I am drowning in frizzle chicks (black, white, brown), satin chicks, silkies - one week old. My girl hid eggs and they are everywhere. I also have a juvenile roo (black fluffy pic) and an adult Mottled Houdan Rooster. He's very friendly. I have way too many chickens, plz send help...

Hey does my duckling look like a boy? Hoping she's a girl because she's loving my flock, but if she's a boy I am concerned about mating. She's in between 1 and 2 months so can't tell by the quack. Very new at ducks, maybe I just need to be patient

I had an awful bobcat massacre that wiped out half of my flock, so we were so excited that one of our remaining eggs hatched. I have no idea what breed she is as we have a few unique guys if you could lend a hand! My roosters were a silver laced polish and a white silkie. My hens were either...

I have a rooster and must move. Most of the places I've looked at are within these zones. I am unsure how to find out if we can have a rooster within these zones. Anyone have any hints? Also seeking pro tips for finding homes in the appropriate zones. I've visited breeders in these cities...

Apologies if this is silly, but I've been super curious. My rooster puts on a dance for the ladies, and lately he's been dancing for some of my straight runs, ranging from 1 month to 6 months old - he picks specific birds in my flock of young ones and dances for them? Can roosters instinctually...

Hi I have an 11 wk silver laced polish that I am confused about. Her brother started crowing a couple weeks ago and got a bunch of red bits around his face. This morning when all of my roosters were going off, the bird in question made one weird yell. I have a couple hens who scream with my...

Hi I have one hen in my flock of 14 who I got about two weeks ago. I noticed at the beginning of the week she regurgitated/vomited 1x a night - she would do it just one time and then act totally fine? Tonight I was looking at her and one of her eyes was just a little goopy and her beak looked a...

Hello! First time houdan & spitzhauben (golden spangled) owner - we're about 7 weeks and I noticed some red bits on these two birds. Are these both male?

Hey! I have 3 Polish chicks that I am questioning. Hennifer is the buff/yellow one (first 2 images). She has a very round bouffant so I thought she was a girl, but she's growing some red bits on her face that are making me question everything. My last two are silver laced polish, I thought they...

I posted the footage here because I was just so excited to get her movement on camera, but am I going nuts or are there two chicks in here? Or is that just her absorbing the yolk? She should be a little over two weeks along.

I ordered some Polish birds from a hatchery and got a couple extra surprises in the box. Any idea what these guys are? Is the last one of them just a polish boy?

I pressed the wrong button when doing an online shipment of Polish chicks and other crested chicks. In summary I need to distribute about 20 Polish chicks ASAP. Arrival date is expected to be Feb 9. They will be newly hatched. Please help. I feel silly. I am currently open to advice, creative...

My rooster is still getting the hang of things, but I've let my broody Silkie sit for about seven days and I am not sure that the eggs are doing much? I am letting her hatch naturally / no incubator as I live in the desert. Was just wondering if these look viable. I noticed the air sack is...

My silkie rooster, Monte Muffiano, is 6+ months old and in a flock of four hens and no other roosters. He crowed one singular time a few months ago and that's it. 100% silent. All his siblings and his dad started crowing loudly at two months old. Is it possible that he'll be silent? He used to...

My rooster (year old Silkie) seems to have a goopy/bubbly eye. Other than that he is not crowing quite as frequently or chasing hens the same, but still has an appetite and is running around just fine (not lethargic). Our vet can't see us for a few more days and I'm worried about him. We've...

I just came back to town last night and found an unexpected baby chick. Our flock is pure silkie. Some of the hens really want to be around the baby, but mostly Kylo Hen. Kylo Hen doesn't love that the other hens wants to be involved, but isn't putting up a big fight about it. I've been trying...

Hi! I'm doing a presentation on which chickens are the best and the worst. I'm rating them mostly based on their temperament, but also on egg laying (or lack thereof) and I'd love your input and experiences.

Hi, I'm creating an informative video about culling Silkie roosters. I understand that it has a purpose, but I'm personally not a huge fan of the practice. I am doing an experimental treatment with my roo, Coco (Suprelorin implant) in hopes that others who have raised Silkies and become attached...

Hello! Kylo Hen and I are completely attached to my rooster (Silkie), so giving him up is not really an option for us. He's very snuggly, social and he thinks he's a puppy. He's always quiet except for during the sunrise. Otherwise, I don't hear him, ever. He even stopped crowing for two months...

We have a joke in the household now that our chicken breeder sold us a pigeon. So we tried picking up another Silkie to join our flock, and although this bird has some Silkie, I have no idea what else she could be? The breeder's "Silkie" laying chickens hardly looked Silkie themselves. Hopefully...
