    Are my 8 week old chicks ready for my weather? Screenshot of this week's forecast attached

    First post, forgive me if im doing it wrong☺ I'll let the picture show the weather but this week is as cold as it ever gets where I live. My birds are a barnyard mix that I've raised from 1 day to week 8. There are 8 and they are housed with eleven 9 week old Guinea Fowl. They've been together...

    All of my hens have stopped laying eggs?

    I have 10 hens, and they’re about 7 months old. I was getting eggs from just about all of them daily, and for the last few days they’ve all just stopped laying. I’ve gotten about four eggs total in the last four days. It’s definitely getting colder here, could that be the reason, or is it...

    Please Help, Sickly Chickens

    Today I picked up 6 pullets from a poultry supply store. It wasn’t ideal but I couldn’t find any local breeders this time of year. Upon inspecting them at home, I found poultry lice all over them and at least one of them was sneezing every minute or two. I’ve heard all chickens have a few lice...

    Post impacted crop surgery

    Hey guys!!! So I recently had to do impacted crop surgery on one of my beautiful BR. It’s been about five days since the surgery, and she’s doing really really well. She’s been eating all the scrambled eggs I give her(not too much, just small portions with probiotics mixed in), drinking lots of...

    Selling ready to lay pullets

    I have 4 rohode island reds, 4 barred rock and 4 gold laced wyandotte ready to lay pullets at 18 weeks old. And one black cochin rooster also at 18 weeks old. I have to sell these immediately because I found out that I am not allowed to have chickens in my area. They are all good egg laying...

    Yet another question!

    Might be a silly question, but here goes!! I have some Easter eggers(I believe they’re EEs at least.. I’ve been linked sources, and tried everything but I really can’t tell for sure.. they definitely seem like EEs though), and was wondering if this was a normal colored egg or if she might be an...

    Any females in the attached photos?

    Hi, We have raised these chickens since around 2 to 3 weeks and they are now around 13 to 15 weeks old. They all appear to have male characteristics and we hear the odd masculine sounding noises but no crowing. Is there any hope there are some females among them?

    Pullets fighting???

    So I have 6 pullets that are almost 6 months old. 2 Easter eggers, 1 jersey giant, 1 golden laced Wyandotte, 1 barred rock, 1 buff Orpington. Only the barred rock lays, and she just started a couple days ago. They are all definitely females, but recently they have been fighting a lot! This has...

    This is new...

    Is there a way to break this?? I will probably go out there once dark sets and toss them all in but I don’t want this becoming a habit I live in the woods and with winter approaching predators are looking for a extra food! 😬 Side note: the guineas pick and choose when they go in it’s a gf/bf...

    First egg from hen - not very tasty??

    Hi all, My birds free range, although they have been confined to their run the last week to let a food plot germinate (they were eating all the seeds). My Isa brown started laying, but when we tasted her egg(hard boiled), it was not great. My neighbors eggs taste amazing and his birds don’t...

    Thought they were RIR, now I'm not sure

    I thought Big Red and Penny were RIRs but they have white on their backs and face and black in their tail feathers. Sid is darker and a richer, solid red color. Could they still be RIRs or are they something else? Big Red and Penny are around 11 weeks old Sid is around 9 weeks old Got them all...

    Bobcats love my Pullets

    Once my new flock was discovered it was KFC for the bobcat. So I locked up the girls. Did you know chickens can get depressed? They sure were after they couldn’t roam anymore. When picking berries they were right there to get any I dropped. I’ve had chickens before. In the 1970s and again...

    3 Mystery Breeds

    Picked up 16 chicks today, 10 of which were assorted breeds (pullets). I got 3 different breeds, one of which I identified as Dominique (another which was just completely yellow, I suppose they could be literally anything) Here's the last breed: Any thoughts?

    Can pullets stay in run with existing flock?

    I have three 12-week old pullets that I am slowly introducing to my existing flock of 5 chickens (2 are 2-1/2 years old and 3 are 1-1/2 years old). I currently have the pullets in a temporary run next to the main coop/run for the next month until I take the final steps to fully integrate them...

    My ISA Brown pullets are 16 weeks old. When can I expect them to start laying?

    My small flock of 4 ISA Brown pullets just turned 16 weeks old today! Does anyone know when I can expect them to start laying eggs? One of them squats when I pick her up, if that means anything. Thanks for any help!
