    Sudden change in behavior

    I have an isa brown who lays nearly every day, her eggs are quite often a little weird though. Some are so thin that they crack almost as soon as she lays them, some are completely normal, some have a rough bumpy texture, sometimes the color isn’t evenly distributed on the egg (like the top 1/4...

    11 week old Delawares, pullets right?

    I’ve posted my sweet Delawares a couple times at different ages. They’re roughly 11 weeks old now and I REALLY want to finally give them names 😁 What does everyone think?

    12 week hand raised silkie roos central Kentucky

    Hi! I have at least 4, possibly six young silkie cockerels to rehome. They’ve been hand raised and we spend a LOT of time holding them and cuddling with them. I really need to find them homes quickly, they’re starting to get very annoyed with each other! One of them has a curved beak, but he is...

    Delawares and mystery buffs

    Hi! I have four babies that I want to play hen or roo with :) Two Delawares, at LEAST 9 weeks old but I don’t know for sure how much older than that they might be. I think they were at least a week old when I got those two. The two buffs are 8 weeks old. So idk what the buffs are, they were...

    Is this overkill??

    Hi! I’m slowly putting together plans for a large coop/run combo. It will look something like the pics I’m attaching, with the coop part being enclosed in the run but lifted high enough off the ground to still have the area underneath accessible to the chickens. The overall footprint of the...

    Playing hen or roo with Delawares

    Got two Delawares a few weeks ago, just curious if anyone has thoughts on this one’s gender. I don’t know exactly how old they are, I’m guessing they were about a week old when I brought them home which would put them around four weeks now. I only put pictures of one because the other won’t pose...

    I didn’t know I could love a baby chick this much!

    I got some chicks a couple weeks ago, two Delawares and two Buff Orpingtons. Almost the same day I brought them home I noticed one of the little Delawares seemed extremely interested every time I would walk by! It eventually started running to the side of the brooder to get as close as it could...

    Weird wing growth on Orpington chick?

    I got a couple Buff Orpington chicks from the feed store a week or so ago. They were supposed to be English Orpingtons but after the employee dumped them in the box he let me know that they were running low on the English and dumped American in there too 🙄. Anyway, I have a couple of questions...

    Hen or roo?

    Got this chicken and was told it was a pullet, but now at 14-16 weeks or so it’s mounting one of my silkies all the time. It’s at the bottom of the pecking order so I don’t think it’s just a dominance thing. Looks like a golden laced Wyandotte to me but was told it’s an Easter egger. I just...

    Fertilized egg?

    Im not sure if this is the right place for this. I have an Easter egger that I was told was a pullet, but several weeks later “it” keeps mounting my black silkie hen (only her though!) I’m pretty sure I see saddle feathers coming in but not 100% sure. Anyway, today my black silkie laid an egg...

    Forgot to date silkie hatching eggs

    I was dumb and thought that I would remember what day I started incubating my silkie eggs. I did not remember and now I’m not sure how much longer they have. Could anyone take a guess based on pics? They are quite active. I saw feet and legs kicking and could see their individual toes inside the...

    I feel awful for culling a rooster I recently got

    Today I made the decision to cull a rooster I got about a month before. I feel so bad because if I hadn’t gotten him he would still be at his old home managing hens. The woman I got him from did not want him back (way too many roos already). There were a few reasons I decided we couldn’t keep...
