    BCM difference??

    I have a question. So earlier this year, I bought some eggs from a breeder that seemed very reputable. Unfortunately, only a few developed and I ended up with 4 chicks... 2 cockerels and 2 pullets. The boys look good so far from what I can tell, but the girls look different. I put one of my...

    Cashew nut in a chicken foot? *graphic images*

    I noticed one of my hens foot was swollen on the side, so I assumed bumblefoot. I did my research on how to treat bumblefoot and couldn't find any information on the side of the foot, but got my supplies ready and made sure I didn't eat right before. 🤣 I soaked her foot in warm Epsom salt water...

    How to introduce other chicks to other hens

    Defective Hen??

    Defective Hen??

    Forewarning: This post lies somewhere between "Could there be something wrong?" and "I'm trying to be patient, but come on!". I've wanted blue eggs for so long and earlier this year, I happened to be at the right place at the right time and a local guy was selling a hatch of John Blehm's true...

    Unusual Polish Rooster Comb???

    Now that you mention buttercup, I completely agree. It's a messy buttercup, but it has formed VERY similarly. I went back and looked at a few younger pictures of him and its wild what changes he's gone through, but that comb just continues to grow. Ike has always been Mr. Personality. hahaha!
