    Has Anybody Ever Seen Eyes Like This?

    I posted this topic in the Diseases section, but I want to reference it here in case somebody in their breeding has come across strange eyes like this and knows what this condition is called. I am not convinced that it is a disease, but rather suspect it is genetic but have no idea if it...

    Has Anybody Ever Seen Eyes Like This?

    I thought about posting this in the genetics/breeding section, but I would figure that perhaps some people with veterinary experience would have their attention called to an abnormality like this more so than breeders who would simply write it off as a fault and cull the bird. I have now 2...

    Question about Hatching in a Dickey's 2x2

    So I have a question for you all who have this incubator. I was misting the eggs twice a day per Dickey during lockdown, including when the chicks were hatching, but then it got pretty crowded in there. Some seemed pinned between the eggs and the lid, so I had to pull the tray out, lift the...

    Dried Corn Stalks

    Today, I noticed one of my chickens relentlessly pecking at a broken node of a dry corn stalk that my daughter had broken off and was terrorizing the chickens with. Curious, I broke another one off, cracked it open and pulled out the long soft pithy center and threw it to them. They fought...

    How To Stop Chicken From Laying in a Bad Place?

    I have one Ameraucana that I've named Nosy Rosy. Like most of my Ameraucanas and Easter Eggers, she is far less content to stay in the chicken yard and likes to occasionally come forage alongside the house. I have never clipped her wings, so she flies over the chain link fence. For the past...

    The Rooster I Couldn't Kill

    I've been hatching our own chicks and butchering the extra roosters for meat. For the last 2 months, a Maran barnyard cross, that I've named Kurt Russell, has been the alpha rooster. I've been putting off butchering him because I like him. He's 23 weeks now. I put him in the shed yesterday...

    Bare Patch in Feathers

    Hello, My other RIR chicks don't have a bare patch like this one on the wings. I am curious if his feathers are just coming in slower or if it is an indicator of something wrong.

    Really Bummed-Lost First Chicken Today- Need Advice About Dog

    I got my first chicks back in March. The brooder was in the house along with the dog. I hatched two more batches of chicks, so they've been in the house pretty much continuously since then. The first time I let the first batch outside, my dog tried lunging at them. I worked with her, and she...

    How Long Do You Wait Past Main Hatch?

    Yesterday was Day 21. 3 had pipped by morning. By the time I went to sleep, 5 had hatched. I moved them to the brooder this morning. Today there are 2 eggs left with no pip. I hear no chirping. What is the latest that stragglers will hatch, unassisted, after the main hatch?

    First Hatch In Progress

    So fascinating to watch. I believe these two that are hatching are Black Copper Maran x Speckled Sussex. Anybody have a photo of what that cross looks like as an adult?

    Which Chicken Breed Eagerly Eats Harvester Ants?

    Hello, I recently got 7 Buff Orpingtons. I got them because I had read they were good at foraging for a heavy breed. I was hoping for some ant control in garden. When I first put them outside at 4-5 weeks, I was encouraged because there was some exploratory pecking. Now, at 7 weeks, they...

    Buff Orpingtons- What's Your Guess?

    Hello, I'm new to chickens. Our 7 Buff Orpingtons are 5 weeks today. Please let me know what you think. I did my best with the photos but they weren't cooperating. I was thinking the first 4 were hens, and the last 3 were roosters because of the pinker combs, but after reading more...

    Question About Coop Placement and Dual Structures

    I am unsure how to proceed and was hoping to get some advice from experienced keepers of different coops. I currently have seven Buff Orpingtons and am hatching another 7 eggs. I'm hoping to end up with between 6-8 hens and rooster by this fall. I have a large shed that is seeing minimal...

    Mistake Made With Brinsea Mini Advance- Eggs Not Turned First 26 Hours

    We are new to chickens and in our excitement to hatch our first eggs, the automatic egg tray was inserted upside down. Consequently, the only motion the eggs experienced was lateral movement from side to side every 45 minutes. So they went the first 26 hours in the incubator without turning...
