    6 New chicks' possible breeds?

    I've seen the black one with the fluffy feathers on his head try to mount our hens and the two black ones challenge each other. Where the other two don't do that and are more timid.

    New Black Australorp chicks - Gender guesses?

    Today I saw this pullet? jump down off a roost and chest bump another pullet. Her comb is much larger than the others of the same age (17 weeks) It's really hot in SC right now so they are all walking around with their beaks open. (Plenty of shade & cool water is available)

    Curled toes in 6 week old chick

    We noticed Saturday one of our 6 week old chicks was moving a little slow. Sunday she wasn't walking and as a result was pecked on the head pretty bad causing bleeding. (The peck isn't why she's not walking, it happened when my daughter went to get her to check out her feet) We treated the head...

    Oh no! We were just trying to help them not be wild like the last chicks hatched by a broody. I didn't even think we would be breaking their bond. I thought of it as giving her an hour to take a break from them. Our (different hen) broody left her chicks at 6 weeks last year and her chicks are...

    We have been bringing the chicks in for snacks (cooked egg yolk) and snuggles. Mother hen always calls them to her when we bring them back to the coop, BUT tonight she was up on a roost bar with the other hen and ignored them when they ran around chirping and looking for her. I finally got them...

    Chicken ate a plastic zip tie

    I was putting zipties on the legs of my 3 week old chicks (for identification) and one of them snatched up a small piece and swallowed it before I could get it away from them. It was maybe 3mm long. Was the chicken from this post ok?

    New baby pics. Down to 5 chicks, one went missing last Sunday. (We suspect the neighbors dog) They are now almost 3 weeks old, we stole them from their mama for some cuddle time so they will be tame 😍

    Hen or Roo?

    I have a 3 year old Rhode Island Red chicken. Pretty sure she's a hen, but she is so much bigger than our other RIR girls and has been since they were chicks. We don't have a rooster, could she have decided to take on the roll? She has done the dance at me with her wing down but doesn't flog me...

    My Black Australorp went broody. Since we don't have a rooster, I got her some hatching eggs. The person I got the eggs from has Blue Australorp hens but her rooster is a mystery...she knows he is half Blue Australorp but unsure of his father. Possibly silkie since he has 5 toes and some...

    My broody hen left the nest!

    I candled last night and saw movement in 6 of the 7 (pretty sure it was a quitter already but I had left it just in case) I looked in on her again late last night and she was still on them. BUT this morning she was out with the other girls, I went to check before leaving for work and she had...
