    Week-old chicks…now other hen has gone broody

    We have a small flock of three hens and a rooster and are letting the hens hatch and raise their own chicks. We have three chicks being raised by two hens (they shared a nesting box and seem to be co-parenting well). The chicks are a week old. The other hen has now gone broody in a different...

    Sexing bantam cochins

    These ones were born May 20, and they're a new breed for us. I understand they take forever to sex but is there any way to tell before they crow? They're all so friendly I'd hate for them to all be cockerels. Also, any ideas on colours? Will my speckled yellow/black baby be mottled? She has...

    Polish babies

    Enjoy these pics of my silly new babies, born May 20. I know their tell tale crest shape will indicate male/female when they're older. But is there anything else to look for? We haven't had Polish before now.

    BCM, 4 weeks

    I have three baby black coppet marans, born May 20 (so I know it's early). I'm leaning toward #3 being a boy. I know the obvious male copper spots on the shoulders when I see them but is there anything else I can look for?

    5-Week Old Chicks Piling

    My husband and I are brand new chicken parents. Our four Buff Orpingtons are now 5 weeks old, and we recently noticed a concerning habit when we turn the lights off at night. Instead of going under the EcoGlow to sleep, our girls will squash themselves into the very corner of the brooder and...

    What color Wyandotte?

    Is this girl a blue lace or golden laced Wyandotte? I have a few but her color is a lot different than the others.

    Strange Beak Bruising On All Month Old Chicks

    Hi, I noticed today that all 7 of my month old chicks (Orpingtons and RIRs) have bruised, flaking beaks. I don't know what could cause this or how to treat it. I'm suspecting either fungal infection (which again I'm not sure how to treat or how they would have gotten it) or maybe they've damaged...

    Help IDing this chicken

    Hello, I am a new chicken owner. I went to tractor supply and asked for two Rhode Island Reds, but ended up with two of another breed. I have been searching online and think they may be ISA Browns but I am not really sure. Can anyone help with the ID? They are about ~5 weeks old. If I missed...

    Today my Rhode Island Red chicks are 4 weeks old! They are growing super fast and making more of a mess these days lol They have learned to scratch and I am having to sweep around their pen a couple times a day from all the wood chips. They are all perching and they love Kale!

    Can i add new chicks?

    I had a hen hatch 4 chicks and a month later 3 of the 4 just disappeared. The hen is still mothering the one remaining. Our local feed store sells chicks. Can I buy a few day Olds and sneak them under the mother at night? And will she raise them? Will we have problems with our 1 month old being...
