isa brown

I'm going to build a chicken coop and run for 4 ISA Brown hens. I have a medium sized backyard surrounded by other houses and trees, and I live in a neighborhood. Although I have somewhat of an idea on how to design it, any advice on design or placement of the coop and run would be appreciated!

They are all doing excellent, and their feathers are all growing in very fast. Also, these are some of the sweetest chicks I have ever had! I have posted some pictures of them below as well:

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? We had chickens when we were kids. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? 10 brand new little ones. (3) What breeds do you have? ISA Brown, a crossbreed of chicken, with sex-linked coloration. It...

My about-1-week-old ISA Brown chicks are doing great! They have grown in their first wing feathers, and are about double their original size.

I got five ISA Brown chicks yesterday. One of them did not survive overnight, but the others are doing well. The remaining chick's names are Bertha, Greta, Anna and Willamina! Bertha is the biggest one, Greta is the curious one, Anna is the hungriest one, and Willamina is the smallest one. They...

Here I go again. My third chicken with lash egg. The last two lived for a good 6 months but I know she won’t have as long as she should anymore. Thats the last time I get ISA Browns. 😞 The last time I used an antibiotic. I think it was Baytril? I am having trouble finding an appropriate...

Hello all, I don’t post much but I am at such a loss right now. My dear Chiquita is a 2.5 year old ISA Brown hen who has been such a sweetheart her whole life. Two nights ago she suddenly lost the ability to move her left leg and has not been able to walk properly. I had her checked out by a vet...

Hey all, my Bantam Cochin just hatched her first clutch? is that the word. Anyway she has 5 little cuties. One egg was hers and Donald Trump's (my granddaughter named our Red Bantam Silky that because he looks like him, lol.) Anyway one is hers and the Bantam Rooster. It is the black one in...

I have three chickens - two Isa browns and one leghorn. I sleep right next to my chickens so when I'm still sleeping peacefully the chickens have woken up and are squawking constantly, and I live in a close suburban street. They will not stop squawking unless they are given veggies that they...

My ISA Brown started laying at the end of August. At first, she laid daily supermodel eggs. We were so proud because she had only one month earlier been diagnosed with a heart murmur (after almost dying from heat stroke). She made a full recovery from the heat stroke incident and we'd been...

My Isa is my baby. It was a shock to go outside today and find her unable to stand, last night at about 11pm she was perfectly fine. I found no injuries, but she sometimes squeezes her eyes shut like she's in pain. She keeps her legs tucked underneath of her. If I make her stand normally, she...

Hey all! Got a small group of baby pullets, both orpingtons and isa browns. The black orps are easy to ID, but the lighter colored ones I'm lost on! I've looked up pictures of both, but that didn't help much. :P Anyone have any tips on telling orps from browns? I'd appreciate it, because I...

Just wanted to share this huge egg my chicken layed the other day... Thought it was super cool....

Hello everyone! One of my old isa brown hens has a respiratory issue (some discharge out of nostrils) and I have ordered vetrx which is arriving tomorrow. Today I noticed this (white spots on comb) I asked some other people and they said it’s Favus, what do you guys think? What do I buy to treat...

Hello. Yesterday I posted a thread about our ISA brown, "Buffy," who was suddenly showing signs of heat stress at the peak of the afternoon (here is the OG post: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/please-help-possible-heat-stroke-or-sick.1327905/). Well, we took her to the vet today and...
