Good morning... yesterday I noticed my 16 week old ISA brown being less active. She was walking around, but not her normal self. It was almost "bedtime" and she was not going into the coop with the other girls. I picked her up and looked her over and she seemed fine, chirping to me and moving...

***NEW PIC ON PAGE 2*** First I want to say... none of my girls have missing feathers or unhealthy-looking plumage... ...but I was just out in their coop to do a head check, and I saw these teeny tiny crawling bugs on my Arlo camera when I adjusted it. Are these mites?? If they are, can anyone...

Hello all! I have an 8 week old Easter Egger that I am on the fence about. Nothing *really* screams cockerel to me... but... (s)he just really has a strong personality and I'm not sure if the comb is too red for being 8 weeks old?? I would love to hear what you guys think. Any help is...

Good Evening Flock Family! A friend of mine recently(2 weeks ago) picked up 5 chicks from a local feed store. They were marked as pullet Americanas. One of her chicks looks like a possible roo suspect and we would love to hear y'alls thoughts! It is still veeeery early for guessing since they...

I grew up with chickens... but never owned any (as an adult!) until this year. I picked up some chicks in April, and have been thoroughly enjoying helping them grow into big girls. I am, unfortunately, not sure on what breeds some of them are... I believe they may have been mislabeled, but I...
