    Sorry I made a mistake, she does have feathered feet. And here are the whitish feathers around her cheeks

    What breed is this chicken?

    The hens do not have feathered feet. If it also helps, they have very faint strands of whitish feathers on their cheeks, I'll try and get a photo

    What breed is this chicken?

    Can anyone tell me what breed of chicken this is? If it helps, we got them from another person who gave us pekin bantams, but they're a bit bigger than our pekins. And as a bonus, the rooster on the last picture (a son of one of these breeds), is he also that breed but the rooster alternative?

    Chicken Is Not Sleeping, Squawking (Respiratory)

    No foam, bubbles, or any sort of discharge at her beak or eyes. Looking at that video, no, she isn't stridoring. I've uploaded a video taken on Wednesday of the sound she makes. It's become more frequent. She hasn't done it the past 1-2 hours, I've only heard little sneezes but I believe she is...

    Chicken Is Not Sleeping, Squawking (Respiratory)

    She is currently in our laundry (very quiet) with the door open a smidge for fresh air with only a small tiny light which can be turned off. I haven't heard her do overly-massive squawks, just her usual minor sneezes and coughs so I may be working. Yes, I'm praying they diagnose her. No chicken...

    Chicken Is Not Sleeping, Squawking (Respiratory)

    We are going to the vet at 9:30 am tomorrow (for ref, posting this at nearly 8pm), and my chicken keeps squawking and not sleeping. She's inside and I've comforted her and nothing is working. The vet said she has some sort of respiratory infection, gave her antibiotics half a week ago, they work...

    Chicken Respiratory Issues (urgent)

    They don't lay often, and when they do the egg eating is rare and normally done but just one of our chickens (not the sick one). What would you suggest is a good diet for them to have? Also I'm not sure what protein the pellets are, all I know is that they're supposed to help provide nutrients...

    Chicken Respiratory Issues (urgent)

    She (as well as everyone) usually have scratch mix (particularly sunflower seeds, wheat seeds, sorghum seeds, etc), layer pellets -whether whole or watered down, and anything else they forage. As treats, they've been given crickets and dried mealworms, however we haven't gotten those in a few...

    Chicken Respiratory Issues (urgent)

    The chicken in question is a Langshan hen, roughly 3 years old and last weighed around 1.3 kg. She has been breathing with her mouth open/audibly, whimpering noises, and stretching neck out releasing large croak-like sounds. The latter two have been only recent, around 3 days, whereas the...

    Chicken Breathing Strangely

    My chicken Carrot has been breathing with her beak open. This has happened for a while and haven't really thought much of it because I thought it was that she was puffed out when I was trying to catch and hold her, considering I primarily used to hear it when holding her. She has been doing it...

    Also thank you for the suggestion. I looked into it and yes it does look really similar. Thanks for the help

    Young chicken, any idea on breed or gender?

    Got her and the other one from a friend that has given us chickens previously. The reason she has no mother is our friends' hens were all attacked and unfortunately killed by a dog so we were given these hens to give them a better home

    Young chicken, any idea on breed or gender?

    Does anyone know the breed or gender of this baby chicken? It has fluffy cheeks, pale legs, dark gray tinted white feathers and black eyes. Sorry for the messy photo they're in the coop now. Unfortunately this little baby doesn't have a mother

    Chicken Feather Loss?

    I'm guessing it's molting then, I'm not sure if I have my meanings correct but rooster damage has to do with roosters? I have no roosters at all, not my chicken stated above either. I will say though I'm glad it's not winter or I feel like she would struggle, but yes I will take your advice for...

    Chicken Feather Loss?

    Do you think I should help her to treat it? Or will it naturally stop and let her feathers grow?

    Chicken Feather Loss?

    For the past 2 days one of my Langshan chickens, Coconut, has had a lot of feather loss. Should this be a concern? It started on the 22 when I gave them all pesten powder for their mite issues, they never usually have a reaction, but I noticed it when I ruffled it in Coconut's back feathers...

    Should I include Mumma chook in the main flock?

    On December 23rd we got a mother hen named Zhuzu, alongside her baby (gender unknown currently) Kashou, who was born on December 18th. It's been almost five weeks of them living in a cage indoors separated from the flock. Of a day, they get let out to rummage through the grass, but at night...
