Hey guys! I’m proud to announce I have TWO broody hens. And boy are they in it for the long haul! 😂 I have two issues (maybe) and need your advice. 1. They are both in laying boxes that are higher off the ground. Should I move them to a crate in the coop on the ground until after hatching...

I know there has been an issue before but I can’t figure out why these babes are huddling like they are. Ages are between 2-3 weeks old. Temp is between 85-90 in our insulated garage. Area may have been to small before but I’ve since moved them all to a larger area. I lost 2 fairly bigger chicks...

Well I had SUCKER written on my forehead when I went in for JUST A WATERER the other day 🤪 The salmon faverolles stole.my.heart!!!! They were SUPPOSED to be pullets. But I’m beginning to think otherwise on these babies. They are about 1.5 weeks old. And some of their feathers are getting pretty...

So I have some new Silkie babes. EIGHT to be exact!! I’m so in loveeeee 🥰🐣 Thinking I have 2 buff (one frizzle?), 2-3 blue, 1 or 2 black, a splash (?) and a partridge (frizzle) in a pair tree! 😆 Any input on the colors for me?

The past couple of weeks have been rough for my girls and boys. We’ve been treating lice... had dry fowl pox break out... and now I have a cockerel with some weird feet things going on. No his feet are NOT normally black on the bottom like this... at least I’ve never seen them Like this before...

Our boy Motley was hopped on by one of our bigger breed birds about 7-8 days ago. At first he was just limping around and carrying his R leg. About 4 days ago I let everyone out and he wouldn't leave the coop. I carried him out and he was actually DRAGGING his toes/foot at this point. So I...

My boy Oliver was adopted as an outside cat at over a year old about 2 years ago. Last year he went missing for about a week. He had been missing for a day or two before so I tried not to worry. He showed up one morning with a broken tail/vertebrae so close to his spine it almost paralyzed him...

Born around May 10, 2020. I thought I had a boy and a girl. One is significantly larger than the other. They came from the same batch at a farm store. I can post videos if necessary but it would be later today. Not sure if you can tell by physical traits?! Any help would be appreciated!! The...

I have 7 hens and 1 rooster about 6 months old and I’m getting rid of the rooster for being aggressive with my kids. The hens have been laying for several weeks now. But Should I expect unhealthy behavior from my hens after he leaves? I do have younger cockerels with them now so they wont be...

Ok guys, a few of my chickens have been falling ill. And I need your help identifying the problem and saving my flock. Here's the timeline... First victim was 3 weeks ago, a cockerel about 4 months old, one morning he came out of the coop for breakfast walking like he was drunk. I noticed he...

So I have several different breeds whom are starting to lay for the first time. I have some comets, a Cochin, EEs, a BR, and a blue copper maran. And I’m just curious about these eggs and why they look the way they do?! Some are almost like reverse speckled, I had one double yolk with a line...

These two gorgeous babies were almost identical but one with a single row comb and 5 toes! What sex are they? I thought I had one of each but the combs are throwing me off! Also, name suggestions would be cute 🥰😝 And no crowing yet.

We Watched Mr. Smokey Robinson hobble out of the coop this morning for breakfast like a drunk man waking up from a 3 night binder. He was perfectly fine on the roost last night so is this bumble foot? A peck wound? Or is something possibly broken? These are the best photos I can get alone...

I noticed today one of my pullets having red colored eyes. No they haven’t always been this way. One eye is SOLID red and the other eye is starting to redden at the bottom. What on earth??? No other symptoms that I can tell I did see her eat and drink. Left eyeball is completely red and right...

Hey guys, I notice a hard bump on my baby chicks beak the other day? It doesn’t seem to be doing anything. Weird! Any suggestions what it could be? Eating drinking pooping all normal that I can tell. She is in a brooder with other babies. She’s about 3 weeks old give or take.

Just for shits and giggles, what would a blue copper maran hen and A barred rock rooster make? Any pictures? I’ve tried looking it up and only find black copper maran mixes.

One of my four week old roos either has an eye infection or was pecked in the eye or scratched in the eye. I’m not so sure it is infection because that flock is being treated for respiratory illness with an anabiotic water. I don’t have much medication on hand especially for the eyes. I checked...
