    Help Sexing These 8 Week Old Chicks

    I cannot for the life of me tell which of my chicks are male or female. They hatched 8 weeks ago and they just all look the same to me. Minus the one with the leg issue 😂 Anyway, I have a hen with a really long tail that seems to be the mom of quite a few of these babies which confuses me. None...

    Can you mix 6 week old chickens with one 8 week old chicken?

    Can you mix 6 week old chickens with one 8 week old chicken? Because the 8 week old chicken is pecking one of them. Thanks.

    My Four Chickens

    This is Cambria, my 5 month old bearded silkie/polish cross. She's a bit of a foodie and will peck my hands to see if I have any treats for her. I don't actually know if she or any of my chickens are females yet, but fingers crossed. ~ This is Blizzard, my non-bearded silkie/polish cross...

    Silkies with what appears to be Cataracts

    Hey, I am new to owning chickens, but I have been passionate about chickens for a long time, as I truly love the bird deeply. I am really worried about my 2, 10 week old silkies hens. When I first got them, one seemed to have a very dull cloudy spot in her left eye. As time went on I noticed...

    Overly Friendly Chicken?

    Hi there, this is my first time trying to post so I hope that I'm writing this in the right forum and I apologize for the length. So, I have a flock of eight chickens, all of them almost two months old and they were all raised together. All of them are very tame, but one of them stands out...

    Help! Integrating 7 week old chicks/new hen

    So long story short, I had a nice flock of 5 hens. 3 Buffs and 2 cinnamon queens (sex link). My girls are about 2 years old. My partner and I split up and couldn't agree on who got the chickens so we split them. I took my favorite Buff and Queen. The Queen was attacked by a dog when she was...

    Chicken tilting head all the way back and rolling it side to side, loss of balance

    Hello all, My parents have a backyard chicken coop with 8 chickens. 3 days ago, I noticed one speckled sussex not in the henhouse with the others. I picked her up and placed her on her stick with the other chickens in her normal spot, because the weather at night has been between 10 and 20...

    Help! Chicks escaped!

    Hello. I have a small farm in my backyard with twelve chickens (six juvenile, six fully adult layers.) Our fence is secure all around our yard, but we have a wooden gate with big gaps. I didn’t have any issues until yesterday, when I found them on the front lawn. I tried to block the holes, but...
