. I love all my babies! Proud chicken mom!!❤❤❤❤...
Hi all!
I have 3 Ameraucana who are now 6 weeks old. I noticed today that one of the 3 (whom my 9 year old son has affectionately named "Rocket" after his favoritie Guardians of the Galaxy character ☺) has feathers growing on her legs and also that some of her toes turn! She's the only one out...
This is Soren, my awesome 8 week old RIR, I'm watching this one and trying to figure out if this is a he or a she! I'm suspecting "he" as I noticed that Soren has some black feathers coming in the tail and wings...no crow yet, but maybe to young? I read that RIR pullets are born with a dark spot...
I posted a few pics of my new bantams I picked up at TSC the other day, but I missed a few! These 2 are different from the others which everyone has been super helpful in identifying as Golden Sebright, Silver Sebright, and White Silkie. One sort of looks like the White silkie, aside from the...
Hi! So, I purchased 8 little assorted bantams at TSC, and they are just so pretty I am trying to figure out what breeds they are! If anyone can help me, I'd be so happy to know more about my new babies!! The last one is a lot different as it has feathered feet and extra toes! I'm so excited...
Hi all!

I'm grown up now (late 39's lol) married with 6 children of my own and we have talked about raising chickens many times, FINALLY we are actually...
