Do I even have to ask? This is a little rooster, isn’t it? I know Easter Eggers can be tough but that comb is screaming roo.

Wow yeah. I think this is what happened. She was so small. Ugh so sad. Thank you for sharing this with me.

Ah wow thank you! I honestly haven’t heard of that! Definitely sounds possible!

I am aware that no one in the forum can telepathically tell me how my chicken died. Was just putting it out there in case anyone had any similar experiences. Thanks.

Yup! I’ve used our local lab before - very helpful and interesting in figuring out mysterious deaths. I’m getting the vibe that you do not believe this was caused by stress.

No it didn’t happen over night, it happened in the span of a couple hours. I literally held her a few hours before this happened and she was her regular super teeny tiny self. She was running around like normal, eating, drinking, laying, less than 18 hours before she died.

Hey guys - so we moved and of course took our flock with us. Our 17 chickens were transported in 2 separate xl dog crates with blankets over the crates to keep it dark inside. The trip to the new house was about 40 minutes long and we let them all immediately out into their new home. Everyone...

So one of my girls has sour crop. Or at least I think she does. Her crop is all mushy and soft like a water balloon. I did see her “throw up” (I know chickens don’t throw up) and it smelled rancid. One day she was gagging like a cat with a hairball, if that makes any sense. She’s eating and...

Hey guys so our run is completely enclosed and predator proof as is but we are considering putting an actual roof on it. We are looking at something like this https://www.homedepot.com/p/Palruf-26-in-x-8-ft-Clear-PVC-Roof-Panel-100423/100038031 What I was wondering is: 1. is there any benefit...

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Thank you and for sure, I’m definitely waiting before I make any guesses about what she is! I just wanted to see if anybody knew if this was normal for these chicks to be this large!:)

Just checking to see if anyone knows if Swedish flower hens are typically large as chicks. We have one and she just seems so much bigger than the rest of the girls that are her age (about 2 weeks). Her tail is exceptionally more developed than the rest of the babies too. Not sure if she’s...

Three month old backyard mix - Easter Egger X Cochin. Pretty sure this is a little boy? Thanks so much!

Ah thank you! I figured but wanted to see if anyone saw anything I didn’t! :)

Anyone?

OK guys, just for fun what do you think about these 4? Their daddy is a blue Cochin X Easter Egger and the mama of the light grey ones is an Easter Egger mix and the dark ones mom is a super blue layer. I’m thinking the bigger of the light gray ones is a boy.

Hey guys, So we’ve officially made the decision to go from free ranging our chickens for the last two years to keeping them in a large enclosure connected to their original run and coop area. We’ve made his decision based on their safety (predators) and the simple fact that they are pooping...

Thank you so much!!!

Exciting! Hopefully he gets along with his dad. :hmm I’m not too worried tho - his dad is our “special needs” guy and basically lays under a bush all day.
