    Hen showing rooster signs; crowing, mating dance and more

    I have an around 14 month EE hen named Tiny. 4 months ago, she became sick for around a week and we gave her dewormer medication and epsom salt baths and over time she became fine. Her comb got huge and red and she has silky clean feathers and she loves to run around the yard. She hasn’t laid a...

    Roosters or Hens - 6 weeks old. Are all 3 roosters?!

    One of our chickens went broody and ended up surprising us with 3 new chicks! They are 6 weeks old in two days. I’ve read that at 6 weeks hens shouldn’t have a very developed comb or wattle, but all 3 of these do! Is it possible/likely at all 3 are roosters, or is this normal? We would be very...

    Baby died in incubator during lockdown

    One of our quail baby eggs pipped and the baby didn't make it but the incubator was in lockdown because our chicken eggs were due right at the same time. We couldn't see the dead baby, one of our chickens hatched another pipped and looks like it died. I don't know what to do. The dead quail baby...

    Is there such a thing as Brown Sex Link? (using Barring gene)

    A couple of months ago, I hatched Black Sex link chicks from my Golden Spangled Appenzeller Spitzhauben rooster x Dominique hen. It's my understanding they were black as chicks because then hen was Extended Black (E), which is dominant over the rooster's Birchen (ER). In a few days, I'll...

    Gender?

    I believe I have a Columbian Rock chick and a Speckled Sussex Chick. I was wondering if anyone has a guess as to what sex they are? They are around 4-5 weeks old. Hope these pictures are good.

    What Breed of Chicken is this?

    After receiving the chicks we ordered in the mail, we noticed that we were given an extra chick and wanted to ask if anybody knew what breed it is. They are two weeks old. Any help is appreciated.

    I have a cat and am concerned about getting chicks, any tips on how to separate them?

    I have searched high and low for started pullets that can come at the times that I need (every link on 10 pages of google) but have come up empty handed. I would LOVE to raise chicks, but am concerned about getting them because of my cat. He has a reputation for giving lovely gifts of dead (or...

    Chick with Bumblefoot

    Hi, I recently got 5 silkie chicks and when I brought them home I was examining them for any health issues and noticed one of them has what seems to be Bumblefoot. Is it possible for young chicks to get Bumblefoot? If so do you know what I can do to help. I’ve so far tried to soak their foot in...

    Buff cockerel??

    Hey guys!! I realize I am jumping the gun on sexing as my guy is only about 2-3 weeks old. But...I am suspecting this fella is a cockerel! this is based on comparison with his suspected “pullet” sister’s appearance characteristics. She doesn’t have as pronounced comb and legs are much more...

    Baby chicks seem like they hate me

    Hello, I bought these chicks about four days ago. I know it takes time for animals to bond and I assume chicken bonding is probably different than your normal household pet. Anyhow, I’ve been watching video of people putting their hands near their chicks and the chicks will come out and eat...

    What kind of chick is this? Please help

    I got 3 americaunas, none look like an americauna, but this one looks way different than the others! Can someone please help me figure out what chick it is? I am so stumped. I’ve never seen on with markings like this on the face. It’s got eyeliner, zig-zags, and it’s super fluffy.
