young

Hi I am new to this forum, we recently purchased a home and were given 6 hens and two young roosters. My husband is disabled and the roosters are just to competitive and rambunctious for us to handle. I would really like to find them a good home, We are in the West Palm Beach area. They...

Hi can anyone tell me which breed my 8 week old chicken is ? Has a pale face and pink crown and wattles .. yellow feet , do not know the sex yet and is too young for eggs at the moment.. would appreciate some feedback. Thankyou

We have an adorable 14 week old healthy Silkie bantam roo in need of a good home. We ordered a straight run and got 3 roos, and there are not enough hens for the roosters, so we are looking to find a good home for one of them. He allows himself to be pet and held and hasn't started crowing yet...

Hello! we are brand new to chicken raising... our first girl: a leghorn started laying a few weeks ago, right around 16 weeks old. at first she’d lay every couple of days then she went about four or five days of laying, now it’s been more than a week since she’s layed. (It has been about 90...

So we hatched six ducklings and they are about 4 and a half weeks old now, any ideas on the genders. One of them which we call Sargent has recentaly developed more of a brown beak then the others and definitely is the leader of them all. Heres some pics of Sargent. Sorry there not the best they...

I have a amazing black drake muscovy who is 9-10 weeks old. He is fairly independent and very spunky, he allows me and some other people in my family to pet him on the back. But I have 2 drakes out the 3 ducklings I originally got. And we are keeping the other because he is even friendlier...

What would happen if you breed a 4 month old mixed female duck. The mix is Rouen/Cayuga if that helps. No eggs yet. I just wanted to know if it would harm the female. I am not just tossing them in a pen and breeding them or anything, I just wanted to know if it would seriously harm the females...

Hi everyone, im new to chickens and this is my first flock. I have 11 chickens and a rooster all about 13 weeks old now and free range. About a month and a half ago, I started noticing one or two chickens with a reddish and puffy eye. About two/three weeks later, about half the flock had at...

So I just got this chick about 12 weeks ago, and she and a bunch of others were marked as "Starlight Green Eggers" which I had never heard of, but they laying info seemed plentiful so we got one. Now I am wondering if technically she is an Easter Egger. She looks just like one to me. I don't...

For a few days now my 7 chickens have remained inside the coop and not coming down to the run most of the day. I don't understand why. None of them seem sick. I can coax them out for a few minutes to eat some snacks, but they will go right back in. A robin did try and build a nest in the yard...

Hello everyone! I have a 9 month old Partridge Cochin hen who recently has been acting strange. She’s our best egg layer; we’ve only had a few less eggs than the number of days since she has started laying. She’s been laying for about 3 months or so, and all of her eggs are super normal! We...

Hi I have a chicken from an auction I believe is around 2 months old. She or he (idk yet) is getting over cocciadstat and on day 3 of corid water. She is getting better with that and is eating and drinking but I think she has gapeworm. What can I do it's late at night and the breathing has...

I am just wanting to make sure this is not a problem. My 1 week old guinea keets have their bottom of their wings sticking out a bit. Feathers just started growing there. Diet is exactly what it should be. Is this normal growth or do I need to change something? Wrap their wings like ducks...

Hello all, I got my first set of chicks in end of May. One of the chicks pretty early on seemed more tired then the rest. Something was off. Then eventually it sounded wheezy and almost like coughing and then died at about 5 weeks. All of the other chicks were fine. An emergency vet friend...

This is my youngest roo Johnny.. does he look like a mix of sorts, Australorp? Jersey Giant? We picked him from a bunch of mixed chicks. He is the same size as my 5 month hens, he’s around 16-17 weeks. Big boy!

2 started pullets (6mo-1yr), orpington for sure and perhaps another orpington, Sussex, Bielefeld, jersey giant or any other gentle friendly L or XL egg layer. I'm in the Stacy, MN area and willing to travel 50ish miles or so for the right birds.

I have at least 4 silkie roosters who have begun fighting so I need to rehome two for now. They were hatched through 4H incubation project in June and out of the hatching of 8, I am starting to see which ones are roosters and which are not. I am in the process of trying to introduce them into my...

I purchased in April as chicks, ended up with 2 roosters, I cannot handle them and must rehome them. They are approximately 4 1/2 months old. The black and white (Brock) is easy on the girls but the brown (Bucket) is a little harder on them! I only have a small run and cannot free range due to...
