My candler is cheap. But I’m new to the chick hatching game and wanted to see if this was a dud egg or not? It’s black all around? Put them in incubator around the 28th or so of April. If any one has any tips I would love to be a better candler.

Hey there! I am assuming this is due to mating as spring time is here but about 4 of my chickens have bald spots. I have bantam frizzle rooster and I guess he is trying to mate! This is my first time having a rooster in my flock. Here is a photo. I’m hoping folks will give me ideas on how to...

I have a chicken who keeps pacing in her run to her coop. when she is in her coop she is scratching all of the bedding out of her nesting box like she is mad that I put it there. But it’s to the point where she is scraping the bottom with her nails and just won’t stop. What in the heck is...

Hey guys!! My girls started laying and this is the first year for some!! I purchased a couple olive eggers last year. And I think one ended up laying blue eggs. I heard somewhere that the earlobes of your chicken can help dictate what color egg they lay (is this true?) Here is the color...

Hey guys! So I bought a couple chicks from the store. I have a black copper maran chick and he/she is aggressive. Idk if that’s common for the breed or what. But every time my hand goes in it pecks at me. None of the other chicks do this. I got them on March 7th Let me know if you need...

Just have a micro egg and was curious to know why my hen would lay this and what’s inside? Mini yolk and white? All yolk? All white? lol I don’t want to crack it yet because it’s so cute.

Hey there! I have quite a few chickens and I was thinking about taking a couple out at a time to clean up the garden etc but I wanted to know how long a chicken can be away from its flock before they have to be re introduced? All my girls would be rotated out in pairs to clean up the garden...

Hey I wasn’t sure where to put this little question so I’m sorry if it’s not in the right place. But I was wondering how soon your quail lay after your chickens start (if you have both) My chickens just started laying here and there. Some are some are not but I just wanted to know what that...

Hey guys!!! I was at my local north 40 and I saw these chickens that they will have available soon. One day green egger and the other says olive. I was wondering what the difference is other than the look of the chicken! I am looking to add a second olive egger to the flock that lays a deep...

Hey guys. When we went outside tonight to do a final chicken check we found our rooster face down in the dirt. Thinking he was dead we went to pick him up and he moved. We have been trying to get him GRADUALLY warmed up with water. I just need to know if there’s anything else I can do ow...

Hey guys! Something broke into my quail coop and killed all but one quail it’s like they just disappeared out of the coop minus some feathers outside of it. Idk what even got in really? The holes to the coop are so small… Anyhow… I don’t want the single quail to be lonley and was wondering...

Okay. So my quail has a huge swell on her joint. And it’s not going away. It has doubled in size over the weeks I don’t have an avian vet near me at all. The closest one is 200 miles away or so. They just are not common in my area. I saw someone on here who lanced their birds and I cannot find...

Hey guys! I have a little sebright chicken and I’m not sure if it’s a rooster or hen. I love how small this chicken is! I read somewhere that male and female sebrights have similar feathers so they are hard to sex that way! The comb on this chicken is not red at all and hasn’t gotten red. 3.5...

Hey guys. So basically I have an Easter egger Roy who is extremely attached to a rooster we have. We have to get rid of the rooster as we are not allowed to have a rooster. Initially we thought the rooster was a hen because It didn’t crow on time and acted very hen like. They acted this way...

Hello! I have a quail who seems to be causing issues. She has been starting to try and peck my other hens in the eyes. They are the same hens that she had flocked with for a while. The only thing that’s different is the age difference. I was told she was a jumbo coturnix (she is not) and that...
