We recently acquired two white leghorn (hopefully) pullets to add to our flock of 3. I separated areas of both the coop and run with wire, have been feeding them near each other, etc. the leghorns have now gone through both the wire in the coop and the run, despite the pecking from older birds...

Little worried about Round Chicken. She’s around 4-5 years old, red sex link. We don’t know exactly how old she is, but I’d say minimum 4. Eating and drinking fine, no other behavioral changes I’ve noticed. She’s moving around fine as well. I’ve attempted to put in a video- let me know if it...

Hi all! In school, I'm learning about codominant genes. Are BBS genetics an example of codominant genes? If so, what colorings are? Thank you for the help!

It's been a hot minute since I was last on here and I've changed a lot as a person since then. I remember loving it so I wanted to come back. Reintroduction: Heyhey! I have a small flock of standard chickens- three Red Sex Link hens. Their names are Ruth Bader-Chicksburg, Poppy, and Round...

I know there are a bunch of other photo threads, but I wanted to post some of my pictures. I'm really happy with them!

Hi! I'm helping out at a farm and we want to tag all of the chickens with numbered leg bands. I'd love to hear people explain their tagging system! I'd ideally like to have each bird have a unique number.

Here is a thread for all those who compete with their dogs! Any sort of titling counts. I'll go first. I am training my golden retriever, Finn (AKC Pond's Fast Fish TKN), for Rally and Scentwork (maybe some obedience down the road), and then also 'pet' titles in the Canine Good Citizen and trick...

I apologize if this is in the wrong forum- I was unsure where to put it. I am helping to run a project for some of the younger students at my school that will follow hatching eggs. This project will take place in the spring and will probably use cream legbar eggs or some other sex linked breed...

Hello all- I'm concerned about my red sex link hen. I believe that she's over 2 years old. She's been broody for a while, and is now going through a very hard molt, so there are almost no feathers left on her body. She hasn't been laying for several months, now, because she's been brooding. She...

I'm trying to improve my pet photography and photo editing. I'd love any feedback/advice! Original: Edited: Original: Edited:

I've got a very determined broody and would like nothing more than to see her with chicks. I've got a few questions: Is it possible to just stick hatchery/TSC chicks under her? Is it safe for her to raise the chicks in the fall? What happens if the other chickens pick on them? (she's the lowest...

My red sex link, Round Chicken, has decided to go broody TWO FRICKIN DAYS before a big storm hits. I've taken her eggs and put her back on the roost but I don't know how I can break her if starting on Sunday we'll be stuck inside and the girls will be closed into their coop. I don't want her to...

This is a post to help my friends’ bird as she doesn’t have BYC. Her 6 year old Easter egger hen has been lethargic, moving slowly and just standing around. She can move fast if encouraged to, but has been acting unusually slow. Her poop is yellowy and watery, and actually built up on her vent...

I am writing an article for the BYC learning center, and I need pictures of a lot of chicken breeds. I will give credit if I use your picture. The breeds that I need are: Bantam Cochin (any color, but not frizzle) Black Copper Marans Black Sex link Blue Laced Red Wyandotte Barred Plymouth Rock...

basically what the title says. The ad in the corner is appearing over my notifications, not allowing me to scroll.

I have four birds that are all currently being treated for scaly leg mites. Tillie (white leghorn) gets the vaseline on her feathers while sleeping, and dirt sticks to her. SHe's now super dirty and the dirt won't come of when she shakes- how can I clean her up? I don't have a picture atm but I...

I have one white leghorn, who lays white eggs, as expected, and three red sex links, who lay brown eggs, as expected. However, there's so much variation in their egg colors that you'd think I have five different breeds that lay different browns! We can make a full gradient in an egg carton and...

Is this a thing that people do? Do the chickens like the coop as is (with natural light from windows, pop door, and vents, but still pretty dark) or would they be happier if they had a light in the coop to make it brighter during the day? I don't want to be forcing egg laying through winter...
