    How to give my hens a break from laying?

    I got 3 isa brown from a crappy feed store. They probably have kidney problems. One looks super rough. At the store it was mostly in a dark but lit area kind of like the lightening in your garage. Pretty dim. Girls didn’t really lay when I got them. Now they are healthier and laying everyday...

    Chicken doesn’t like me

    Hey BYC, I’ve got a couple questions. I just had to swap my cockerel out for a pullet. She’s being quarantined. The problem is she, along with the rest of the chickens at the farm I got her at, don’t particularly like human touch. She looks to be about 9-10 weeks old, an ISA brown & leghorn mix...

    Cross Breeds

    I have 2 black copper Maran roosters in my flock and several different hen types. I recently had a successful hatch of 2 eggs from my coop one is very much a Maran the other I believe is a x with ISA brown. Opinions? Thoughts? How do I determine sex? Thanks!

    Are these Isa Browns or Rhode Island Reds?

    I got these from Tractor Supply. They were supposed to be Is a Browns. I'm not familiar with the breed. However, they look just like the Rhode Island Reds I used to have. Not sure if they are Is a or Reds.

    ISA Brown Hen Acting Sick, Quiet, and Losing Weight

    My 3-year-old ISA brown hen, Sandy, has not been acting herself in the past months. She is quiet, even more so than normally and even while around the other chickens. She is slow to move with the flock as they rotate around the yard, freeranging. She ruffles her feathers, sits in one spot, and...

    How soon do you notice roo behavior?

    Last week, I got 5 new baby chicks (Amberlink, ISA Brown, Maran, Easter Eggger, and Jersey Giant). The Jersey Giant was a straight run so I took the chance. A few years ago I got all pullets and still ended up with a roo. My question is how early do you notice roo behavior? I wouldn’t say his...

    Bully chicken

    Hi, I’ve just been given a chicken. It was bullying some silkies at its old home (it’s a solo Isa Brown hen). I’ve had it in isolation away from my other chickens and there hasn’t been a problem with them seeing each other through the fence. I tried to see how the hen would be with my flock so...

    When to go out to the coop?

    My three ISA Brown chicks are a few weeks younger than my other chicks they’re in the brooder with. I think they’re about 4 weeks old. Our coop will be finished next week. They’re mostly feathered besides their heads are getting feathers still. Do you think they’ll be good to go out to the coop...

    Egg Bound w/ Few or No Symptoms? Help!

    My 3 y/o ISA Brown hen, Buffy, has very much slowed down her laying (with some intermittent lengthy breaks). However, this past week, I noticed she'd go to the box like she had to lay without producing an egg. This made me nervous about internal laying, which I'd just lost my beloved BR to after...

    Ill chicken, brown + clear liquid??

    My 5 year old ISA brown has been sickly for a while, and has been being picked on by our other hens for it. She's in a bad state, and we have isolated her from them, but she has started coughing up (?), a watery brown liquid. I have almost accepted at this point this it for her and we might need...
