    How I dealt with 3 broodies

    I had 2 hens sitting on nests (planned) at the same time. Then another hen went missing and we thought she may be sitting on a nest too somewhere we couldn't find her (we are very remote and they can go anywhere). When the first 2 broodies hatched their eggs 2 weeks ago, the missing one also...

    Beautiful…..hybrid?

    Hello all- I was given this chicken as a baby and was told she would be a welsummer , clearly that is not the case. All of the other spring chicks have doubled & tripled in size and even the bantams are larger. She is so pretty and very friendly, but I would love to know if anyone knows what...

    My pekin x silkie comb is red/orange is it a male?

    Hello, my pekin cross silkie is around 20 days old. I bought him/her from a straoght run and noticed its comb turning orange/red. He/she is really calm and isn't noisy and likes being held but can be quite skittish at times,does this mean it's a cockerel?

    Overheated?

    It is currently about 60 degrees and sunny where I am. I brought my almost 5 week old chicks out to play and a few of them were laying like this in the sun. I assumed they were overheated and brought them to a shaded area, but I’m not entirely sure. They’re doing fine now. Thoughts?

    I have some 4 week old chicks, I know all the other breeds except this one chick who I can’t seem to tell exactly what it is. I thought she was a golden laced Wyandotte but she looks nothing like our other one. Can anyone help out and tell me maybe what breed she or he is? Does this one just...

    Introduction :)

    Hi everyone, thought I'd make a little introduction post since I just made this account. I've had chickens my whole life, but got more in to them recently during Covid. I have somewhere near 40 right now, but that number will be growing shortly. I have many breeds, standard size, bantam, and the...

    Feed lifting ideas? Lol.

    Okay… so I’m experimenting with different things to see if the chicks can spill out the feed. I tried an old brick from my garage. Thoughts?

    DIY chick brooder

    Not sure this is the right category for this but I wanted to share our DIY brooder! The property we own looked like a hippy commune dump ground when we bought it. There was random junk everywhere and a little 2 room A-frame cabin that needs A LOT of TLC so ignore the mess and the graffiti on the...

    Hoping to tell gender

    HI All, I posted earlier trying to see if anyone had some guesses on gender of these chicks they are silkie mixes so I know that can be hard one of them is 14,5 weeks the other two are 12.5 weeks. I am hoping that if it is thought these are males that I can rehome them while they are still...

    Can you tell what Gender they are??

    HI ! I had two broody hens this fall and one of my Barred rocks managed to hoard 3 eggs (long story) she hatched one and then left the other two so my very good always broody silkie took over the nest and hatched the other two. I know who the dad is but not sure who the actual momma is, two of...
