    Non layer in nesting box and being picked on

    Hi all! Still trying to figure out what is going on in my flock, and with one hen in particular. Here is the breakdown… I have a flock of 4 (2 hatch-mate pairs that stick together) that have been living peacefully together for almost 9 months: 11 mo. Rooster - Winnie 11 mo. Hen, non laying -...

    11 mo Brahma EE hen (not yet laying) with bloated abdomen… help?!

    My Brahma EE hen is not exhibiting any unusual behaviour that I’ve noticed lately. However, today she was getting into it with my two other hens (she is a month older and has always been top of the pecking order with my rooster from the same hatch). It was just odd to see them fight, and...

    What are we? 4-5 weeks

    Here I go looking for input again! Admittedly, I'm pretty preoccupied with identifying the gender of my chicks since we aren't so sure we can keep roosters... I get stressed at the idea of having to split up or rehome any of them (I have two pairs of chicks 5 weeks apart). I do not know the...

    New Member Introduction

    Based in Canada🇨🇦! (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes, brand new! The school I teach at worked with a local farming family to hatch chicks with our students. There were 3 chicks in need of a little extra TLC (a splayed leg, an injured leg, and a sick chick) when...

    Pullets or Cockerels (Hen/Roo)? 4.5 weeks old... Dark Brahma?

    Brand new to this! Can anyone more experienced help me determine if these 4.5-week-old chicks are female or not? Unfortunately, I won't be able to keep Roosters where I live. Bonus if you could tell me what breed they are! :) As you can see, they had almost identical "chipmunk" patterns as...
