My four year old speckled Sussex seems to have a mild case of sour crop and I’ve forgotten how to treat it since the last time I dealt with sour crop. She was attacked by an eagle last year and had some serious injuries. She’s basically made a full recovery but she’s never been quite herself...

I was wonder what colors of barring are possible in chickens. I know that other species of bird have barring (or at least what looks like barring) in plenty of colors such as brown and black or even blue and black in blue jays. Is black and white all that chickens have?

My almost four year old speckled Sussex hen is looking a little bit lethargic. Might just be an off day, but just in case could someone give me a brief list of what could be up with her? I don’t remember all the stuff that can be wrong with chickens as well as I used to :oops:

What are your favorite songs right now?

This is really random but if you had say two Orpingtons (or any other breed) of different colors and you bred them, would the offspring still be considered orpingtons or would they be mutts?

I figured that since they’re literally my name (and I couldn’t find an existing thread) I’d start a thread on Easter Eggers! Easter Eggers are not an actual breed but I still love them. An Easter Egger is any mix that has the blue egg gene. That means any not purebred bird that lays blue or...

Hello! You may or may not remember me but I was on BYC a lot a little while back. I kinda forgot about it for a bit :oops: but I'm going to try to be on here a little more now :D

@TudyBOT can you tell me a chicken joke?

Three users, all of which have joined in the past hour, are spamming in separate sections: “adgasdad01” and “wei4kolfrd” are creating threads titled with a number and a letter while “Discussion9856” is spamming Chinese about some university

My almost three year old speckled Sussex hen, Sugar, has been acting a little slow, hanging her butt to the ground, sitting often etc. I’m worried she might be egg bound. What should I do?

Sorry if this is the wrong section for this thread. I’d love to see the largest and the smallest next to each other. Thanks!

I love lavender and splash. How about you?

Back in the day (2020-21) I did something called E’s weekly searches where every week or so I’d post something to search on the internet that was interesting or funny. I was looking back and thought ‘huh, how stupid was I. Obviously this would work a lot better in a thread.’ So here’s the...

Hi, I’m EEforMe, but you can call me E! I currently have ten birdies in my flock and one blind girl who lives separately: Chirp, our oldest at I think 8. Female. She’s pretty skittish but I still love her: Denver, at 6. Female. Not super friendly but more so than Chirp: Butterscotch, 5...

This summer, one of my hens, Sugar, a Speckled Sussex, was attacked by an eagle. She later got sour crop and recovered from it a month or two ago. It wasn’t a huge deal. I just noticed her face looked… off. Upon further inspection she’s breathing with her mouth open quite often and has...

Last year we got eight chicks from my pet chicken. One of them died the night we got her (however sad, that’s a story for another time). Of the remaining seven one was a golden cuckoo maran. She always seemed to behave…differently from the others. As she got older she got BIG. Now she’s far over...

At the beginning of the summer one of my hens, Sugar, was attacked by an eagle. She made it but it was pretty bad. We took her to the vet and paid quite a bit for her to get stitches. Now she’s acting a little lethargic and has a pale face. Her crop feels full of fluid but not too much and I’m a...

So first off this might not be the right section for this thread but “genetics” so idk. This may seem like a dumb question but it’s also something I’m very curious about. So, are genetically modified colorful chickens possible? My idea is that since there are many birds with colorful feathers...

How the game works Anyone can play. Someone starts by posting the number one. Then everyone else posts the following numbers (2, 3, 4) after that one by one. If a number is said multiple times the game’s over, we lose. Nothing else can be said until the game finishes besides numbers in...

I want baby chicks SO bad but my parents don’t want to have to deal with the chickens when I’m in college so their not going to let me get more :hit:hit BUT the year olds (which there are 4 of) are going to be around a lot longer than the couple of years before I graduate high school. So just...
