Ok so I basically have two flocks. 6 two year olds and 5 sixteen week olds. They are divided most of the time by chicken wire, but sometimes I let them all outside together. Trying to integrate slowly as the littles aren’t laying yet and are still smaller. I notice that for the most part when...

I have a 12 week old Ameraucana/Easter Egger who I believe has developed something like scoliosis in her neck possibly her back as well. It’s just crooked and her wing hangs down a little. Anyway, she is the absolute sweetest thing I’ve ever incountered. She always wants to be held and basically...

I currently have 8 week old pullets that are now in a separate area where they can see my 2 year old hens. My question is will a broody hen except young pullets better than a none broody hen? I have a Buff Orpington that almost goes broody once a month and curious if she would take to them...

I have 4 Ameraucana EE’s. They are 4 weeks old. The grey one has a comb coming in that’s clearly bigger than the rest. Is jumping around on everything and everyone. Is their any chance that this is not going to be a Rooster? My last batch I had all hens although some people told me I had a Roo...

So this is my second time raising baby chicks. This time I have 4 Easter Eggers that are mostly in the Ameraucana Family a Speckled Sussex and a Sapphire Gem which I got just a few days after the EE’s so they are a little younger but not by much. They are now about 4 weeks old. The problem is...

Hi, so my favorite girl when they were chicks has recently started to attack peck me. She is not a rooster, she has been laying for a little over a month. I noticed a change in behavior towards me around the time that she started laying. Could it be hormonal? I’ve had a couple girls go broody in...

I’m thinking of adding Maran pullets to my 6 girls next year. I have 2 BOs, 2 BAs, and to EEs (Cream Legbar mix) what has your experience been with Maran pullet behavior/temperament. I’d like to have extremely friendly docile birds (wouldn’t we all 😁) I feel like the descriptions on the internet...

Hi, I’m thinking about adding to my flock of next spring and looking for calm, docile, friendly birds. I have 2 BOs, 2 BAs and 2 Crested Legbar mixes (EEs) Temperament is very important to me but after searching the internet over I cannot find any decent definitions for what the different...

I have a 3.5 gallon nipple water feeder that my chickens are using. Before I got it I was changing the water twice to 5 times a day, because they would poop in it, get bedding in it and then tip it over 😣. Just gross. Now nothing gets in it. 😁 But I’m not sure how often I should be changing the...

Hi BYC, so I have 6 girls but I want to see if anyone thought otherwise. I have two BO’s which you can see together, one is a little bigger and has bigger and redder comb and waddle. They are almost 9 weeks. I have two BA one has a black comb the other has a light comb. They are also almost 9...

Hi friends, my babies are 8 and 9 wks and have been out in their coop for their first wk. I’ve had the heat lamp on and the lowest it’s gotten out there is 56 however it’s going to get into the upper 30’s tonight so the coop will probably be in the 40’s. Will the girls be ok? Or do I need more...

I never thought I’d be a chicken lady but it’s official I am. 🤣I got my first chicks ever the end of March. 2 Easter Eggers, 2 Buff Orpingtons, and 2 Black Australorps. I’m oddly a little afraid of birds so my goal was getting and raising the friendliest and best egg producers. No eggs yet, they...
