Broody hen was sitting for what I thought was 3 weeks I did t really keep track. I put day olds under her but left the other eggs thinking she would realize they were duds. Well she didn't realize that so I removed the eggs and left the baby chicks. Next day two chicks were squashed under her...

8 weeks 3 days old. Is this a boy or a girl. Just a mix breed.

Any suggestions on these? The one with feathers on the feet I think is a cockerel but the others I’m stumped. 8 weeks old.

I’m sitting outside and I hear a scuffle so I look and see the pullet , which now I think cockerel, mounted the big EE trying to do her. My jump up scared him and he jumped off. So....is that a sure sign she’s a he?

I have put DE on these bugs and nothing has happened. What are they? If I move a nesting box some chickens will come and eat them. They seem to like to be in the dark.

What if other birds are not showing symptoms. Would that be bacterial infection? How long does a hen live if it has pneumonia? Wouldn't other hens have it after a week or so? One of my birds has a gurgling sound when I stroke her neck. She sneezes, don't think it's a caugh. IT is too late and...

I treated for tapeworms with zemectin gold on the 14th. This is the poop from 2 gals. Waiting the 10 days to treat again. So I'm confirming this is the tapeworm sheddings and that I need to treat again.

If my girls are hungry enough will they eat the pellets? They came from crushed feed. They roam our urban backyard and I feed about 3 cups morning and night for 5 hens. They don't come running for food, just scraps.

I'm pretty sure that's my breed. I do have 1 leg horn and 4 OEGHs. I love the leg horn. The game hens...not so much. I have had them for about a month. I'm not sure which ones are laying but I think 2 are. The game hens are super scared of me. I've given treats etc. Everytime I'm in the coop the...

Any clues as to what type of hens these are?

1 white is not laying and 1 red is not laying

I noticed she was limping. Looked under foot for a thorn or something and it looked clean and she didn't jump when I applied pressure. I then checked her vent for a stuck egg and nothing. I slathered olive oil all over her. She is still laying, but still limps. After I checked her vent she...
