Hi! I ordered chicks from McMurray hatchery and I got the rare breed assortment, it’s always fun figuring out the breeds but some have me stumped, they look like one breed but also look like another! Any ideas?
Hi all! My favorite hen passed away three weeks ago so I decided to incubate her eggs left behind. Only one baby made it but to my surprise, instead of being black, white, or blue, the baby is brown? I’m curious to see if anyone else has had a brown chick after crossing a barred hen with a...
Hello everyone,
My 3 year and 4 month old leghorn hen has just been experiencing a hard/solid crop and is repeatedly adjusting her crop (even when she is roosting/sleeping). She is still acting perfectly fine, eating/drinking normally and is active. I'm not so sure about how her poop looks like...
She has an all white body with black feather accents on her neck and tail (excuse the blurriness).
p.s. i bought 4 chicks and 2 ducklings at the same time and now they're inseparable!
I got this hen today, but I don't know exactly what she is. The lady I got her from had a LARGE variety of chickens. She's a honey-golden color with green legs. (And don't worry, she's sleeping in that one picture, lol.)
What breed of chicken is this chicken? The 2nd pic, he/she is on the left. I bought them all as Dominique’s, but the chicken labeled #3 is not a Dominique. What do you think it is? Also, is it a rooster or hen? It acts just like a rooster by staying back and watching everyone and pushes the...
Hello! I'm buying this chick its breed and gender is unknown, it's around 3-4 weeks old. Any guesses on gender or breed (more interested in gender as I already have a pilkie cockerel) thanks :)
This chick is a little over 3 weeks old and Is smaller as well as skinnier than her sister. She also has more white spots on her feathers. I know she is a barred rock bantam but I think she might be an Old English Barred Bantam. Though she is smaller than her sister, her comb and waddle are...

Hello everyone, I have a 1 year and 5 month old Easter Egger hen and she just started loosing a bunch of feathers starting from 2 days ago. I don't know what to do and i'm very scared something is wrong. When I also touch/pull out her feathers gently, it falls out very easily. Could this be...
I have an around 14 month EE hen named Tiny. 4 months ago, she became sick for around a week and we gave her dewormer medication and epsom salt baths and over time she became fine. Her comb got huge and red and she has silky clean feathers and she loves to run around the yard. She hasn’t laid a...
Hello everyone, I know it's pretty weird of my-self to ask how much chicken scratch should i feed to my chickens but I really want to feed them the best/desired amount. I bought a bag of Dumor 6 grain chicken scratch at my local TSC (LINK to chicken scratch...
