    Buff Brahma help 6 weeks

    Here are our two “pullets” and I’m hoping they stay that way but not sure. I have zero experience with this breed and sexing them seems more difficult for me. Thank you!

    Need help Buff Brahma Sexing

    Hi! So I’ve raised chicks for about 3 years. But these two babies are our first brahmas and I’m clueless about sexing them. They are suppose to be pullets (Mt Healthy Hatchery), and are 4 1/2 weeks old. I know it may be a bit early, but appreciate any feedback and what to watch for. Thank you!

    Help with breed and age!

    Picked up these girls from the local animal shelter. There were 13 total and the males had much bigger combs and waddles so hoping these are all girls. Are these Cochin mix? They have feathered feet and a bunch of pin feathers coming in. No clue on age or breed! But SUPER sweet!!!

    15 1/2 week Black Australorps soon to lay?

    Is it true that when pullets get bigger combs and waddles and they redden, then they are close to laying? My girls are 15 1/2 weeks and a its like all of a sudden their combs and waddles grew like crazy and reddened. Should I switch them to layer feed? These are my first babies.

    White spot on Australorp nostril

    I noticed this spot about 1 month ago. She’s 15 1/5 weeks and it doesn’t seem to bother her. Acting perfectly normal. I just don’t know what it is. Any ideas? It’s raised in a little lump

    Beak damage to 12 week old Australorp

    I was carrying a new tray into the run two days ago, when our 11, 12 week olds were startled and a couple flew. I spend a lot of time with the girls and a couple hours later I noticed one was hanging back. When I tried to give her some arugula, she could barely peck at it then I noticed her...

    Help please! 12 week old pullet barely eating and acting lethargic

    Hi all. We have 11, 12 weeks old hens. Our coop and run are kept meticulously clean, and they've never been exposed to other birds as we ordered them from cackle hatchery and are first time chicken people. I am with the chickens a lot in their covered run (pine pellets on floor over concrete). I...
