    Pigeon Peas

    Hi! I’ve seen a lot about beans being toxic to chickens. I bought canned pigeon peas for my family and they are a no-go. Are the rest of the cans safe for my chickens or no? I hate to waste food but better safe than sorry!

    I need Sour Crop Directions

    Clear mucus-y dribble when they try to drink. Squishy, watery full crops 🤷🏼‍♀️ That’s what I keep coming up with as I’m google diagnosing. Chicks are 2 weeks old.

    Covid-panic-induced chicken keeping?

    The COVID thing totally inspired us to start our flock. For the last 5+ years we have talked about getting chickens every spring and decided against it because we weren’t financially in a place to get a coop going. This year we were financially set to and hadn’t gotten around to our annual...

    Black Jersey Giants

    Not sure that this is Asian Blac

    None of my Asian Blacks has that wing pattern but I did notice that the one I had with any of that coloring on their faces ended up being hens. All of my jet black ones were roo‘s. Not sure if that’s typical, just my experience.

    Silkie pullet?

    I’m really hoping this is a pullet. Thoughts? I have another one that is identical in all the ways I can tell. Size, feathering and temperament is spot on. 7-ish weeks old.
