My hen has started making this weird whole body motion similar to when a dog is about to throw after eating grass. She does not throw up, just the motion. She seems fine and normal but ive never noticed her doing this before and she does it several times a day. Its just weird so i was wondering...

Please help if you can. My hen was fine yesterday, but today she has a bright red comb, closing eyes alot, not much movement or walking around at all. I didnt notice her eating. But she did drink water. She hasnt laid an egg yesterday or today. And very easy to pick up, normally she never lets...

So...awhile back i posted a question asking if anyone had any photos of white legbar crosses. I didnt get any pictures, but i did get a few interests in what they might turn out if i ever hatched any. Heres an update on hatching some eggs from my frost white legbars & my white silkie rooster.(...

I have a little bantam hen that had a late hatch this year. Shes a good little moma but ive noticed she keeps pecking the feathers out of the lower backs of some of her babies. The chicks are 5 weeks old now. She will pull out feathers and even the new pin feathers. Even causing blood. Ive kept...

A few of my hens have very pink feet, is this normal? Most are molting pretty badly and it is freezing cold here. Is this just from the cold temperatures or should I be concerned. ?

Does anyone have a photo of a chick produced from a Frost white legbar hen and a different breed rooster? My roosters are lavender Orpington, Swedish flower, white silkie , & multi colored Easter egger. I am considering hatching some eggs.

I’m hoping someone can give advice. My two week old chick has been very healthy and happy. Eating and drinking normally. No pasty butt, no strange poop. Seems normal., but just started this strange nerve type shake. Not the head, but the body. Almost like weak shaky legs? It has been three days...

Please tell me what I should do. My baby chick has been weak the past two days. She just wobbles around because her legs are so weak. And sits alone under the brooder without going to the food or water. I have been feeding her water and yolk with a dropper for two days, a tiny bit about every...

My first time getting bantams. I could not resist these little ones at tractor supply. I just brought them home today. Anyone know what breeds or gender they may be. I know the tallest one is a silkie, but not sure what color it’ll be. There’s a teeny tiny one with feathers on its legs, 3...

About a week ago I noticed my ameracauna hen having some fuzzy back feathers and the tops of her wings add lost some feathers looking a bit pink. I thought possibly mites so I treated her with diatomaceous earth, but with each day it gets worse and now today I noticed the other hens all pecking...

I am so excited! My very first fairy egg! I was beginning to think it was just a joke and they didn’t really exist,... but I’ve now seen it with my own eyes! Haha! So cute.

Hi all! I was hoping someone might have some bright ideas on how to modify my expensive rent a coop feeder to accommodate my roosters . They won’t stick their heads inside because of the large size of their combs and wattles. And the design requires the chicken to put their head far inside to...

Yesterday and today I got an egg that was bumpy and odd shaped from two of my hens. All of my hens are fairly young, just started laying the last month or so. All of their eggs have been normal, small, but that’s normal to start. But two of them laid these weird bumpy eggs with ridges. They all...

I have two roosters, one is young, but now getting old enough to start mating. He seems to have a little click with two young hens that he grew up with. My other rooster is top dog now , with five laying hens and there’s five other hens that will start laying any day now. I was wondering .... Do...

I have a broody Black Copper Marans named Penelope. I wanted to break her of it so I decided to remove the fake eggs from under her (Which she had rolled from the surrounding nests and gathered),and I would check periodically throughout the day to remove anymore . She would steal the eggs from...

Can I mix my 3 week old chicks with my 8 week old chicks? They’ve been in the same area with a fence in between for almost a week. Today I noticed they had squeezed through an area and are all walking together on one side. They don’t seem to have any quarrels or even interest in each other...

Has anyone got a picture of a cross between a lavender Orpington rooster and a Swedish flower hen?

I had four eggs in my incubator, all strong veins and very healthy looking, appeared perfectly forming on lockdown day. 3 hatched on day 20. The last egg has not pipped, I cannot hear peeping inside. What should I do? How long to wait it out? It was put in the same day as the others and appeared...

Hi all, I am thrilled to have just hatched out these three Swedish flower hen chicks . They are one day old. I just don’t get this feather sexing thing. They all look the same to me. Here’s a few pics of my three chicks... what are your thoughts? Male or female?

I’ve read several people’s comments about when their pullets are ready to start laying they sing an egg song to the roosters?? Also, I’ve read there is an egg song after they lay an egg. ive heard of that one, but not the other. Mine are almost at the age to lay and I haven’t noticed any song...
