Hey there! I have two bantam ameraucanas that I got back in December 2021 as pullets so I don’t know their exact age. One of them, Rocky, started laying in February (which was surprising) and she laid consistently up until a few weeks ago and then stopped. She shows no signs of being unhealthy...

Hi there! I currently have a small mixed back yard flock of chickens and after they were off starter/grower feed I was advised to switch to an all flock and offer oyster shells so I started feeding the dumor all flock. In the next week I’m welcoming in some chicks and was looking into the...

I have a silkie who started laying roughly two weeks ago now and in the past few days I caught her sleeping in the nesting box which she never did before, always roosted with my other chicken. I started paying more attention and noticed that she spends a good amount of time in there but does...

This is Betty! She’s about about 6 months or so and started laying about a month ago but I'm not entirely sure what breed she is! Any guesses? Included a picture of her eggs incase that helps at all!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a cute/rustic/timeless name for my coop and am completely stumped! It’s a small backyard flock of 5, a mystic onyx, two silkies, an Americana and a fayoumi! So probably no “farm” names. I also live on a lake called Gardner lake so maybe something with that might be...

Here are my latest additions to the flock! The left is our Ameraucana who we've named Sugar since she's such a sweetheart and to the right is our Fayoumi who we're still thinking of the perfect name for her! (welcoming any name suggestions!) They're currently settled in well in their integration...

Just wanted to share my coop and run progress! Their coop is inside the shed, we sectioned off a good chunk for them and have been working on the run. I think it's safe to say they like it, still a few more small things to do but over all done for them :)

I currently have 3 chickens, I got them all end of March beginning of April of this year as chicks. Two are silkies and one is a mystic onyx. They're currently on chick starter grower, when should I be switching them to layer? Should I wait until they're laying or do you switch to help start...

Yesterday afternoon we lost our sweet girl Bramble to a fox. Luckily we were able to catch what was happening in time to save the rest. This happened in their run which we are already working in making it better and getting better (smaller holes) wire however any tips on getting rid of the fox...

First time silkie owner here Does anyone know any signs to look for when trying to identify the gender of a silkie?? I have two and one is show quality and one is pet quality so I'm sure they'll be a little different but looking for signs to look for in hopes that I have two females! If you have...

First time chicken owner but have been around them for years and had ducks as a child! I currently have 4 chickens, a mystic onyx, a Plymouth blue rock and two silkies. I’ve learned so much from here and can’t wait to continue learning to give my feathered children the best life possible!

I recently started my back yard flock and I have two hens (a mystic onyx and a Plymouth blue rock) that are about 3ish months old and I added two silkies that are around a month younger however the silkies were straight run and I’m starting to see signs that one of them may be a roo. Would this...
