    Frizzled Cochin sexing

    I bred my Millie to a calico roo and it may be too soon to tell sex but a Cochin person said I had a few Roos and I’m looking to get opinions! (Also have this copper maran and he is the only one in that pen who has a bright red comb so I’m assuming he is a roo since the other 11 marans hatched...

    Why are my chicks loosing their feathers?

    I have 50 straight run chicks and 9 straight run turkeys that are penned together. They are currently 5 weeks old. They've been doing great together! I know I'll need to separate them soon due to have fast turkeys grow. I've noticed some of my chicks are loosing their feathers. Are they old...

    BCM chicks with stunted growth

    I hatched 9 BCM chicks on April 14. They are now 9 weeks old and 2 of them are half the size of the others. They eat, drink, run, play and poop normally. They do seem to rest a little more and are easier to catch when it's time to go in at night. Is this something I should be concerned...

    Hen rejecting chicks?

    Hi everyone! I’m in a little bit of a panic rn so I’ll keep this brief. I hatched three chicks under a broody hen the other day.

    Hello! This is my first time posting here after lurking for advice while the chicks were younger. I have two adult hens (red star and ISA brown) in my backyard that I got as pullets, but after one of my hens decided to have a brief egg-eating stint (solved by the mustard-in-eggshell trick...
