Can anyone tell me what color the "dark brown" in the center is? Got a few eggs from a local guy, hatched them out, and got two dark brown.

Hey all, Had an interesting morning today... Of our nine hens, we have one on eggs, one practicing, and now a third lurking the area and making the "broody screech". Now we've had two of these three girls raise a batch of babies before, and are completely okay with them having more (though the...

Hello All, I am coming to you all with my hands up in the air. I have a leghorn who gave me 20 eggs and then stopped. Magically. I live in the Bay Area of California. This started about 6 months ago. I have exhausted every tip I could find on why this would be and how to remedy it but to no...

Trying to get some feelers out for a Bourbon Red turkey over a Broad Breasted White or Bronze turkey, eggs or chicks. Anybody have any experience with this cross or pictures? Ideally we want this cross for a plumper version of a pure heritage Bourbon Red for next Thanksgiving as our BR girls...

I have a broody hen and 6 chicks (there were 8 but 2 died) and MITES. Since two chicks had died I decided to give broody and the remaining chicks ivermectin as a quick ditch effort. I got rid of all the bedding and I did put new mats in the lay boxes after I doused them with the permethrin. I...

After twenty weeks, she finally did it!

My MIL just recently picked up some chicks from a local feed store and they ended up getting a 6 week old brabanter, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with determining it's sex. I've never had a crested bird and everything I've read leads me to believe they are much harder to sex. She...

In the last hour, one of my 1.5 week old poults has started running up and down the pin, "crying" (like the where are you chirp), trying to jump out like a mad turkey, and generally scaring his 9 brooder mates. I am afraid its losing it's mind. I really don't know what to do. It's been eating...

Hey hey, hopefully I'm putting this in the right place, this is my first issue at BYC so i read the FAQ and i think I'm good, but here it goes... So starting yesterday, i was surfing the BYC app (I have an LG charge, I'll try to find my tablet tonight to verify it's not just this device) and...

My chickens aren't eating the fruits and veggies I throw out. I am wondering if them having access to their flock raiser all the time is the culprit? I want to give them the scraps from dinner but they won't eat them! They'll of course eat the dried worms I offer but won't actually eat the other...

So this evening we started our third incubation, a friend of ours recieved a blue copper maran rooster and his Americauna has been laying fertile green eggs quite consistently. We had eight saved from march 29th until today, and threw in a random brown egg just to fill the incubator. I've...

I bought this little lady under the assumption she was a Cream Legbar hence the $12... When I got her home I noticed for one she had slightly feathered legs and she was a lot larger than the rest. She also has muffs and a beard, so then I wondered if she was an Easter egger, thinking she had...

Looking for local lavender orpington hatching eggs or information about local places getting chick's in. I want to be able to pick them up. Willing to travel between Sacramento and San Jose... or close areas to those spots. Thanks in advance!

4.5 week olds. I hatched them from egg. Breeds could be as follows: RIR X Barred Rock RIR X Buff Orpington RIR X Golden Comet RIR X Black Sex Link 3rd little chicken hates being handled= bad picture. Six different chicks. Pretty positive the barred rock is a male. Thoughts?

I got 3 Cream Legbar from a feed store today. Got home and had to take the necessary, "Look what I got" pictures... and holy moly! One has lightly feathered feet!!!! Obviously that's not a thing right? So does anyone know what's going on?

I have no clue what to do.. I had two chicks hatch over night and on inspection at 5am, everything was seemingly normal. Further inspection at 8:30AM, I am dealing with a dieing chick! It is rapidly breathing, and made a few cheeps, and then pushed to get up and more intestines came out. I am...
