    Does anyone have a pullet/hen available that they're willing to ship?

    I live in a town with a 4 hen limit and unfortunately my sweet hatchery Salmon Faverolles unexpectedly dropped dead a few weeks ago :( I need something started since I only have one spot in my flock, but I've been having a heck of a time finding a pullet at this time of year. I live in Los...

    Roo or Hen? 15 week Silver laced Orpington!

    Hi! I am fairly new chicken mama. Looking for help to distinguish this chicken’s sex. It is 15 weeks old and much larger than the other two chickens plus has a somewhat reddish waddle and comb unlike the other two. Can anyone familiar with this breed help me?!? Thanks

    Scared hen not opening eyes or eating

    This morning I found my hen with her eyes closed. Even when I touched her face she kept them shut. She's always been scared of me, so she tries to hide when I'm near, but she clearly doesn't feel like moving much. She's so skinny, empty crop, and won't eat the eggs I've offered. It's the time of...

She hasn’t been able to walk since and she lays on her side all the time. she keeps her left leg tucked up beside her...

    Are these Red Sussex chicks male or female?

    I've got 4 red sussex chicks that I would like to identify. I got these chicks from Tractor Supply during the summer. When I got them, they were in a tin with another chicken breed. There is that paper at the top that says some info about them and it says "pullets" which I didn't believe the...

    20 week chickens pellets or hens?

    I still don’t know their gender! There hasn’t been any crowing, Piper even had vent gleet and expelled what may have been egg material, Piper and Neutral are both vocal and do peck sometimes for food and Pecky is on the bottom for the hierarchy. I included a bunch of photos hoping that would...

    Dominant hen or roo? (Meet Butter)

    This is Butter :) In this picture, Butter is 5 months and one week old. Sold as a "rainbow egger" but from searching the internet, I am fairly certain is a Barred Rock and Buff Orpington combo (hatchery has both breeds). The dark brown chicken in the background is a hen of the same age, also...

    2 year old hen, pupils not the same, strange drifting neck movement

    My friend’s hen is displaying some very weird symptoms. See video: She is about 2-3 year old. Rather sudden onset. Seems to be completely blind now as well. Pupils are different sizes, one eye she keeps closing, and she has a weird drifting in her neck. I’m wondering if it could be marek’s...

    3yo Australorp hen needs bigger flock - Chicago, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana

    We moved a few months ago and brought our flock of five with us. While the other four are thrilled with the new digs, one of our girls – a 3-yo beautiful Australorp - hasn’t adjusted and is clearly unhappy here. Our pecking order is kind of three at the top, one at the bottom, and our unhappy...

    Golden Laced Wyandotte: rooster or hen?

    I have a sneaking suspicion that I know the answer but… rooster or hen? Around three months old. The others have no where near the size of comb this one does

    What breed is this chicken?

    Can anyone tell me what breed of chicken this is? If it helps, we got them from another person who gave us pekin bantams, but they're a bit bigger than our pekins. And as a bonus, the rooster on the last picture (a son of one of these breeds), is he also that breed but the rooster alternative?
