Okay y’all, here are the photos of the chicken. Look at the pictures before reading the back story!! Alright, so We bought this mysterious one from TSC in April of 2019. So almost 2 years ago. Sold as a California White pullet. Grew up as a pullet, no signs of rooster. It was actually the...

Hello backyard chicken friends, one of my Silkie girls suddenly had some issues today. I’m sorry if this is long. Thank you for reading in advance. So not really sure what’s going on right now with this little one. She’s about 12 weeks old. Purchased her from Ideal Poultry a long with 2 other...

Anyone know why one of my girls lays these eggs with a bit of a sheen to them? We think they’re pretty! But I hope it’s not a negative indicator. Egg on the right in pic. The egg on the left is what everyone else’s looks like. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I have this about 7 week old satin silkie. The sweetest little boy ever! (dna sexed) He sneezes a LOT when he’s outside (not so much inside). We have 6 babies in his group, and we take them outside for some adventures while we’re getting their coop and run together. Every time he’s...

Okay y’all, this is the only chicken I have do this. Everyone else drinks water normally. This one, she dunks like her whole head in the water. Everytime!! It’s pretty funny honestly. Can anyone explain why?? We don’t have ducks and have never had them! Maybe she identifies as a duck? :p I wish...

Hello everyone! I have a hen who is one year old and as of yesterday she has been acting a bit funny. She’s usually top dog and lets everyone know it. *A little back story* She has not laid since September. She began laying in late August. One day she laid a soft egg and has not laid since. She...

Hey everyone! Just wondering if you guys could ID this lady for me. Not laying yet, about 6 months old. Bought her as a Prairie Bluebell Egger, but after doing lots of researching, she looks like a Partridge Chantecler! Her comb is still flat but looks like it’s gonna be a cushion comb. I know...

Back again with yet another chicken problem :(. Basically a short novel ahead, I just want to include all of the details in case any one has had a similar experience. Pictures attached. So on Wednesday I came home from work, went outside to greet the girls, picked up our sweet Speckled Sussex...

Okay y’all I post here too much lol. You’re just a wealth of info!! I’m sorry, this is kinda long. I have an almost 4 month old pullet who we integrated with our slightly younger two babies about a month ago. Everything went great then and no one was really mean to anyone. So, recently we...

Hey all, I bought a Prairie Bluebell Egger from a lady who lives near me, and I am just curious if anyone else has experience with this breed? It seems to be a Hoover's Hatchery exclusive and I can't find a ton of information on them besides what is on their site. Apparently they are all...

Hello lovely Backyard Chicken folks. I have a few issues. We have some younger babies (11-13 weeks) we have separated from our flock of big girls. We had a major cold snap the last few days and we kept them outside for a couple of them, but we noticed they continued to have their feathers puffed...

Hey all. I have a Black Sex Link hen who hatched near the end of July. She is 6 months now. Not laying yet!! I know every hen will mature at their own pace and lay when they are ready, but our RIR started laying before she did (we got them at the same time as baby chicks, same age). Aren't sex...

Hello all, as the title says, I’ve got almost a 10 week old Speckled Sussex. The tail is a bit too pointy for comfort, but the comb isn’t really red. We’ve had “accidental” roo’s before and at 10 weeks their combs were pretty red and bigger. Please tell me what you think it is.

Hey all, last night before the girls went to bed we went outside and noticed there was a soft egg on the ground. We weren’t sure who did it, but we looked around and noticed one of the girl’s combs had flopped completely over. (she has a floppy comb usually, but it is completely down) I picked...

We have a 22 week old Austrawhite who started laying in the middle of August. She laid a couple of eggs, but has stopped since. I have searched my yard high and low for her eggs but none are to be found anywhere. I know it's been hot, but her sister who is the same age is laying her eggs just...

These babes are 4 weeks old. We got them from TSC and they were advertised as Ameraucanas. I’m suspecting this is not the case. A few people have told me they could be easter eggers though! Any thoughts?

Hello all! Hopefully this is in the right spot. We have an 18 week old California White hen who just began laying this week! She's first of our flock to start laying and needless to say, we're excited (eggcited? too cheesy? ok, :gig) She has been laying cute little light brown eggs with some...

Hello fellow posters! I am new to raising chickens, but my mother is not and had them previously. Very excited! We bought 6 chicks about a month ago. 2 Isa Browns, 2 California Whites, one confirmed silkie, one breed we were told was a silkie but she doesn’t look like it yet (i made a post...

Hello all! Brand new here, not sure if this is the right forum to post this, but it’s a picture of one of my chicks nonetheless :) We got this one at a local feed store almost a month ago, was told it was a silkie, pretty sure it is not haha. But that’s okay! We love her and her beautiful...
