    Rooster with three hens?

    Hi! I have three three year old Rhode Island Red hens and I recently fell in love with a rooster that was free to take home at a fair. I’m wondering if it would be bad for my hens to bring home the rooster since I only have three and he is much younger than them. He’s a very gentle and big Isa...

    Isa brown suddenly dead, green spot on foot

    Okay, so I noticed that she was looking slightly off, tail down. I inspected her but couldn't find anything wrong. Two days later she is dead, on her back. I looked at her and saw a finger nail sized green lump, then later when I was cleaning the nesting boxes and I found a poo with yellow...

    Isa brown egg progression

    Hi all, I have a 2.5 year old isa brown that will still lay 5 days a week. About once a week she will lay what I call a rubber egg. It will usually crack inside and she will have the white first followed by the collapsed egg shell. Is this a normal progression for her breed of bird? Also, the...

    Chickens and dog have Giardia and have to share a yard ... what would you do?

    I don't know which got it first, but the vet has confirmed and issued treatment for Giardia in the dog, and based on stool observations at least one of my 3 hens has it too (who are all currently being treated with metronidazole and a probiotic supplement). All 4 animals are forced to share...

    Cinnamon Queen or Isa Brown or what?

    I was sold an Isa Brown and a Cinnamon Queen but as they’ve grown into pullets I’m confused! I thought the red white one was the Isa Brown but it looks like a Cinnamon pullet. The red with black doesn’t look like any Cinnamon Queen or Isa Btown pullet I’ve seen. Any help? BTW: the others are 2...

    Broody ISA brown! The impossible happened and now i need tips.

    The impossible happened, my 1.5 yr old ISA Brown has gone broody, all bald belly, pissed off and has consistently stayed in her nest for 3 days, defending it vigorously from the others. Has anyone had luck with letting your ISAs brood? How are they as mothers once the chicks are here? Shes not...

    Sick hen

    Hi everyone. I’m hoping to find some help with my dear Ruby. She is approximately 6 years old, she doesn’t lay anymore, and hasn’t since we “adopted her” last year so I know it’s nothing laying related. I’ve just loved her since the day I met her and wanted to give her a home. She is an Isa...

    My ISA Brown chicks are still very skittish of me

    I have an established flock of about 10 chickens but recently I purchased 2 ISA browns and 2 assorted bantams from TSC. I've had them about 1 month now and I read somewhere that ISA browns are usually very friendly. However, the 2 that I have don't seem to like me or anyone else. I have kids so...

    ISA pullets?

    I purchased ISA pullets from Hoover’s hatchery. They all came red in color. My wife and I are brand new to chickens and a backyard flock. These ISA chicks are growing faster than the other three week old chicks we have. Can someone confirm these are pullets? And ISA? Thank you

    Hiya all!

    I'm Mare and my husband and I started raising chickens and ducks last year. We started small with 3 hens and a roo and then added some meat birds as well as more Pekins to go with our duckers (Pekins and Rouen) last summer. We got hooked and have added around 2 dozen new chickens to our flock...

    Is my Heather a cockerel?

    I got 3 baby chicks (sexed Isa brown from a big pet shop) around 5 weeks ago. Heather is the smallest without tail feathers and she developed it slower than the other two. Ever since then I started worried about whether she’s actually a he :( Right now I guess they are probably 6 or 7 weeks old...

    ISA Brown x Ameraucana Cross Green Egg

    Over the summer some of our ISA Brown hens went broody unexpectedly. We have a pure-bred Ameraucana rooster with them so we decided to let the ladies try to hatch some chicks. We had 2 eggs successfully hatch, but sadly only one chick made it to adulthood. She just laid her first egg and it came...

These chicks are now 4-5 weeks old and are a cross between Light Sussex and a ISA Brown and Black hen. I do not know specifically who the mother is of which chick as they all look pretty...

I saw my Betty lay her FIRST egg 2 days ago and it was a double yolk! I knew to watch her because she was being VERY vocal. She...
