chicken

My last hatch began to hatch day 20, I did the exact same thing this time and there is nothing! No pips and not peeping. Day 21 is starting in a few hours, I’m not positive what time I set these. These dang eggs are going to give me grey hairs -_-

Hi! A few new someones are laying in my flock. aWe have 3 currently laying pretty routinely (the light and dark green eggs) but trying to guess who these recent egg colors belong too - the light brown orange ish and the purple pink. Of the 5 newest to be laying include these breeds:  Sapphire...

Hello, so my backyard is shared by my 2 chickens and 2 dogs. My concern is, will the eggs be safe to eat if the chickens spend their time pecking in grassy areas where the dogs also poop?

Hi, one of my hobbies is hatching baby ducklings and chicks and selling them. I was wondering…. What are the stipulations on selling live poultry in Kansas? How many can I sell a year without have to get a permit? Thanks

I was given this chicken a couple of months ago but the owner didn't know what it was. I assumed it was a Sapphire Gem as those seem to be everywhere now. However after comparing it to photos I have seen online I am not so sure. Sapphire Gems I have seen had yellow legs and feet and pale...

Hi, last night I noticed 1 of my hen’s eyelid is swollen some and it looks like she has some peck marks around her eye. Do you think another chicken is picking on her or is it an infection? Thank you

So a few days ago we unfortunately lost our rooster. We are not quite sure what happened as he was acting perfectly fine, when checking in the afternoon, we found him dead on top of the eggs. He was the best rooster we’ve ever had and we are not quite sure what happened. Well I would love to...

Can ducks or chickens have the herb “Chaparral” ? Thanks

This is my first time hatching any type of chicks. I have already hatched 7/16 chicks so far and they’re all fine! Now this one pipped last night sometime between 10 and 12, I went to sleep and when I woke up it was a little more open. Now it is nearly 6 and there has been no more movement. I...

I have already hatched 7 chicks so far and they’re all fine! Now this one pipped last night sometime between 10 and 12, I went to sleep and when I woke up it is not a little more open. Now it is nearly 6 and there has been no more movement. I took most chicks out and put them in the brooder a...

I have one hen that keeps developing sour crop, but I can’t figure out why I have 6 other hens, and they have never gotten it and this is the second time my chicken “Snuggles” has gotten it. Why is it only Snuggle getting it? How do I prevent it? Thank you

Hi there, My Silkie 2yr old rooster has been very lethargic this morning. I treated the flock with amperol these past 5 days, but found out my hen who was sick actually had a prolapsed vent and I think coccidiosis wasn’t the problem. I changed out the water to regular and added nutridense to it...

So I don’t know how long my silkie (lemon is her name) has been broody but I have been candling her eggs and to me they look fine but idk they’re are some what different she has been broody before but the difference in these eggs is that I can candle them from both sides idk if that’s normal...

I recently discovered faverolle chickens and all the different kinds. After looking at the different color varieties, I was especially drawn to the cuckoo faverolles and have been considering buying some. I ran into a problem though---NO ONE (that I can find) is selling them! I've looked at...

Hi, first time chicken owner here. We got 8 chickens right now and this is the only one that has a red coloring to it’s comb already. It’s also supposed to be an olive Egger. About 5 weeks old. Any guesses?

Which sorts of chicken would you say have a nice temperament, are good layers and look nice. I saw that leghorns look nice and lay about 300 eggs per year, but can be unfriendly, what would you say? If they are raised from chicks, will they be friendly? :jumpy

Hi i have an EE who has some welts i guess on her leg, they have a texture of a minor burn. I know its not an actual burn because we dont have any live heat sources at the moment. I was wondering if anyone knew what they are

Hello everyone, I am from Central Massachusetts and I have 4 hens that are about one and a half years old. I have my hens in a large over ez chicken coop, it’s been altered to have more ventilation at the top. The coop normally only stays about 5-10 degrees warmer than outside in the winter...

Looking for full sized NN Turken eggs to ship to Maryland. A diversity of plumage color is great but black or blue would get me off to a good start. If you're interested in a swap I have lots of heritage/rare chickens, ducks, turkey's, and geese. Thanks!
