I just got a new Easteregger, she is mixed with Welsummer and is not very fond of humans. I added her to the flock and she flew over the 8’ fence, pretty much right away. The enclosure is about 38’x28’ so it’s decent size. We’re about to put a roof on but I didn’t think she’d do that. Clearly in...

Who knows a thing or two about Silverlaced English Orpingtons?? I have 5, 4 seem to be males…do they typically have white necks if they’re male and when can you tell this? I have red combs on 4/5 and that happened early on, they’re 11 weeks now…any feedback?

Hi everyone! I posted these babies a few weeks ago? They’re now 11 weeks and have had so pecking issues. They’re two and both are getting their back feathers picked by other chicks. I HATE that! They get plenty of good food and water with lots of space! 182 sq feet of outdoor run area for 10, 11...

Hi! I need help, I’m pretty sure I have two Roos but maybe someone with some more experience raising brahamas will know better. Here’s a pic at 8 weeks! Today!! What do you think? Cockerel or Pullet? Thanks for your help 🤩

I have a Lavendar Cuckoo Orpington chick, 3 weeks old, about a week ago I thought she hurt her leg so I separated her from the other 12 chicks. She is in with 4 other smaller chicks and they’re all very nice to each other for now. My concern is she still has the injured, or so I think injured...

Hi! I have a flock of 20 and it’s supposed to be between 100-111 degrees tomorrow for about 10 hours. My flock is so hot, they’re all in the house right now panting their little feathers. I have 6 broodie hens, I think I’ve broken all but 2 so that helps but I’m not sure what to do. I don’t want...

Hi anyone able to identify what this is? Ever seen something like this before? What should I do? This is a Lavender Cuckoo Orpington. Thanks in advance.

Hi My hens first hatch, she had two successful babies and one died, then she abandoned the rest of the eggs, I have had two more hatch out under a lamp. They’re 12 hours old. The other two chicks are almost 3 days old now. Would it be dumb of me to try to put the new hatchlings under her tonight?

HI Everyone! Last year I gave my Buff Orp. 3 day old chicks after sadly, none of her clutch ended up hatching and she accepted them with no problem. This year I am fairly confident that there will be at lease 3 or 4 that will hatch maybe even more, due date is this Friday!! I did want to add...

Hi, So I have 23 hens, 6 of which are 55 Flowery hens. They are known to have a high production rate and are only 2 years old. All other mixed breed hens are laying a ton of eggs for us, but not these guys. I might get one egg from them a day. All of them appear to be in good health. Any ideas?

Hi anyone know if I buy chicks that have been vaccinated do I need to also feed them medicated chick feed?

What dewormer do you use? I have tried wazine and strike lll...who likes what. What’s most effective? Thanks 💜🐓

Hi, who knows how I can get rid of the mud in my chicken run?! We have a 30x20 outdoor area. It has some plastic sheeting over the top on part of it for a temporary fix till spring when we can build a proper roof but it still won’t be completely covered. It’s too big! Lol But for now, with...

Hi!! Found my girl this morning. She’s anywhere from 5-7months old, not sure since I only just got here 3”2 months ago and the lady wasn’t totally sure on age. Found her this morning on the ground in the run, her head was down, I thought she was dead. Yesterday she was a little puffed up but I...

Hello, I have had a new barnevelder cockerel for about 6 weeks now, a couple of weeks ago I noticed him and the 5 hens with him weren’t eating as much as I would have expected. Didn’t think anything of it just moved their food outside for easy access during the day. Two days ago, i noticed...

Hi everyone I have a blue ameraucana, she has been doing great till a day or two ago, she has always had a crooked toe, but only two days ago started to limp. She even stands on her “bad foot” sometimes as if she can’t even feel it. Is her toe broken or is this something else? She is 8 months...

Hi, I have a young rooster, he is currently in a rabbit house all by himself because he is too aggressive with the hens. Our temps don’t get too extreme here in WA state but tonight is going to get to 32 degrees. What’s too cold for him by himself? I’m just worried about him. He’s on a bed of...

Got this chick from a random guy who said it’s a hen. I’m thinking it might be a rooster... When I got this chick it had all of the back feathers plucked out by other chickens so I couldn’t see the back feathers. That’s the kicker. He also said it’s a red ameraucana. It’s most likely an Easter...

Hi I just got a new hen that is aprox 6 months old. Health seems good, red comb, body weight and feathers all look beautiful. She came to me with her middle toe curled. No biggie I thought. Now her other toe is curling, is this a vitamins b need or something else? Who knows about this?? Thanks!
