    Making weird Exhaley noise

    Hello! New to chickens, just got yesterday. My serama hen makes this weird exhaley noise sometimes. It’s like a really long whine. it lasts like 5-7 seconds. She also makes shorter airier whines. She doesn’t do it constantly, but every once in a while. Is this normal? Just want to make sure I...

    Hen “holding in” egg until I bring her inside

    Hello! So, some info first — my hen is a 9 month old Cochin bantam. She went broody back in January and hatched eggs on February 14th, gave up on the chicks about 2 weeks ago and started laying again. Last week we had some seriously hot days, and Gil (that’s my hen) has always been a later in...

    Question About Chick

    Hello! I have a chick that I’m not 100% sure what breed she is, I’d love it if someone could tell me! Also, I’m sure curious as to what color she is going to be when she is older, does anyone have a picture of what she would potentially look like (color wise) as an adult?

    Hen with one eye closed, lethargic

    Hi all, I have a 1.5 year old golden laced Wyandotte named Ruthie. Yesterday morning I went in to scoop poop and noticed she hadn’t come down from her roost. Her bum had a bit of droppings on it (not normal for her), and the droppings underneath her were quite watery and slightly yellow. Up...

    Guess the dad: Barred Rock or Black Australorp on Sapphire Gem hens

    I was "sure" that by the time we incubated fresh eggs that the old rooster DNA should be GONE from the hens' oviducts... Well, now that they've hatched, I'm questioning if that's the case. LOL Here are some pics of our hatched chicks. Please help me figure out if the dad was a Black Australorp...

    Oklahoma-- Chicken Hatcheries or Places to Buy Chicks?

    Hi all! I'm looking for recommendations for any local hatcheries in Oklahoma or breeders. We're in Guthrie and only allowed hens so sexed is preferred, but I understand that isn't always possible. I'm not set on chicks, but looking for good layers. We're newbies and do want some family friendly...

    What's the breed of this huge hen?

    I haven't weighed her but she has laid two very large tan eggs with white speckles, and she is much heavier than my other chickens (Bottom egg is hers) And is there any way to tell age?

    Hen making obstruction noise- egg bound?

    Hi everyone, I have a pure bred Silkie hen who is about 9 months old who started laying about a month ago but is not a frequent layer- all my chickens have dropped off laying currently. A week ago I noticed she was making these noises of discomfort and would do it for about 10 seconds and...

    Eggbound???

    I have a close to 3 year old hen who has a history with soft eggs. On Sunday I noticed she had a dirty butt and some poop on her feathers around her vent so I gave her a bath. She was fine until yesterday morning when I found her on the roost bar in the coop in the late morning. I got her out...

    How old do your hens REALLY get?

    How old do your hens really get? I have a mixed group of chickens (roosters, hens, and young ones) free roaming. At night they are locked into the coop and as soon as the sun is about to come up the automatic doors open and they are off. The reason I’m asking: I get VERY attached to every...

    Injured hen

    Hi all. A dog came into the yard and got hold of my chicken. Please see pic. Should I try and treat it, or rather put her out of her misery? She is eating and moving about, but looking miserable.

    Hen fell in pool

    My hen fell in our swimming pool and was in there for almost an hour. I am in Florida, so it’s not very cold but definitely cool enough to cause hypothermia. She was floating when we found her, she seemed exhausted. We put her on a heating pad and put her in a box in a dark quiet room. She is...

    Need help with options for over eager rooster

    We have 2 roosters. One small and one large one. Both the same age. We have 10 hens all about the same age as well. In November my big rooster got ahold of one hen and when trying to mate with her bit her neck too hard and broke skin. When we noticed it had been a couple days and the other...
