    Rhode Island Red laying odd-shaped eggs and having trouble passing eggs

    My Rhode Island Red Sugar is about 2.5 years old. She was a consistent layer of perfect eggs up until this year. About 6 months ago she started laying very odd shaped eggs. They would be huge and lumpy shaped (not perfectly oval) or sometimes with a wrinkle in the shell or a complete soft...

    Ticks (disgusting!) 🤢

    What breed is this?

    Hi friends! Any guesses on what breed of chicken this is? It was a free chick that I got from Meyer Hatchery back in august. I got a lavender orpington in my order and they both looked the same as chicks so I assumed that they were both LO's. I'm pretty sure I also remember that the shipment was...

    Rooster or hen?

    Hi, I'm a newbie to raising backyard chickens. I got my first flock last month. Does anyone have any guesses on the sex of this red wyandotte? I think it might be a rooster but I have zero experience since this is my first time raising chicks. He's a little bossy and has challenged some of the...
