When I add Denagard to the waterers and start spraying in the water, the bubbles start getting a little brown film over them the more I add the water. When I turn off the water, there are brown spots floating around. I used it last winter, and I don't remember that happening. I tried a few...

I believe I have 2 Silver Penciled Bantam Cochins. I got them from the bantam bin at the feed store. I know it may be too soon to tell, but to me, it seems Chick #1 has an already obvious comb. These pictures were taken almost a week ago, and his comb seems even pinker now. So that has me...

My friend gave me some eggs March 15th. I put some under a broody hen, and they're due this weekend. I had some eggs leftover, so I kept them on the kitchen bar in the egg carton, in case another hen went broody. Today, I have another broody hen, but now I'm thinking it might be too late to give...

Looking for some name suggestions for this cockerel. Thanks!

Found in southeastern NC. Picture taken at night in outside storage building.

If a hen eats a full meal (filling up her crop), how long does it take to go down (if she's not eating no more to add to it)? I've never paid that much attention to it, and I'm dealing with a crop issue currently. Her crop was completely down this morning, so I started back feeding her...

I had felt my hen's crop earlier today, and it felt soft, but it was kind of on the big side. I was thinking it might be sour crop. Later, she had ate, and it felt hard. Generally, do crops feel hard after eating? Or is this a sign that it is indeed impacted. I have her separated from the others...

almost 3 month old Ameraucana / Maran cross

I have nine Speckled Sussex I purchased from TSC in February. I just took a few close ups today (could even be some the same bird)... But I wanted to know if they're old enough to sex by their combs and wattles. Any guesses on these? And I can always get more pictures. Thanks in advance.

I purchased 6 chicks Sunday, and one chick was born not long before I got it. Once I got them home, they mainly wanted to get warm and nap. Yesterday, Monday, they were all eating and drinking fine, except the one newborn. I have seen it drink a lot, so no problem there. However, I have not seen...

At what age can you start telling boys from girls with hatchery Sussex chicks? We have 9 chicks, that are 4 weeks old right now, and at this point, I have no idea. lol Thanks.

I saw this picture on Facebook, and all I can think is ***!... and that looks painful. How common is this? Poor chicken!

My newest silkie cockerel is keeping a poopy butt. I brushed it out once, and it got bad again, so I'm going to wash him this time. I know they sometimes get dirty bums, but I just wanted to ask and make sure that it's not a sign of anything? Not sure, but his seems to be the dirtiest one I've...

I recently moved and brought my chickens to a new home/pen. I believe one now has Cocci. First signs showing ( a young chick )... I want to treat the flock with Corid (Amprolium) the powder one from TSC, as my flock is very small and staying in one pen together. How much do I put in a gallon...

How much of the liquid safeguard goat dewormer would you give to an adult silkie? 1/4 cc or 1/2 cc ?

This chicken came from an egg I hatched for my neighbor, but he never came to get him/her. I don't remember the exact hatch day, but it was sometime this Summer. I'm not familiar with this type of comb, so I have no idea on the sex. I actually want a LF rooster to keep with my laying hens, so...

I have a chick that I heard chirping last night in an egg under a hen. This morning at 8:30, I checked it, and it had made a small hole. Now, over 12 hours later, he's still not out! Should I be worried? Should I help yet? The hole is just slightly bigger, and he's not chirping away like he was...

I'm not familiar with this type of comb. I want to say rooster, but I would like to know what others have to say.

I had to put 2 polish pullets in with my silkies about a month ago because of a hawk problem with my free rangers. I just purchased another silkie pullet (which will make 5 in the pen), and I'm also in the process of selling extra chickens and making plans for housing during the cooler months...
