1) Easter Egger, 1 year old, slightly smaller than the rest 2) She’s always been a weird chicken but I just suspected she just had a bit of a mental disability and accepted her as that 3) She’s been like this since we got her 4) No other chickens that I’ve ever had have been like this 5) What...

My previous post on this chick got 0 replies and I got no help and I’m asking if anyone at all can help me in any way... anything would help right now. Here’s my previous post: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/help-chick-with-sour-crop.1364150/ Basically my chick is around 4 weeks old...

We have 3-4 week old chicks and one I believe has sour crop. Soft squishy crop, low energy, slow, sleepy, etc. so far I’ve separated her from the other chicks with some fencing so that she can’t eat. She’s drinking garlic water with some apple cider vinegar in the water and we syringed some fish...

Just did another TSC run! Pretty sure they are oeg bantams but wanna double check. Also is the white one a white oeg bantam? I don’t know too much on bantam breeds... Also look at this EE I got she has feathered feet!! I know EEs can have them but it isn’t common :)

We got two chickens last year from Tractor Supply and I picked out of two bins which I thought both were Easter Eggers. However, I know they aren’t best with labeling their bins and so I don’t believe these guys are Easter Eggers but I have absolutely no idea what they could be. Maybe just the...

Sadly this afternoon, our bantam rooster put up a fight with a falcon but didn’t make it out. Thankfully he was the only one to be attacked. I was well looking forward to breeding him with the 3 bantam hens I have to hatch some mini chicks. Now, I have a RIR rooster that is NOT a bantam breed. I...

So we provide plenty of baskets for our hens and I’m not sure if it’s just the location of the basket or what. I’m not as much concerned but more so curious. The only part I’m concerned about is that it seems to be when there are 3 hens AT THE SAME TIME in a laying basket they shove each other...

We’ve had these guys since mid April so they’re almost full grown and I was pretty sure all 6 of my Barred Rocks were hens but when I took a second look at the one hen her comb seemed to be twice the size and much redder than the other 5. We got bantams the same time as them and one of them...

When I posted these guys 2 weeks ago I was told one was just a unique little chick because he was much blacker that the other 2 but now I’m starting to question if he/she even is the same breed as the others. The chick seems to be developing a different type of comb. Can anyone explain this...

I've posted this chick along with another bantam in an earlier post and a post by itself a little over a week ago but still didn't get one solid guess on its breed. Some people said a type of cochin bantam and I had others say a mille fleur d'uccle bantam. Hoping that it's easier to tell since...

I've had this hen for less that a year since she hatched in the summer of last year. So far this winter/spring we have brought her in the house because she has become egg bound. The first time we brought her in it was hard to fix the vent prolapse after dislodging the egg but I was able to put...

I've posted this chick along with another bantam in an earlier post but didn't get only one guess on its breed. Some people said a type of cochin bantam, some say booted bantam, and I had others say a mille fleur d'uccle bantam. If any one can say for sure what this little one may be that would...

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make chicks grow into friendly hens and roos? I've had chickens for a few years now and some would be a friendly bunch and others more skittish. Did I do something to one batch I didn't do to another? If anyone has any suggestions to make my chicks...

I just got 2 more bantam today and I was just wondering if someone can tell me what kind they are. I belive they are golden sebright but i just want to double check. Chick 1: Chick 2: Also is there a way to tell the genders between golden sebrights? My one golden sebright has all black on...

Just got these two little guys last night and just wanted to know what kind of Bantams they could be. Chick 1: Chick 2:

Alright. So I just bought 6 Barred Rocks and they were not already sexed and I’ve seen many ways to tell them apart but I just don’t want to be wrong. I would like to know for sure if I have hens like I hoped or half of them being Roosters like last year:mad::fl Chick 1: Chick 2: Chick 3...
