The rooster is a blue black ameraucana. His harem consists of a rir, a chocolate orpington, a blue black ameraucana, a fbcm, a golden comet and, an olive egger. I know there was at least 1 chick that hatched from all but the black...some eggs were incubated and some the chocolate orpington...

Hello! For the first time ever I had a broody hen hatch some eggs! Woohoo!!! But now i have questions...Her first two chicks hatched Saturday morning, then another Sunday morning, one Sunday night, and then another is working its way out of its shell right now (Monday morning) So my question is...

Hello, I have been concerned with feed lately since it feels like my Chickens, Chicks, Quail, and Guineas are eating it too fast or being messy with it. I mainly want to know how much feed they are supposed to eat (each poultry type) and how conserve it. I have 12, 8 month old chickens, 11 6...

We have a missing hen, this much is quite common. However we also have a family member who does security installation, so we have a ridiculous amount of cameras around the property. We watched this hen walk under the porch, which opens up to under the house, and we are 90% sure that she did not...

Has anyone ever been convinced their chicks were Cockerals/Rooster only to be surprised with a Pullet/Hen instead? If so, what were your experiences? Was it the early development of Comb/Wattles, behavior, feathering/patterns, or even the crowing? I want to hear about your sneaky tomboy hens! :D

Hi! I'm by no means new to raising poultry, I am however new to breeding them. Does anybody have some tips, tricks or advice for a new breeder? Are there any supplies I should invest it? I currently have some little ayam cemanis that I plan to breed when they're old enough. I'm also planning...

Hello! I decided to let my broody RSL hatch some chicks. I purchased fertilized eggs from a local farmer and 3 weeks later had 8 beautiful and colourful chicks. Fast forward 2 weeks and 2 days post hatch…. They are fighting! Like draw blood on the comb fighting. My biggest bully (who I for some...

My hen Pepper, had only one chick hatch, so I ran to Tractor Supply Store last night before they closed and picked up 2 Blue Plymouth Rocks and 3 Marans The orange chick is the one she hatched. Everybody seems contented and happy today.

I have silkie chicks that are now about a 1 1/2 weeks old. I noticed last week, one had what appeared to be poop dried on its bottom, so I assumed it was pasty butt and brought it in that evening to try and clean it up! When I brought it in and started to try and clean it, I noticed that it...

I have 2 black copper Maran roosters in my flock and several different hen types. I recently had a successful hatch of 2 eggs from my coop one is very much a Maran the other I believe is a x with ISA brown. Opinions? Thoughts? How do I determine sex? Thanks!

Is it a good idea to combine my 5 and 9 week old chicks?

Hi everybody! I'm new to this website but I've seen it advertised often while searching about chickens and other poultry. I'm not sure how to start this intro, so I'll just let these questions do it for me 💗 (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I've had chickens my...

In the coop to the left of the photo, I have eight week old babies along with mama. When they start laying, I plan on integrating them with my existing flock. My question is at what point do I remove mama from the babies because mama is from my in-laws flock as she was broody and hatched our 12...

I have quite a few chicks that act like this. they walk around normal, and then they will lay down and look exhausted. Some of them stand with your eyes closed, and their heads dropped forward. They have been acting like this for about two weeks. I thought they were recovering from Coryza. My...

Good morning! I am a chicken newbie of one month. My mother raised ducks but I never liked them because they were mean to me as a toddler. We have three single-comb, brown leg, three Columbian Wyandotte, and two Barred Rock. The Wyandottes are the calmest. The three brown leg remind me of the...

Just in case this could be illness-related I’m posting this here! Likely isn’t anything bad but a chicken parent is allowed to worry. I have a young Silkie, about 6-7 weeks old. Not sure of their sex yet, but at this point it’s leaning to cockerel unfortunately. Especially when looking at their...
