Hello, all! So, I have a question that might be stupid, but genetics is new to me. I have a SLW hen from a hatchery that clearly is not a full SLW, as she has a single comb as opposed to a rose comb. Other than that, she looks like a SLW. Can I still create a Cinnamon Queen by breeding her to my...

Hello! So, I was curious, how do people mark their eggs in their incubator, such as to distinguish which eggs are from which breeding pair? So, I thought I'd post a poll on it. Thank you!

Hey, @TudyBOT how do I create a poll on BYC?

Hello! I have an ten-month-old Easter Egger named Arwen who has apparently developed an obsession with dust bathing. She is still eating, drinking, and laying like normal, but all of her other time is spent in the dust hole. She was injured by my previous rooster, Jack, with a shallow slice on...

Hello, all! I have a mean rooster whom I've kept way past his welcome. He was my good friend for a good long while, but then he started attacking me and my family. My friends I usually cull with have been saying they'll cull again "in a few weeks." That was October, and I keep getting the same...

Hello! So, I use poopboards in my coop, and when I went out this morning to scrape them off, there was blood in one spot. I'm not sure who was there, as I have thirty-nine roosting birds now. It looked almost as if someone had laid a shellless egg, but instead of a yolk, there was a gob of...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I got my first feather babies March of 2022, and my flock somehow keeps expanding! Chicken math strikes again - strike that - chicken math strikes always!! (2) How many chickens do you have right now? I started out with twelve...
