    Roosters are obsessed with only one hen

    It is not unusual for one hen to be the "target" of the roosters. Sometimes it comes from the hens behavior such as not accepting initial advances or self isolation making them like a stranger to the flock. Other times it can be hormonal vibes that the hen gives off. I would suggest making...

    Chick with yolk sac?

    I don't have a lot of experience with this situation, but I believe a yolk sack would be more yellow. If it was a yolk sack it would continue to be absorbed. Hopefully someone more familiar with this will chime in soon.

    Soft shells nonstop now

    Since your hen mostly laid through molt, it might be her system is due for a break. Hopefully the soft shells don't cause any serious problems and hopefully her system will take a break and reset soon.

    Sick Roo

    Since comb color is influenced by hormones any type of illness could be causing the pale comb. I agree the black specks are likely from other birds pecking him.

    Not an ISA brown male. It is likely some type of EE pullet.

    Egg Color and Hatch Success

    Most likely it has more to do with egg quality of individual hens than the incubation, but there are a few connections possible. First where were the eggs in the Incubator? We're the ones from the same hen together. If this is the case there is a chance there was a more suitable temperature...

    Help! How to feed a chicken with severe vitamin B deficiency!

    I have not needed to do this, but ducklings frequently need more niacin which is a B vitamin. (There are many). For ducklings a liquid B complex that is normally used as a cattle injection is given orally. I am not familiar with what type of B is needed here, but I wonder if the complex would...

    Rooster Breed

    I think that looks like single barring on a male. That would indicate mixed breeding. If you purchased him probably some type of black sex link.

    Something is wrong with my drake

    How is he doing today? Was he with other drakes in the pen? If so injury vs eating something bad is likely. Unfortunately I don't know anything for if he got into something bad other than fluids and removing him from doing it again. Maybe someone who does will chime in.

    Something is wrong with my drake

    Was this morning the first you noticed any off? With the sudden onset I'm wondering if he could have gotten into something poisonous. Is anyone else in the flock acting strangely?

    Cheap fencing ideas

    Does the area just need to keep chickens in or does it need to keep predators out?

    Run under raised deck: good idea or bad?

    I have included our deck inside my duck pen. My ducks are only locked in the pen at night, so not usually there when we are on the deck. My chickens come into the pen during the day, but don't usually go under the deck. I would not expect your chickens to have much build up for poop, I think...

    Chicken Cracked Beak near Nostrils advice

    If she is eating, drinking and not being picked on she should be with the flock. Be aware that with some birds 11 days gone can be like a new integration. I would place her with the flock when you have plenty of time to watch how they interact. Be prepared to place her in see no touch if it...

    2-3 weeks old, mareks?

    This is not Marek's. These chicks are struggling with body temperature. Chicks need a place to warm up, but they also need a place to cool down. Raising the heat lamp could help, but they really need a larger ventilated area.
