Okay friends I’m getting super tired of my freeloaders! All my hens are around 2 years old, all heritage breeds except for a couple that are only 1. I expected them to slow down their laying but not completely stop! I haven’t received any eggs since early spring where I received only a few...

I went to fill waters today and noticed my chicken just sitting in one spot in the snow so I picked her up and brought her inside, I noticed her left eye won’t open. She was also extremely thirsty but she’s waking around now that she’s inside and acting fine other than her eye that is still...

Desperately need to downsize my flock before winter, help me figure out which are pullets and which are cockerels do I can list them as such #1. #2. #3. #4. #5. #6.

This is my Australian shepherd who just had puppies 4 weeks ago. She’s a pretty active dog who loves running and rolling in the mud so we can never keep her fully clean, but lately with her feeding pups we noticed her fur started to mat and is now giving her terrible sores. We’ve given her a...

My rooster is just now reaching around 5 months old and I’ve noticed him trying to mount the ladies but never actually seen him succeed 😬 these were my eggs this morning and I’m wondering if they look like a fertile bullseye or if they’re still infertile.

I’ve got a little chick that had pasty butt so I washed it up to clear it’s vent but it looks like it possibly has a prolapse? Do I dare put it back with the other chicks or will they peck him to death?

Okay so my chicks under my broody hen just started to hatch today, tomorrow is day 21. One successfully hatched then when the next hatched the momma hen pushed it away and didn’t keep it warm underneath her. I took it out and put it to warm in my incubator but this is my first time hatching with...

Let’s play guess the breed! I hatched this one out 3 months ago from some backyard mixes I got from a friend. I’m not sure what breeds she has so the sky’s the limit when it comes to guessing. While the colouring is off I’m thinking she looks a lot like a legbar.

went to my brooder to check on my chicks and noticed blood in the brooder and this baby hardly moving, what would cause this and is she a lost cause?

It’s finally hatching day! I’ve had 5 eggs hatch so far out of 11. The others still don’t have pips, does this mean they won’t hatch at all or is it possible they will just hatch later?

I’m setting up my brooder currently as my eggs are pipping, I have some bags of sand that I was wondering if I can use or if the sand has too large of pebbles. If not what is the easiest bedding to clean?

So I started my eggs on January 2nd at 1pm, is today (January 20) lockdown or do I start lockdown tomorrow? hatching barnyard mixes

I’m incubating a dozen eggs right now and going into my second week, what should my humidity levels be at? I’ve been trying to keep it at about 50% but I’ve been struggling!

Okay ever since I got Shelby she’s been an unhealthy chicken, always wants to be left alone and is very flighty. I brought her inside today because of the frostbite on her comb and she had one solid poop and is now shooting out diarrhea! At this point I’m just not sure what to do with her. For...

I’ve had this chicken quarantined for almost a week now because I noticed something off with her poop. New chicken mama so I don’t know much about diseases or sickness. Wondering if maybe a sign of worms? (This is under the roosting board, the rest of the area is clean. Just have a board there...

Noticed this poop tonight on my nightly check. It’s from my new chick that I got a week ago. She’s 9 weeks old. It’s got red in it and I’m not sure if that’s healthy or not? What’s your thoughts?

I might buy this chicken and I’m wondering your guesses on what breed it is. It seems to have a pea comb so thinking ameraucana cross or brahma cross. I don’t see a beard but can an Ameraucana cross not have a beard? I’m really hoping it would lay a coloured egg but if it’s leaning more towards...

I only have one laying hen that I bought a few weeks ago that laid two eggs for me then stopped laying! I thought maybe it was the stress of the move being with all new chickens but it’s going on too long for it to just be stress. My guess is molting since she’s missing some feathers around her...

I have two white chickens that I was told were erminettes when I got them at 4 weeks old. Clearly they don’t have the erminette markings but I didn’t notice any of the other so called erminettes having the splash colouring either. Wondering if that’s really what they are or if they’re just...
