    What breed could be my multi-color rooster?!

    Hello everyone, I bought one of my roosters at TSC and I'm not sure what breed he is because when I bought my 4 chickens, the TSC staff marked all of them as leghorns which was "wrong". I think he may be a blue splashed Wyandotte x Easter Egger. EXTRA: I'm also thinking to buy some mealworm...

    Leghorn hen broody or not?!!

    Hello everyone, I have 4 cute chickens and one of them "Smiley" (Leghorn) acts like she is broody but I'm not quite sure though. It's very rare for leghorns to be broody from what I know.

    Chicken spies

    Hello everyone! About a year ago I had a flock of 25 chickens including 24 hens and 1 fine gentlemen. A few hens got sick and we expected that so then we were down to about 20.

    Is this Bumblefoot? How can I cure it?

    I recently saw my sister's chicken, Beb, limping around. I picked her up and checked her foot to see some sort of 'scab'. It might be bumblefoot, but since I'm a new chicken owner, this is my first case of whatever this is. Based on basic images, I can't decide whether it is or not, and what to...

    Can anyone tell me what this disease is?

    Please let us know what this is and what we can give her. So far we are isolating her, feeding her medicated food. She is still eating in the yard, but her eyes are closed. She is walking funny-feet swollen. Poor thing. Someone said atheletes powder, but not sure if it would help
