Hi all, Is this coccidiosis poop? 10 day old sussexs Thank you

I've hesitated posting because I (99%) think I have a girl... Her brother was clearly male before 10 weeks old with brown shoulders and a lovely comb. Now that this one is 10 months old and not laid an egg I'm not so sure. Do I have a girl (and an impatient egg checking habit)?

Frizzle hen, 18 months old. Only one in flock that has been ill recently but third to have the same thing... She's uncoordinated, not "ill" from it, still eating and drinking fine, just can't get up her bars anymore. Wobbliness only started 3-4 days ago, every day I let them out I think I'll...

Hi all, I have 2 Brahma chicks from the same hatch. I can't guarantee direct siblings as there's multiple roos running with a big flock, not in breeding pens at the moment. However! These 2 hatches 2 hours apart - theyre now about 7.5 weeks old - and I've got an inkling that I have one of each...

Hi all, One of my hens has changed her behaviour, just standing jn the same spot for a while. No penguin walk or panting breathing, but she seems down. I've given the flock multivitamin water (I've forgotten what it's called) this morning, and they're on a layers pellets (new feed about 2 weeks...

Hi all, I've noticed today my Silkie boy (about 6months old) has runny/foamy yellow poo - pic for interest. He has no odd behaviour, is kept "inside" in undercover run (UK AI rules) and is fed on poultry feed (layers pellets are available for the girls). He isn't lethargic or anything, still...

I've been reading that boys shouldn't be on commercial layers pellets due to not needing the calcium that they provide... which does make but in real terms, how do y'all feed your boys if they're in with the girls? I can't exactly teach them to eat only from a different feeder and the girls not...

I noticed this morning when I was letting the birds out that one of them (not sure on breed, pretty sure this one is female) had quite a red face. She is about 18 weeks old, and I've read they redden up when they're about to start laying, but she pales again after being outside for a bit. Is...

Hi all, I picked this little lady(?) About 10 days ago (she's about 11 weeks old) from a breeder and I was convinced I had a pullets, but (s)he has been picking on everyone, shaping up for chest bumps! Can anyone confirm? Editing to add its a speckled maran (bantam? I'm just getting the hang...

Hi all, I picked up my first flock 2 days ago and the breeder had said they were about 10 weeks old. I've read loads online saying you can usually start telling breeds by now, but the odd chick out is the silkie who doesn't look as old as any of the 10 week old silkies I've seen online. I am...

Hi! I've just picked up my very first flock if 6 x 10- week old chickens, all different flavours. Have already spent most of the last 2 days staring at them. There goes all my time!
