    Well…what is he/she?

    Hen or Roo? I feel like this is an obvious rooster but I’d like others opinions. It’s my silkie hens first and only surprise hatched baby, named Sola, meaning only in Latin! I can’t keep if it’s a roo, so hoping someone with better knowledge than me can tell me it’s a hen 😂

    What Breed are my Hens?

    I got four grey chicks from a feed store about two and a half years ago. They are supposed to be pure bred chickens and for the life of me I can not remember what breed they are. They are all this color. Two have lightly feathered feet/legs and the other two do not. But all same coloring all lay...

    6 weeks later

    6 weeks ago I took her out of the run. Since then she’s been getting a constant diet of meal worms, oats, the occasional egg and other scraps. She’s definitely been spoiled. I’m here to ask your thoughts though on when she can move from a dog crate in my basement back to her nice big run/coop...

    My hen has round worms and coccidiosis. How long until she makes a full recovery and is it safe to assume she will make it?

    January 23rd my leader girl started laying in the middle of the run with her feathers ruffled up and her head hiding away. I figured it was due to the cold until the next day where I could tell she was way too sleepy and isolated and something was wrong. A trip to a our vet and he informed us...

    Mucus in beak??

    I have a hen who has mucus in her beak. She has no sores or patches in her mouth, no obstructions, no mites on her body. She’s quite lethargic. She drinks water but seems like she’s struggling to swallow, attempts to eat but almost looks like she’s choking on it, she appears to be losing weight...

    RIP: AngryGirl, light Brahma, odd behavior

    I did not place this in the emergency/injuries because it's not urgent. Noticed AngryGirl was off Saturday, but we have five or six going through a molt. Checked on her yesterday, she just seemed off. Wasn't moving much, extremely pale and her wattles/comb were nearly the color of her eyes...

    What breed are my lovely ladies?

    I think they're black sex-links, but was told they're barnyard mixes. The one that's mostly black does have some orange colour under her head. The chick pics are just to show what the one looked like as a chick, the other two in the first three photos I got when they were already all feathered...
