i recently bought a new hen who keeps doing something strange. she will at random points in the day go and drink a ton of water at once (more than she normally does at one time) and then spit out the water as well as some food from her crop, and then start eating the food she just spit out? i...
My broody hen has been closing one eye and it seems cloudy almost like cataracts. She is just a year old. Does anyone know what it could possibly be? I thought maybe she got something in it and it was just irritated but it’s now looking cloudy and I want to help her. Any questions or advice...
Hello I just wanted to start a thread for my sweet girls so I can post updated photos and just all about my girls for whoever wants to read!! 💖 These three are my teenagers currently, I had integrated them into my flock of three hens about a month or so ago...everyone is finally seeming to go...
Hi!!
I picked up my hen today and noticed a few cuts on her foot. Does anyone know if this is infected or if there’s something I should do to it? I did a little epson salt soak just in case.
Thank you, I appreciate the help!!
Okay so A lot y'all helped me with my favorite chicken but I have these other 6. I need to try and decide because next week the roosters have to go. Sorry the SLW hate me and scatter when I'm around. I'm pretty sure 1 and 2 are roos and have no idea with the others.
Hi everyone,
This is my first post, however I'm a long time lurker! I've only been keeping chickens for a year or so and could really do with some help identifying the breed and gender of these two!
Hatched mid January from dark dark eggs.
They were in a mixed batch and I've not a clue what...
I have a lovely hen I hatched out who just turned 4 years old and I’ve been just guessing her breed)s) so she hatched out of a blue egg and she lays off white eggs. She’s super friendly i think her father was a silkie Cochin mix but I’ve only seen him I do have photos of him if that would also...
1-ish year old gamefowl hen mix needs a good home. She flew into our yard randomly just before Christmas last year and none of our neighbors have claimed her. We got some more pullets so she could have friends and the integration has not gone well. She thinks she owns our entire yard and that...
Hi all - any guesses at gender on these two. Not entirely sure how old. I think the calico bantam is around 6-7 weeks and I think the blue standard Cochin is maybe 7 weeks. TIA
Any idea on breeds or gender? Thanks
#1 peanut butter is a 9week old bantam
#2 tiny cocoa is a 7week old bantam with feathered legs and feet
#3 snowball is 7weeks old and not a bantam
This is my Rouen duck, I have another one with they exact same markings and size. They make the same noises as well.(just your typical Quack) They are 6 weeks old. Do the markings indicate any specific gender?
Thanks in advance!

hey guys, I wanted some input as to what gender this chicken is. They were supposed to be sexed but I’m beginning to question my Australorp.
She’s the most vocal of all 8 chickens. I have some mystic marans and barred rocks as well. But my Australorp is the loudest and is attempting to crow I...
just today one of my chickens started looking very distressed like it saw one of its friends get taken away by a hawk is this normal? or should I take her to the vet. (All help is appreciated!)
(UPDATE! She was just being broody!) thank you for your help everyone) :D
Can you guys help me sex my 3 month old silkie chicks? I know it’s hard to sex silkies and best options are to wait until they either crow or lay an egg but sometimes a few are really obvious so I wanted to see what you guys think. How many look like they might be roos and how many might be...
