    Pullet moving slowmo

    Hi y’all - sorry for the super lame title, but I am at a loss.. One day my 19wk old pullet was running about like a teenager, the next she was a little bit slower. I kept an eye on her, she drank water, attempted to peck at some food and scratch on the ground. The next day she was visibly, much...

    8 wk old Easter eggers

    Wow okay, so these chicks are hurting my brain. And I’m hoping by posting these chicks it’ll further help others who are also scouring the internet for photos that look like their chicks. I had two classic EE’s, chipmunk colouring, peacombs - easy peasy! Flash forward to Jan 31 and I see these...

    Chicks in the rain

    I’ve had chickens 8 years now - but I’m stumped. I’ve never had baby chicks this early in the year with all the crappy weather and it’s a big fat drag. I haven’t been able to bring the girls out for longer than an hour like 2x’s a week because of the rain, wind and just plain cold weather. Well...

    Roo picking on older roo

    Hello! Looking for some advice here… I have one rooster who’s 7, he’s been the main rooster with no problems when cockerels have hatched and grown up until they got rehomed. Then enters this little bantam polish, who are supposed to be rather chill birds. Once I knew he was a boy, I didn’t...

    Dog attack - antibiotics?

    Hi y’all, on I came home on Sunday to a dog in the yard and feathers everywhere. I was lucky when an hour and a half later my sweet girl just appeared from where she was hiding, with some bite wounds. I rinsed the wound and sprayed generously with vetericyn. She was had good energy and was...

    7 wk silver laced Wyandotte

    Pullet or cockerel 🤪 Because it’s everyone’s favourite game and I like to torture myself by looking at every photo possible online 😁 I got them from Wilco, so who knows the quality but they sure are a little sweetie pie. The comb is non existent, and still black/flesh coloured. Only thing...

    3 wk old Polish sexing

    Everyone’s favourite game 😍 I know I can wait, but I also like to torture myself and analyze combs everyday. But these fools don’t have comb that I can see LOL What do y’all think on these two bantam wc blue babies, they are 3 weeks old (4 wks on 7/13) these two are my first polish chicks, and...

They are both in the same coop, on opposite nesting boxes (about 5-6 feet between them, the roosting bars are between them) Fast forward 3 weeks, my Goldie girl has 4 babies - and exactly one week later...

    Mama with mites

    Hi, not exactly sure which header this should be under… anyway, I have a fluffy Cochin who’s gone broody. I want to let her hatch some eggs because I’ve lost a few birds this year. I need some advice, because she doesn’t dust like the other girls and noticed she has a considerable amount of...

    Rooster off balance

    Hi y’all! It has been really yucky in my chicken run with all these storms. All our soil is Adobe mud, and it takes forever to soak up. We’re in Northern California so this is the first year I’ve really experienced this with the run. Poor flock are in poopy mud puddles ankle deep most of the...

    14 week old died / other is sick

    So I’m super bummed, out of the blue one of my buttercups passed away. The only sign she had was that morning, she was still in the coop when I let everyone out. I peeked in to see what was up, she seemed fine and hopped out running to meet the other hens. I later found her behind the coop, no...

    Sicilian Buttercup cutie pie

    Oh my goodness, back in April I got two Sicilian buttercup pullets, and can I just say, they may be my new favourite breed. They are so sweet, totally fine with being picked up and cuddled. When we had outside play, or now when I visit them in the coop, they ALWAYS fly up to be on my shoulder or...

    Sicilian Buttercup pullets.....?

    There is hardly any information on these chickens! I’ve got a pair from tractor supply, saying they are pullets claiming they are auto sexing. But I’ve searched the web so much, and can find but a few articles on this breed of chicken. They are 5 weeks old tomorrow, and look the dang same (well...

    Golden Sex Link pullet?

    Walking through TSC and some baby chicks just fell into my bag.... oops. Well, I saw PULLETS and grabbed four. Two Sicilian Buttercups, one Speckled Sussex and one Golden Sex Link... the one I’m questioning is the Golden Sex Link. She’s definitely golden down, but 2 weeks old now, just...

    Crop issue or Tumor

    (I may be posting prematurely, since I’ve only felt in the morning. I’ll recheck her this evening if I feel her crop as well, as this mass or if this mass is her crop) While letting my flock out yesterday morning (Wednesday), I scooped up my BCM hen for a quick hug and noticed her crop was huge...

    13yr hen possible sprain

    I saw her on the ladder to their roost (I’d say she was 1-1 1/2ft high) just jump off and land with her toes bent. Of course she’s been limping since, about 5-7 days. I thought she’d be just sore, so I gave her some time. Well, she’s still limping and while standing she holds it up. She lets...

    What’s the best coop to get? Mites won’t go away

    About two years ago I got a build it yourself coop from tractor supply, unfortunately it’s pretty cheap (but was quite $$$) and now in the past 2 months I’ve done two complete deep cleans in the coop, spraying every inch, nook and cranny with permethrin/water spray AND I STILL HAVE MITES! The...

    Possibly sour crop? Need help

    I noticed on Wednesday 12/23 my Cochin girl looked a little extra poofed, specifically her head/neck area (I’ll attach all photos I have) and noticed her butt was pretty poopy. It’s a cold Northern California day, so I took her in for a warm bath and blow dry. She had a distinct smell, it wasn’t...
