Hi all. Please help!
My beautiful 11 month old Wyandotte hen is lethargic and ‘sick’.
This is the third night of her illness, the first night when she didn’t roost, I thought she was broody just on the ground, second day my partner said she was sleeping standing up all day! (I was at work...
We have had a very busy past couple of weeks so we thought skipping posting a week of updated pictures would be reasonable!
Kyle has been sick for the past week and I just had surgery yesterday, so we've been feeling pretty run down! Last night I sat down in a chair in the backyard and Kyle was...
We appreciate all the kind replies to our posts! We're so happy to be able to share our new backyard hobby within this community! We wanted to share our updated photos of our young flock and ask some questions about our new additions.
Over the weekend, we took a road trip to a farm where we got...
Newer to chickens, I was sold this chicken when it was supposedly 5-months old, and now it's at 7-months old. No crowing and no eggs either. On a previous thread one commentor said cockrel, the other said hen. But now the tail feathers are making me think it's a cockrel. Any thoughts?
Some more pics of our flock incoming! We seem to be a bit confused about our most recent few that we got at Tractor Supply a couple weeks ago if you guys could lend a hand as to your thoughts!
There was a bin that had Easter Egger and Starlight Green Egger pullets in it at Tractor Supply. Kyle...
We are back from our honeymoon and it looks like our birds have already grown so much in just a few days! Also, we added a few new friends to the flock!
We're feeling like Cotton might be a rooster (so hard at a young age, especially for silkies as we're learning) but there appears to be a V...
Some updated photos of our flock that includes their age and breed.
Thoughts on hen or rooster for our flock? We're pretty sure Bonbon is a rooster... We're not allowed roosters in the city we live in 😭
Thanks in advance!
Hello chicken lovers!
I love these birds but I was DUPED by ye-old Tractor Supply shortly after Hurricane Helene and ended up with some breeds I can't manage in my small flock, including a rooster that was supposed to be a pullet (begging others NOT to buy from TSC anymore! They're AWFUL!!!) I...
Okay so A lot y'all helped me with my favorite chicken but I have these other 6. I need to try and decide because next week the roosters have to go. Sorry the SLW hate me and scatter when I'm around. I'm pretty sure 1 and 2 are roos and have no idea with the others.
We have five week old chicks that have been thriving up until this evening. We have a White Laced Wyandotte, a Gold Laced Wyandotte, a Sapphire Gym, and a Spphire Olive Egger. I'm trying to get them used to being outside so I put them in the small run separated from the rooster and the hens that...
Hi all,
I have a 4yo Wyandotte who has developed a limp over the past few months that this week has become pretty bad and stopped her from jumping off her perch in the morning.
She has always been a big bird definitely on the heavier side around 8 or 9 lbs. Though helping her off the perch...
Hi all, my 2 year old Wyandotte was taken to the vets two weeks ago because I suspected an impacted crop. They looked after her for a day, crop feeding some type of emergency nutrition. They also noticed her panting and prescribed antibiotics. I followed the full course, and after a week saw no...
Hello all!
After our incubator mishap, we thoroughly cleaned and calibrated it, and added in some duck eggs. They seem to be doing well. As far as chickens go, our hen decided to go broody so we let her keep a few of her eggs (and added some duck eggs as well). Her two little chicks hatched...
This may be unnecessary, but I feel the need to give some background on the issues I'm having.
Just before Christmas of 2024, we had a lone hen fly into our backyard. I asked all our immediate neighbors if she belonged to them, and no one seemed to have any idea where she came from. We...

I had originally thought this was a pullet. Now she or he is becoming more buff than my other pullets of various breeds and some mannerisms are making me think maybe rooster. Thoughts? About 8 weeks old. Thanks!
