We brought home this mini Lamancha on Tuesday. And noticed she was pretty round.. she was born Jan 9th. Is she pregnant, fat, normal, or bloated? It’s pretty firm on one side but a little squishy on the other. We’re very new to goats and I’m so afraid of messing it all up.

I was told this guy was a silkie… but everyone asks what he’s mixed with. He is just a silkie…. Right? He doesn’t have the head poof like other silkie Roos I’ve seen. I want to breed him with my silkie hens to sell on our farm but want to be sure I’m labeling them correctly

I bought Buff Brahmas Jersey giants Cuckoo marans Isa browns And barred rocks So which chick is this? It doesn’t look like any of those listed but I’m new to those breeds

hey all! My chicken has been like this for 2 days now. I thought it was her crop but felt around and it’s not her crop at all. This is a bone, like her neck bone. she’s not eating, she’s drinking - she’s lethargic , can’t jump up into the coop. Poop is normal as can be for a chicken that’s not...

Hey all! I’ve never hatched or had ducks before. Would this be splay leg? I’m not sure when she hatched, I came out this morning to chirping

This is probably a long shot.. We are selling our house and have to temporarily stay with my in-laws. They are not welcoming our chickens or ducks. We have a house being moved to our land but will need someone to *temporarily* house our chickens. We have a total of 10. 8 chicks and 2 laying...

I’m thinking this one is a cockerel

This isn’t really an emergency but we have a chick that hatched with a lame leg. What are some ways I can help it? It’s 5 days old and eating/drinking just fine

we’re on day 14 and this egg here has confused me the entire time. Day 4 it had a blood ring Day 7 it had a speck Now it has some more going on I’m leaving it to see what happens but I’ve never had a “dead” egg look like this after a blood ring

Hey all! I have a broody hen we gave chicks to. She seemed to take to them at first and then she tossed one out. One of the other hens got to that one, unfortunately, before we did. Shas 3 more under her currently and is laying on them making purring noises. She’s only pecking at them if they...

Alright… 3 months ago a raccoon got my chicks and spewed them around the yard. So I bought a better coop, made a run of dog crates and reinforced it with hardware cloth and chicken wire and a screen on the inside… we got 12 more chicks. Last night a family of SEVEN raccoons ripped off the...

Alright these babies are ranging from 10-14 weeks so some are too soon to tell. I think all 3 silkies are Cockerels The buff orphingtons I have no idea The rest are of unknown breed

It's still very early but here's what I've got. Buff orphington, same age 3 weeks, some have tail feathers some have nothing. Ameraucana (unsure if I have 2 or 4) but they are only a few days apart. One has larger comb than other In question RIR mixed with something else or is ameraucana...

This is odd, but we hatched chicks and the all black chicks hatched from a pink egg laid by our Asian blacks and this penguin colored chick hatched from a brown egg our RIR laid... But this chick isn't a RIR... So what it is? Our rooster was of unknown breed

Is there any hope for this chick? I have a dropper with warm water and sugar and it swallowed some but the eyes are clouded over. I have it wrapped up in a heated blanket right now but immediately put it in my cleavage while I was on the way home trying to keep it warm

Hey all! I got bantam from an assorted run. Could they be silkies?!

This chick looks like it has pasty butt. The membrane was stuck to it and has shell pieces stuck to it. One other hatched today and is eating the shells off it. Can I help get it off??

Hey all! I have celiac and the chicken feed is really getting to me. I need some ideas or recipes for layer feed that is gluten free. Thanks in advance!

Has anyone else experienced being weirded out eating their own chickens eggs? I cooked my first up today for my oldest daughter and took a bite, while it was the best tasting egg I've ever had - I immediately felt nauseous and weird while trying the one bite! Nothing is wrong with the egg. How...

I got 4 hens from TSC and 2 from a random guy one ended up being a rooster.. One of my ladies isn't laying yet but pictured are our eggs and then chickens in hopes of finding out their breed. The colorful guy is our handsome rooster. We were told we had 2 sapphire olive eggers and 2 Asian...
