I have two male zebra finches that I purchased around a month ago. I've had one of them for two months- Aaron- and the other for only four weeks- Ryan- but since introducing the youngest one to the oldest, I've noticed Aaron has lost lots of feathers and his tail is completely gone. I've been...

When I went to check on the chickens this morning, I noticed Eden's comb was pale and droopy. She'd just finished laying an egg and the egg was perfectly fine. She's running around chasing bugs, she's eating normally and drinking normally, everything she usually does is fine. My other...

I've read a few, actually a lot, of posts that are completely against keeping chicks with older chickens. I raised Beatrice, along with two roosters I had to give away, from the moment she was a week old and I've had her ever since. She's now 23/24 weeks old and lives with two Black Australorps...

So, after giving Kenny and Mac away to a farm, I decided to get a new chicken for Beatrice to hang out with. I just got it about an hour ago and in that time, I've noticed some of its top beak is missing and it definitely likes to go outside. I had it in a cage and then it jumped out of it and...

My beautiful Beatrice, a red sex link, started laying a few days ago. She'd only started laying three days ago- including one today that has me worrying. It is soft in some spots and a very light brown with dark spots. Her usual eggs are a beautiful brown colour unlike this one. I'm concerned...

Hi there, just wondering how I would go about feeding my Beatrice, a red sex link, who is seventeen weeks old. She's getting ready to lay but I know without sufficient calcium she might become easily eggbound. How might I feed her layer feed while the other two chicks, roughly six week old...

My rooster, Kenny- also known as Keisha before I knew she was a he- was wheezing when I put him away for the night. He had been fine all day until around five this afternoon. He kept making noises, very common clucking noises, and after each one would exhale a large breath. I picked him up...

Recently I discovered that two of my three beautiful girls are roosters. It turns out that Mackenzie and Keisha are really Kenny and Mac. I'm devastated to give my beautiful girls- uh- boys up. They're so loveable and friendly. I have no idea what I'm going to do with them. Perhaps take them...

I opened the coop the other day to find that my beautiful Mackenzie, of undetermined breed, was missing a few feathers. I dismissed it and decided to watch them a bit more closely. That was a few days ago. This afternoon I'm outside fixing the back fence with my older sister when she turns...

I have three chickens, as some members may know. I have a red sex link called Beatrice and two named Mackenzie and Keisha, whose breeds are currently unknown. We also have two australorps named Elsa and Beyonce- my creative little sisters named these beautiful girls. Today, we tried to...

I recently purchased two beautiful Australorps- By 'recently', I mean today. I read about a feather sexing method and took a photo of Elsa's wings- Okay, so they're names are Elsa and Beyonce, I didn't have a say in the names. They're my little sisters chicks, so we're hoping for two...

Beatrice, Mackenzie and Keisha are three weeks old tomorrow (I got them at one week old). Yay! I must be doing something right. They already have a coop set-up outside for when they finally get big enough to go in it- I'm thinking 6-7 weeks old. I'm not ready to part with my babies just...

I'm the proud owner of three beautiful little chicks. I got them 2 weeks ago from an online seller when they were only a week old. I don't know the breed as I forgot to ask but I do need help with the genders. Any help would be appreciated. And I can provide more photos if needed but please...

I have three little chicks who are five days off three weeks old. I was wondering if you have any methods that might help in determining gender. Thanks to all who help, Rachel.

I'm the mother of three little chicks- Beatrice, Keisha and Mackenzie- all five days off three weeks old. I was curious as to when they start laying. This is my first time caring for chicks and I'm raising them on my own. Is there a usual age as to when they may start laying? I read...

Of my three beautiful chicks, who are almost three weeks old now, two do this weird dance/play-fight. I've only seen it a few times but it does cause quite the ruckus. They'll fly up a little off the ground and chirp very loudly. They'll then rumble- fight- a bit. It does disturb the youngest...

I have three beautiful little baby chicks. They are a a few days away from 3 weeks old. Just wondering if it would be okay to feed them scrambled eggs. They've had oatmeal before and loved it. Just curious about the eggs though. I've seen a lot of posts about it but would love to know about it...
