    Breed Recommendations?

    Honestly just enjoy having chickens as pets. I love my birds. Want them to mix well and be happy. I have a separate flock of larger layers but they are a bit much for the little polish at times.

    Breed Recommendations?

    What medium or small breeds are good to mix in with a flock of polish? I'm interested in adding some different breeds to my small flock. Prefer more docile nature as I don't want a lot of head pecking/bullying.

    Chicken pox!

    Has anyone got advice for dealing with fowl pox? I've had this problem once before a few months ago and it's now back again! 😕 it's affected two separate pens now, oddly enough only my roosters so far. Question 1. What should I be feeding at this time when the birds aren't feeling 100%...

    Hungry hungry hen!

    Premium poultry mix mostly, I give them a variety of things to pick at a couple times a week and no matter what it is she hogs it to herself.

    Hungry hungry hen!

    I have a hen a few years older than the rest of my flock called Bumble bee. She lost her flock mates in a fox attack about 4-5 mouths back. I kept her in her coop/run after that, no more free ranging for a while. In spring I raised some new chicks with the plan to introduce Bumble to a new flock...

    Mystery chicks?

    Yes I thought I picked the Sussex chicks lol but now I'm looking up barnevelder it seems to fit! Looks like i have two pullets and one roo. They do look pretty spectacular in the pictures I've seen. Plus all 3 chicks are very sweet and frendly so I'm still happy.

    Mystery chicks?

    I have two chicks I thought were speckled Sussex, but the colours and patterns have me thinking maybe not? Any ideas? Age 7 weeks.

    Fowl pox?

    Thank you that link is a big help. I currently have chicks just about ready to go to an outside pen, I'm hoping in a couple months they won't pick it up from the environment once introduced to the big chicken coop.

    Fowl pox?

    Is this fowl pox or just marks from pecking at each other? If it is, anything I can do about it?

    5 week old Wyandotte

    Never owned any Wyandottes before, I'm starting to pick out roos of other breeds but this one has me stumped. Any Wyandotte experts know what to look for? (Images are all the same chick)

    Thank you, yeah it's my first time raising polish, I've usually only had ISA browns, RIRs, Australorps and leghorns. Got a bit of a mix of chicks atm.

    G'day, newbie here.

    How's it going, I'm a newbie here but been around chooks most of my life. Been rasing my own flock for the last 3 years now and have worked on chicken farms in the past. I'm currently having fun with different breeds this spring and have lots to ask and learn. Anyone wanna take a guess at what...
