It’s gotten worse over the past couple days so I’ve moved her inside so the other chickens won’t pick on her(I don’t think they will anyways because she’s the largest in...

I think she is a leghorn mix, she still lays eggs, but she is around 4 years old as of last month. Shes my last chicken from my original flock so I’ve been keeping a close eye on her. I...

    Ever shipped poultry?

    I have shipped birds and had birds shipped to me. I just wanted to see what people on here have experienced compared to the breeders on facebook.

    Missing Toes on Both Feet

    So, I bought some top quality breeder birds (Wyandotte bantams) from a well known breeder. He won 5th best bird in a show of 10,600 birds at Ohio Nationals last year. The birds I got are offspring of that winning bird. They are great birds and are filling out very nicely. I noticed though that...

    Doing a test run of the new solar electric fence...

    I am diving into a much needed project. If you don't want to read the back story, just scroll down to the bold text :) I breed and exhibit poultry and waterfowl. The catch is that I don't really have any land to keep my birds on. Technically I do have land, but it's about an hour and a half...

    Is this a guinea or a chicken?

    We found this little baby hiding in our yard a few days ago. It looked after itself for two days(we don't know how long it's already been doing that before we found it) until we took it in when predators tried to catch it. We're trying to find a home for it now, but can't figure out what it is...

    Swollen red and WHITE comb!!!

    Hopefully someone can help me out here! I have a two year old chicken who has always had a very large comb. It stays flopped to the side for the most part. I noticed her comb swollen some a couple weeks ago and just kept an eye on it. There was no change. But today she is standing next to her...

Wondering what breed it may be and if it’s looking like hen...
