Hi All :frow Can you please help with with the breed of these two? I rescued them, and was told there were bantams (which I have never had). My husband says they are too big for a bantam. Any guesses would be appreciated. They can fly 🦅 Thanks much!

Hi All :frow I discovered this little weirdo in my Cemani coop today. The girls range from just under two to about 20 wks. I’ve never had any of these hens/pullets give me any unusual eggs, but not sure if this a first for the youngest. Super thin shell - I broke up the mystery clump and it...

Hi All :frow It has sure been awhile since I’ve been here, I hope everyone is doing fantastic! For those who aren’t familiar with my hatch-a-longs, they have been reliably dismal, so I’ve just let my hens do the work for the last year +/-. That being said… I’m asking for a friend - if she had...

Hi all :frow I have had my Cemani flock for a year and a half now. I got them from a very reputable breeder and friend of my husbands, who had his breeders shipped to him from all over the world, and he was very into culling even the newest babies who had even a hint of white in them. Last May...

Hi all - Happy Holidays! Found this in one of my coops (😳) What does it look like to you? Never seen this before. Thanks 🙏

Hi All :frow I have a six month old pullet that is taking a turn that came on quickly. She is slow, not eating a whole lot, but drinking more than usual. She is with about 9 other girls that are six months to a year. I’ve attached pics of her poop, but it is very watery and like a...

Hi All :frow Is it possible for a pullet to lay two eggs in one day? I have a cemani/legbar mix pullet (6 1/2 months old) who just started laying about a month ago. She is part of my cemani flock, and the only mix that is kept in this flock, so the only pullet in this coop that lays a blue...

Hello All - I have been having issues with incubation for awhile with my cemani eggs. I have taken all the advice I have been given, and I just am not sure what is going on. I am attaching pics in hopes someone can tell me at what day these might be quitting. The fertility rate has been more...

Hi All :frow It’s been awhile since I’ve had some fun here, so I’ve decided to forget about my stellar incubation hatching stats and give it another go! I just set 17 Cemani eggs. I will be attempting a dry hatch this time to see how that works; it can’t be worse than I’ve done in the past...

Hi all - I have now two pullets that are acting like their legs go numb after walking a bit, one pullet is dropping both wings before dropping to the ground. They are bout 16 weeks, eat Nutrena All Flock feather fixer and scratch and fruits and veggies occasionally. The droopy wing girl has...

Hi all :frow I test bred my Ayam Cemani rooster with my CCL, and was surprised by the results. I am no genetics wiz, I am just trying to understand better the genetics my flock have. By the results of this offspring, can I assume my rooster has two fm? Thanks! I’ve attached pictures of...

Hi All :frow We are having the worst biting gnats invasion we have every seen. They leave welts on my husband, it’s horrible. I had 20 chicks in my outside brooder ranging from 1-3 weeks old. I went out on Thursday to greet them, with 14 chicks on their coop floor, dead. No blood, no...

Hi all :frow I have four mixes that are three months old, and I am not sure what they are. Can you please help me guess? I will list pics of the cockerel and the rooster, the mamas and then the nuggets. The first one is a cross from my Cemani rooster and my cream Legbar mix. It is practically...

I have an eight month old Blue Plymouth named Ethyl. She is one of three Plymouths that came into my flock last year. Her sister, Miss Betty White, passed recently. Ethyl has been acting off for about two weeks. Her balance has been off, she’s been moving slowly and has been allowing me to pick...

Hi All I have one olive Egger that has consistently put out eggs with excess calcium, but not one with this much. Where could the source of this extra be coming from? No one else in my flock has this issue. They eat layer pellets with scratch occasionally, and free range in my yard for a...

Hi all, I have a pullet who just started looking ill today. She is holding her head to the right and slowly moving in a circle to the right, with feathers fluffed out. She wouldn’t eat scratch out of my hand and is just really staying still. Her vent is clean and her crop is full. I have not...

Hi all - almost 6 weeks ago I purchased several chicks, 5 being just “Wyandotte “. These two have me scratching my head, though. They were sold as Pullets, but the difference in their combs say otherwise, to me, atleast. Could these be pencil laced Wyandottes? Or what do you see? Thanks!

Hi All - I need some clarification on an incubation question, if you don’t mind. Please and thank you 🙏 If a fertile egg was left overnight in freezing temps and was set in an incubator, could that egg show as a “clear” egg after seven days in an incubator? I was just curious to know if...

Hi all - one of my chickens just recently passed, of what, we do not know. Posted some necropsy pics, but no one commented. The were no visible worms. I saw this in someone’s poop a couple days ago, but these things weren’t moving, so I didn’t worry about it. I just now saw the same thing in...
