    15 week old light brahma - male or female?

    This brahma is 15 weeks old and it came from a pullet bin. It has had no signs of being a male until now, it just crowed this morning? I immediately assumed it was a boy, but then I looked it up and saw that hens will sometimes crow, especially the “alpha females” of the group, and this one is...

    Unabsorbed yolk sac?

    So, I had 5 old english game bantams in the incubator, hatch day is today. Today 3 of the 5 hatched. Just a few minutes ago the 4th hatched but it has a little bit of yolk sac still exposed.

    Mice in my coop

    My current chicken coop was built into a shed but we didn’t convert the whole thing. Half of the shed is the coop, and the other half is the shed area. They have access to the shed area because the hallway in the shed is basically how they come out into their run. In our shed, we have several...
