Finally got our first chickens.

Very pretty! Love their deep coloring!

I'll try to get a pic of them both, then you can tell me the really bad news...that I have 2 roos!!

Hope not!

Today should be hatch day for the chicks in our incubator.  I'm trying not to get to excited...  We did hear a few chirps on Saturday when we would tap the incubator.  I think I heard a tapping this morning but it might just be me being excited.  I candled yesterday but didn't notice any internal pips.  I was hoping that since we put 3 bantam eggs in that they would hatch early, but they didn't...

I wish I had something to keep me busy today!!! 

That is exciting. Keep chirping at them and get them to hatch!

I have a hen who is walking around with her wing droopy and tail feathers dropped. She has dried poop on some of her feathers around her vent and clear fluid coming out of her vent. I dont feel no lumps in her tummy and her poop looks normal. She is eating and drinking but not like she normally does. Do yall have any ideal what could be going on I am stumped

Yuck, I've got 4 girls!! When I went with my 2nd one to find the perfect prom dress it just about was the undoing of our relationship. I told her then, when we finally found it, to just tell me when to show up.

For the wedding!

I really don't know the symptoms but could she have a broken egg stuck in there?

Hello folks! Just introducing myself....I'm a brand new chicken mom here in Central Texas smack dab in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the "Texas triangle" (formed by Dallas, Houston, San Antonio). Got my girls (after five years of dreaming!) a few weeks ago and they moved into their new coop last night. Can't wait to learn from all you Texas chicken folks. I am concerned about the summer heat so maybe you can advise and the temps go up. Anyway, Hi!

A few months back I read a thread on the injury/emergency forum and it sounds like what you discribe. Hope not that would be unpleasant.

Idk how do I check.
