    Weird poop?

    Oh yes I forgot to say, she's 16 weeks old so no eggs yet, they're on growers pellets and a few black soldier fly larvae. The poop had a bit of grass and some seedy bits.

    Weird poop?

    Hi, today my buff orpington did this weird looking poo, they were wormed 2 weeks ago. Does this look odd or is it just nothing?

    Lice on chickens

    Hi, does anyone know what to use to get rid of lice in chickens. I'm in ireland so most products in the US aren't available here. I have used diatomaceous earth but it hasnt fully solved the problem. Thank you

    Open Contest Memories of Summer—2025

    My favourite memory of the summer was hatching eggs under a broody hen for the first time. Only one hatched and of course he's a cockerell. That one egg cost me over €1,000 but once Sesame is happy I'm happy. I got him 8 new ladies but sadly 3 died from an unknown illness but they are better...

    Are you talking about the wild type in the video? If so, that is a hen.

    Sick chick

    I have them inside, as I think when they're outside, that's maybe how they got sick. When they were all sick, I dosed for coccidiocis no good results. They got worse. Then we wormed them a couple of days later , and they started getting better. They were a bit better before I wormed them. They...

    Sick chick

    My 14 week old buff orpington pullet keeps feeling poorly. One day she would be great then she would be lethargic and not eat but then the next day she would be fine again. Around 5 weeks ago her and 8 other chicks were sick. None were eating and had diarrhea and were very poorly. This resulted...

    Hen raised vs brooder question

    I think they have better chances of being healthy in the wild as they always would be moving onto new ground. But in captivity they would be kept in an enclosure and be on the same ground.

    Dry skin on silkies face!

    Hi, today I was holding my silkie pullet and realised she had dry skin all over her face. It's not lice eggs, it's sort of flaky. It was covering one eye. I got a damp cotton pad and gently wiped her face. It cleared lots of the dry skin around and on her eye. Her eye is looking normal. It's not...

    What colour is my silkie pullet?

    The only other silkie I have is a partridge pullet same age as her. I probably won't breed her for now... as I'm happy with the amount of hens now. But I might in the future.

    What colour is my silkie pullet?

    Unfortunately I don't know who her parents were. I have my lesson learned to never buy from poultry sales again, even if they do have the fancier breeds. The seller only told me they were pullets. He was busy selling other birds and didn't have time to talk unfortunately. I also don't like the...

    What colour is my silkie pullet?

    Ooh, I wasn't sure as when I googled the buff silkies they were so much darker than she is. I have no idea what age she is but she doesn't sound like a chick anymore, my 'teenagers' cheep a little but she screams! Hopefully she'll lay an egg soon. Thank you

    What colour is my silkie pullet?

    Hi, I have Hennefir my silkie pullet for a little over a month and is stumped at what colour she is. I'm leaning towards a mix of a few colours, if anyone knew what colours she's mixed with or maybe she's a colour that I have not come across yet.
