These are the only pictures I have of Emma, as she died a few years ago. I never new her breed but now I would like to know if she is a cross or a pure breed. I bought her from a local feed store when she was just a few days old, along with some other chicks. She was very small as a chick and...

This is Joy, she is six weeks old. I'm pretty sure she is a Sumatra, but I just want to make sure, because now she has a few white feathers instead of all black feathers like I thought she would have. Thanks!

One of My hens just went broody and she stole 3 eggs and I didn't know how long she had set on them so I candled them and I didn't see anything, so I was going to take them inside, but just in case I cracked one open and there was a tiny pink chick inside. I don't want to break open the other 2...

I have checked most of our chickens vents lately, and a few of them I saw had little straw colored Lice, or Mites. What can I do about Lice/Mites? One of our chickens with the lice has been acting sickly. Also, our little Ameracana pullets like to sleep in the nesting boxes in my coop (they...

About a month ago I found one of my Leghorn pullets lying on the floor of our coop, dead. The day before she was fine. A couple days ago me and my brother gave one of my little EE pullets a bath and she wriggled a lot and her head accidentally went under water a few times. The next day my...

Here they are with their Silkie Mother.

When do broody hens usually stop taking care of their babies?

I got Eden and three others for Christmas, they were about a day old then. One of them was crippled, and she died. I feather sexed them when I got them (It was the first time I ever feather sexed), and I was sure that I had 2 boys and 1 girl. But now I'm not sure about her. It looks like she's...

I got these chicks from TSC. I have three and my brother has three. These three are mine. I'll post pictures of my brothers chicks soon. But I was wondering if y'all can tell me what breed they are? They have single combs. I'm guessing that the white chick (Lydia) is a WR??The other two, maybe...

Hi, I am wondering what color eggs do silkies lay? I'm confused. Some people say cream colored, some say white. Which is right?

What products do I need to get my bird ready to show?

I already know the genders of these chicks, but I need y'all's opinions on their breeds, and most importantly, ages. Eden looks the youngest, and is the smallest of the four. I'm guessing Edens the youngest. Johnny and Dustin look the same age. Emma I'm sure is the oldest. Eden Johnny Emma...

Hello- I got this chick from a farm two days before Christmas, and I would like to know breed and age. I'm thinking he is a mix. Because he has feathered feet, is bearded, and has muffs. (Fluffy cheeks) Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks! His feathers are Barred.

Hello, my Black Cochin Bantam hen, Esther, is losing her foot scales. First, her scales were raised, and I was thinking she had leg mites. I put some leg mite stuff on her feet, but I only put it on her ounce. And now she is losing her scales. Her feet look red and raw. I don't know what to do...

I was wondering, when will my Silkie cockerels start crowing? And my brothers Buff Cochin, Big Boy, only crows less then once a week. Do Buff Cochins only crow once in a while? Or do they crow daily??
