Chickens are a favorite of our family. We brought 5 male chicks as pets and everyone is fine. However, the shopkeeper who we bought chicks feed from mistakenly replaced the normal feed with calcium feed. We fed every chicks the same feed and found that it was calcium. These feed has done...

I have a chicken, and she isn’t eating much or drinking anything. Yesterday she was doing fine, but today when i went out to my coop she wasn’t moving much. She let me pick her up e without a problem. We thought it might be because she was brooding. When we lifted her up her under belly was...

I have to go to court in October regarding my chickens. I'm new to this small town, which was sold to us as a homestead. The realtor assured me pets, chickens, and horses were all allowed. My neighbors have goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, peafowl, but for whatever reason I'm not allowed. The...

Hello, I have been concerned with feed lately since it feels like my Chickens, Chicks, Quail, and Guineas are eating it too fast or being messy with it. I mainly want to know how much feed they are supposed to eat (each poultry type) and how conserve it. I have 12, 8 month old chickens, 11 6...

I find chickens need to be caught sometimes, and I hope this will help you. 1. ROOSTING Chickens are really easy to catch while perching. Come from behind with a flashlight and gently pick up the chicken, then grasp to your chest. My usually very skittish Araucana let's me stroke her while...

Hi everyone. A friend of mine was wondering what this pair might be crossed with. I’m thinking Silkie (because of the five toes), but not sure what the other half might be. My wild guess would be Silkie x Cochin for the female, and Ameraucana x Silkie for the male? Any thoughts?

Found this egg this morning thats lighter than usual and has weird circular indentation on it. Whats wrong with the egg/hen that laid it?

Hi everybody! I'm new to this website but I've seen it advertised often while searching about chickens and other poultry. I'm not sure how to start this intro, so I'll just let these questions do it for me 💗 (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I've had chickens my...

Eleven years ago I downloaded plans for a chicken coop from BYC but alas, our timing and location just weren't right. After moving to a nice property along the Gulf Coast of Alabama we finally got enough time and space so we built a coop and got our cute baby chicks in February. All I can say...

Hi everybody, I’m new to owning chickens and have been raising babies for a week now. Today I got home after football training to see one of my chicks passed. It was the smallest chick out of all of them and I’m wondering why and if the others will follow. They’re all eating well and drinking...
