I have what I think are two young hens,
(Buff Orphington+Barred Brahma about 6 wks old) but as worried as I am I'm always second guessing! We have one roo and no room for another, any guesses?
Hello I've been impatiently waiting 7 weeks now for my 14 chicks to be big enough to identify gender.
I'm sadly thinking I have all boys...
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Hi guys me again another question about the runt that hatched (we call them chicken nugget now :love)
About a week ago we found what looked to be a bubble we decided to keep an eye on it when we realized it was the babies crop!:eek: It’s not a question about the crop but more on where it is, the...
I’m no stranger to backyard birds, I’ve had chickens when I was younger and I have ducks now. I live In New Jersey and where I live it’s pretty uncommon to have ducks or chickens as pets, so I feel pretty alone when I need help or advice. I recently lost my male Peking, Kevin and so now I only...
My favorite chookie, and I’m curious and can’t seem to figure it out. They are nearly nine weeks old and is the sweetest thing. I have another hen who is the same age and is a very obvious hen, but with this one I can’t seem to come up with a definitive answer.... what do you all think? :/
I got 6 isa brown chicks from my local tractor supply but 4 of them are reddish brown and 2 are speckled color. I’m thinking their a different breed but idk what. Any ideas?
So I’ve been asking a lot of questions about my chicks and I am very greatful that you guys are answering me! But I had a question for dust bathes for chicks but I will later on use when they are grown up. This is my first flock that I have had and I have been reading that they need dust baths...
I have purchased 15 turkeys that I plan to sell for meat . However I can’t seem to find a straight answer on wether they should be using perches/roosts . I read that these can lead to breast blisters? So if I plan to sell them for meat should they or shouldn’t they have a perch/roost?
We got some chickens from the local feed store, and the silver ones were labeled as Silver Laced Wyandottes, but we have a friend who also had SLWs and said her chicks didn't look the same. Any idea what they could be if not SLW. The Easter egger we got was supposed to be a hen, but it's a roo...
Hi! First, Admins, you're doing a GREAT job and I love you and obviously love BYC. Two things you could help me with:
1. When I'm going through my Alerts, I notice that some of them, not all, have tiny little yellow "sunshine" looking icons in them. They don't always go away after I click on...
When I log in, there is a box I can check or uncheck before I log in, saying "STAY logged in." It's always clicked on. How can I stay logged in if I'm not logged in yet? Should I leave it like that? Why is that an option, what does it do? Thanks for somebody 'splainin' it to me. (I don't know...
Usually I'm able to tell the sex of a duck pretty easily but in this case I'm completely stumped. My duck (Lady Marble) Looks like a female but she doesn't quack like the other females but when she does quack it sounds like female. Im also confused because of the white collar around her neck...
we had a broody who hatched this egg. It wasn’t hers, just a fertilized egg we got from the feed store. The egg was a greenish tealish blueish color, but this hopefully a girl looks just like a Barred Rock. Could she just be a mix?
So my hen decided to lay her eggs and sit in a horrible spot instead of the nesting boxes. We have this long storage table on our back porch, and she tucked herself away in the dark, dirty corner behind a chainsaw (it's in a case). This table is pretty high up, and we have a dog out there. He...
Looking offspring?? Not the breed but a similar pattern to a SPECKLED susseX, if that makes sense.
And if so, how long will it take to show spots? Awhile like it takes a mottled breed?
Heads up, I'm asking BC My Mother in law she seems to think a bb red game crossed with A Japanese mottled...

Ok so I was wondering if I should get chickens from my local feed store or by mail, I already know I should never get chicks from TCS, but I want expert opinion...
