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...
Hello! We are new to having backyard chickens and very unsure about this particular chicken! It is a Sapphire Gem- around 10-11 weeks old! Unsure if it is a hen or roo? I tried to add multiple photos from multiple angles! Thank you so much in advance!
Our 6 month old hen has been acting strange the past few months; walking into fences, walking into other chickens and avoiding the flock completely. We had a feeling she was blind or something wrong neurologically. On closer inspection we’ve found her eyes are indeed cloudy which is...
One of my chickens 3 weeks ago got a fibula fracture and I’m wondering if it’s ok if she’s walking and Jumping around now!, all help is appreciated greatly!:)

Also, I have bantam chickens pekin, serama(I assume as that’s what seller said, when I...
This hen started acting strange about a week ago not very active and just sitting in the nesting box. She has pretty bad diarrhea. Not eating or drinking that I’ve noticed. I gave her nutri-drench orally several times but it hasn’t seemed to help. Any advice is appreciated.
I have quarantined...
Hello all, thank you for your assistance with this! I just got some pullets, 4 months old, a few weeks ago and one of the rhode island red's is unable to walk, she has her legs splayed out and although she can move them, she's unable to be mobile. She is also gaping and holding her beak open...
Hey, hey! Remember me? We started to build a chicken coop and it never got finished….. until now. 3 years, a baby, many weddings and funerals, and a whole lot of chaos later, my coop is finally done! The only thing left is filling in the dirt around the edge of the run and extending the skirting...
So, i have had an issue recently, bc, one of my hens just disappeared i think, like, one day she just wasn't there anymore, and she never came back. But now it's been about a mout and a half, and i saw a hawk flying above my garden pretty close. (Wasnt exactly a hawk but idk the word in english...
So we know the gender of all of our chickens other than these two….
Agatha (White) was believed to be female but her comb and overall attitude makes me wonder
Lloyd (grey) was believed to be a male because he grew his comb out at the same time as Rip (I’ll add him at the bottom. Rip and...
