    Advice for a first timer

    We are attempting to hatch some eggs this year. Over the winter we lost 2 hens to cats. We have one hen that's been pretty broody lately so we decided to see if she will hatch the eggs. We had to start removing the ceramic eggs from whenever she was brooding because she wouldn't leave them...

    Pure Barred Rocks or australorp cross?

    I got some 5 month old pullets and they are starting to look a little interesting. Came from a breeder that sold them as pure rocks although the breeder also has several flocks and I got an australorp x barrad rock chick for free when i got the pullets. I don’t have any barred rocks so I can’t...

    Time to play "Guess that Chicken's Sex!"

    We have 18 black australorp chicks- 5 weeks old. I know it's a little early to determine sex, but thought it might be fun to try. Technically, no more than 1.8 of these chickens should be male. But, you cannot have a partial bird (that isn't in freezer camp), so I will round to two. I think we...

    Lethargy, diarrhoea and change in eyes?

    Hi there! Fairly new to the forum, wishing this wasn’t the topic of my first post but here we are. Hillary, one of my lovely Australorp x Rhode Island Reds (18mo-ish) collapsed this morning when she was let out of the coop - I was unable to get a photo as she got up shortly after (and then...

    Cluck or cockle doodle doo?

    This is Bonsai - an Australorp hatched on March 30. Same size as our other Australorp pullet and much smaller than the 8 cockerels we just rehomed that were from the same batch.

    2 blue australorp roos?

    I'm actually hoping that these are both roosters. I have a flock of black australorps and I would love if these were both roosters. I think they are, but I'm questioning the one on the right. What are your opinions? 5.5 weeks

    TaylorGlade Tails of the Banana Chicks

    So, I've noticed everyone else has their own little poultry diaries, and I thought, why not create one for us? I mean, if only to document the saga of our feathered escapades. We're like the newcomers in the chickenhood, starting from scratch with our flock. Now, picture this: I had my fair...

    Looking for quiet black chicken to add to my flock

    I’m interested in adding a black pullet chick to my flock with our next round of raising chicks. We live in a neighborhood, on about a half acre, and thankfully, our neighbors are for the most part cool with it, but I want to make sure we’re looking at quieter breeds. We are of course going to...

    12 Week old Blue Australorp?

    Hello, I purchased this Blue Australorp from a local farm 2 days ago. She was listed as 12 weeks old, but to me she looks very small for 12 weeks. These pictures were taken when I got her. Does she look 12 weeks old? Thank you 😊

    Why I Love Chickens (weird story)

    (I blurred the bg cause this is not my property) (Or my chicken, actually, but I have no idea who's chicken she is) The story: One day I was taking a walk with my sister, bio mom, and grandma, when I came across this chicken. She was standing in the road, just staring at me. I thought she had...
