    New to BYC- Seeking Opinions

    Hello everyone, I recently found this community on Facebook and it seemed like a perfect place for a beginner. Over the past few weeks, I have had this beautiful daily visitor to my property. I want to think its a rooster? I have no experience but it would be odd I think for a hen to wander...

    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...

I know some have already been written about, but it never hurts to have different perspectives. Please let me know if you guys...

    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...

    Breed and gender?

    I am new to owning chickens and need help identifying this one! 😅 I bought what was supposed to be Starlight Green Egger pullets from TS, and this one they gave me is definitely not that (at least doesn’t look anything like the others)! Wondering what breed it may be and if it’s looking like hen...

    Dead egg?

    All the rest have hatched while we were on vacation )we had someone watching them.) except this one. We figured it’d hatch out by now we collected these all about the same time. But to me it kinda looks like it stoped growing but I’m not too sure how to tell and the dark kinda blood spot on...

    What are some things YOU guys love about your chicken breed?

    I have 5 Starlight Green Egger hens, and while I feel like there isn’t too much information about them, here is what I absolutely love about them as a first time chicken owner. - I have never had aggression come from these chickens. Not even my rooster (who went to a farm). I’ve never felt like...
