Hi everyone :frow This is my first post and I appreciate any help I can get!! A wee back story: I have a hobby farm with ducks, Guinea fowl, blue azure hens, silkies, lavender Orpington and Marans. I have multiple poultry houses and chickens in different areas of my farm- they aren't...

I’ve been trying for a while to get to the bottom of my hen’s health issue(s). I’m baffled. Symptoms in Buff Orpington hen (rescue, roughly 4-5 yrs old): Watery poop with white streaks or dark green mass (new symptom, past few days) Worms or worm-like matter in some of the watery poop (new...

Im treating my whole flock for coccidiosis due to a chick having it that im brooding indoors, and this includes 2 grown outdoor hens. Im not a huge fan of eggs and only one is laying right now so i feed their eggs back, usually 3 eggs once a week. So heres the big question: Is there enough...

So....I have a chick who will be 6 weeks on Friday and I have no idea what to think! It was supposed to be a blue laced red Wyandotte, obviously not, then we thought red sexlink, nope, then amberlink, to much red. I have no idea!!!! I got her from rural king, supplied by hoover hatchery, and in...

Hello! I got some rare breed assortment from ideal poultry and I'm having difficulty identifying these. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I have a 3-4yrs old, (not 100% how old, I lost track), White silkie hen. She's is from hatchery stock, but a very good quality hen, despite Parents origin. I hatched her from my original birds. She's gone through a type of color change with her feathers. Picture above is how she always...

first of all thank for taking the time to read and answer this. I am extremely sad my cat he was about 10 years old he went missing last wensday and we called his name multiple times because he always comes when you call his name and he always comes back. And today we went out to look for him...

Just for craps and giggles. Any thoughts on what this guy is. Had some comments from a different post. Just gonna leave this here. Not worried about a definitive answer as we are not showing birds. Just find it interesting on people’s opinions and ideas. Not going to say what he was sold as.

My first flock of seven are about 18 months old, and at least three of them are going through a pretty hard molt. I was prepared for the feather loss and all, but I'm also noting some troubling behavioral changes that I'm not certain are a result of molting or something else. So, BYC'ers, please...

this isn’t for me personally, but i have a friend who keeps chickens and isn’t on here, but one of his girls (she’s only two years old) is limping and said that she did a forward roll yesterday. he said that it’s definitely something on her left side? i’m trying to get more information. there’s...

So, I have a batch of 9 assorted chicks; all are approximately 6wks old. I have attached pictures of one that I believe may be an Ancona, but uncertain. Before it feathered, it was yellow with a distinct black pattern down its back/head. It is considerably smaller than the others. At about...

Alright forum, let's see what I've got! I've been doing a little research, but want to know if my guesses are correct. I'll post a name, age in the pic, and 3 good pics. The two pullets from TSC look exactly the same, so I'll only post one set of pics for them. Ruth & Sandra, 16 weeks...

How can you tell if a baby chick is a Seramas? Ordered 7 silkies online but received 6 silkies and 2 mystery chicks. The farm I ordered from also sells Seramas. I know that 6 of my chicks are silkies because they have furry black feet with an extra toe. The chick I suspect is a Seramas is black...

I had a chicken that was very precious to me. I loved this chicken to death. So, I made her family the “royal” family. She was “Queen” until she passed away. She had two sons. The oldest became “King”. The oldest had two kids. One is a boy. The other one is a mystery. I really want it to be a...

Yesterday I noticed one of my bantam hens had 3 what I would call notches missing from some of her tail feathers. At that point no other birds had anything else like it. Then this morning I noticed one of my roosters and another hen had them as well. Upon further inspection the, whole flock is...

I'm at a loss for what to do with my little hen, Delta. Her sinuses swelled up about a month ago. I quarantined her and she's been in solitary ever since. Swelling went down after about a week, but then came back worse than before and won't go away. She is currently on tobramycin drops...

In July 2017, we bought 7 chicks, including 4 gold laced Wyandottes, 2 Barnevelders, and 1 Cream Legbar. 6 grew up to be healthy, productive hens (one Wyandotte was killed by the neighbour's dog when we had just put them in the yard). However, our Cream Legbar, originally active and producing...
