I have a hen that just hatched a baby. The chick it chirping and feathered except the back of its head. Is this the yolk or exposed brain??? The mom is pecking at it.

My BO pullet started crowing :) I'd like to get a batch of chicks from him. I have two hens that are laying regularly, an EE and a Production Black. I also have 2 BR that lay once in a blue moon :( The cockerel is in a separate tractor with a CM. They are around 14-16 weeks, so I don't expect...

I have two Barred Rocks that quit laying over the winter. I got them from someone when they were hens & don't quite know the age. One appeared to go through a mini-molt about a month ago. Every couple of days I'm getting a soft-shelled egg from one of them that pretty much breaks as soon as...

Hi, I've had my first chicks for two days now. I wasn't planning on getting them so soon, so I'm not totally prepared. (I went by a feed store and got the chicken fever.) Right now I have them in a plastic storage bin in my living room. I'd like to let them out to run around in our yard, but...

Hi, I'm a newbie still in the planning stages of getting a flock. After reading another post and some great advice from a member here, I'm thinking about Bantams. My main goal is farm fresh eggs, but we aren't huge egg eaters anyway, so I think we can make due with the smaller eggs. I was...

Hello, I have zero chicken experience, but I'm hoping to change that soon. I'm still in the research and planning phase. I've already learned a great deal from this site. Thank you to everyone for sharing your experiences!
