hen

Hi all, I just had a massive scare. My 1.5 year old Barred Plymouth Rock hen, Tilly, just started choking. I was bringing them in from their pen and I left her in the coop to go bring in two of her sisters. I come back and she has her beak wide open, trying to gasp. I pick her up and stick my...

This is my white leghorn. I got around the end of may or early June. I know that leghorn hens are supposed to get a larger comb but I get paranoid. The hen in the last picture just started laying eggs a few days ago so I’m not too worried about her not laying yet because half of my hens don’t...

Hey everyone, so i decided to hatch out new chicks to add to my flock. I have 2 polish hens and i wanted a silkie. I got 10 eggs and hatched them out about a year ago. Only two of them hatched though. And sadly one passed at 5 months. Ive thought that they are a bit different since they hatched...

I've had a 22 week old Sapphire Gem laying for a little over a week now. Out of 10 days, I've gotten 8 eggs. I know the breed is supposed to be an eggcellent layer, so I wasn't thinking too much about it, but I'm getting two different shades of brown. Nothing crazy, but enough to be able to tell...

I have 2 Silkie Roosters and 2 Showgirl Hens free to good home. We are in northern New Jersey In Township of Washington, NJ bergen county. Hatched these eggs for my childrens school and they have been our pets for the last 2 years. My town ordinance doesnt't allow chickens or roosters. I...

Hello, I have two silver penciled wyandotte chickens that I am struggling to sex and was wondering if someone might be able to help? They are 8 weeks old, developed a few brown feathers that my others don’t have and more pronounced combs. They don’t have spurs developing on legs like some of my...

21 weeks old. I do not know the breed Mom is Andalusian, dad is a black mix. If pullet when will she lay?

Hi, 1st ever post ^_^ does anyone have any abnormally large duck hens? I'll have to get some pics for you guys, but I have a muscovy duck that's the same size as my drake - for a while she's was larger than him! I was wondering how common this is? Or is it possible she's intersexed? She and her...

I noticed my hen had a swollen eye 2 or 3 days ago. But after putting them up tonight, I noticed it has closed all the way. The other eye looks completely normal but the other is swollen shut. Today she seems to be almost sneezing and making weird noises with her nose. I didn’t know if she...

While looking out front door of house I could see a game pullet (~8 months post-hatch) walking slowly with tail erect and head held high. The back part of her hackles stood out a bit as well. She was making vocalizations I could not hear. It was evident she was looking at some sort of bird...

I am unable to tell the gender of my Brahma chicken. We got it in late may to early June

Long story short, last week a raccoon killed my flock of bantams. Two survivors were injured. The one I'm calling Glory for right now had her head chomped on. Her whole face was a grotesque, mauled mass of blood and meat. Her beak was off center and her tongue hung out. I've done everything I...

What breed is she? So sweet and lays little white eggs!

My chickens are just getting to the point where I can see if they are a rooster or hen. With my australorp, I can’t seem to find out what it is. I got it as a chick in the beginning of June/ end of May.

I'm not sure which is happening to three of my chickens, so I want to solve both problems at once. Here's the situation behind this: Due to a recurring problem of high humidity inside the isolated, non-heated coop (hydrometer shows 72-78% - the walls and windows are covered in frost), I...
