I bought 12 chicks from tractor supply (ISA browns) the one chick has a bare bottom and is smaller than the rest. But she eats and drinks really well. Why is her bottom bare.
Can anyone explain why these hens have such large combs? I got them from some people who literally had hundreds of them. From what I read, the ISA Brown's are sex link chicks so they should all be females and none of them have sickle feathers or pointed feathers. They are all supposedly over...
Hi y'all! I have four 6-week old ISA browns, all of whom were raised together since day 1. One of them that we call Chippy has always been a bit smaller than the others. While her sisters are all proportionate in size, she seems skinnier but taller than the others. I have noticed that the tips...
My dad and I built this chicken run with 10 t-posts and 2 in. by 4 in. wire mesh. In the future, we will build a mobile chicken coop to dock at present wooden door opening.
I just wanted to write some info here about my chickens to make everyone's day, so here are my four little hen's biographies:

Hey all,
So I got this chick and a second out of the ISA Brown bin at TSC, they are 6 weeks now. They were both red as chicks. The other chick turned the usual brown, while this one is cream with brown. I know that a White ISA adult typically means Roo, but im really not sure about this one. It...
Yep! My four little ISA Browns are finally 4 weeks old! They grow so fast!! In the first and third picture I am holding one of them, and they have names I just can't remember which one I was holding lol!
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:

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...
