    Is this a rooster?

    Hello! I got five Brahma chicks from Tractor Supply and was told they were all sexed and they were all hens. I got them when they were maybe 5 to 6 days old and they’re about five weeks old now. But I am really thinking the one with the comb and waddle that is more red is a rooster. He has the...

    When to transition chicks to coop with other hens

    Hello! We have 8 death layer chicks who are almost 5 weeks old, they are fully feathered, & just seem like they’re getting much too big for the brooder we have. I do feel that death layers mature more quickly than other chickens I’ve had. It is summertime & hot where I live, so heat is not an...

    I just got 5 light Brahma chicks! I was curious how much bigger other peoples Brahma’s got than their regular chickens, also I’d love to see pics of your Brahma’s too! I’ve read they are really friendly so me & my kids are very excited for this breed & just looking more into it! Thank you!

    Cross breed question!

    Has anyone ever cross bred a laughing chicken (ayam ketawa) & a death layer chicken? We lost some chickens recently so we want to incubate more. & we’ve incubated plenty in the past but not cross breeds, so I was just curious if anyone has cross bred these breeds before? Thank you!

    Can an egg bound chicken poop?

    I believed that my laying silkie was egg bound. One day I went out & she was laying in the spot she lays her eggs & didn’t really seem to want to move & I thought maybe she was just in the process of laying. So I let her be. The following day, I go out & she is in the same spot & he vent seems...

    Thank you for that info! I had wrapped it legs with a Band-Aid like you had mentioned, and she is all better! Running around, getting her own food and water now!

    Silkie chick isn’t moving around

    So I have probiotics in the water and have just been going out and physically moving her to give her water and had some food crumbles in front of her. She has perked up and is starting to move around a bit more. Still not like a typical chick at that age. But making progress! I have had to help...

    Silkie chick isn’t moving around

    I have been hatching some silkies. I had one egg that was working on hatching and wasn’t making progress so I had ended up helping it hatch. I’ve hatched a lot of eggs & I only interfere with the hatching process if I feel like it is necessary and they will not make it if I don’t & they haven’t...

    Chicken with a possible broken leg

    Today I saw one of my chickens hiding in the coop, they’re only a couple months old so still try to run when we try to get them from the coop. So, amongst trying to get her out she tried to get away & was limping so bad that she would fall into the splits. Other chickens were pecking at her &...
