    With the high demand for chickens and major hatcheries nearly sold out, I recently went online to search for specific high-producing egg layers like ISA Browns, NovoGen, and other prolific breeds. Surprisingly, I found very few sources offering point-of-lay or already mature laying hens, e Even...

    Isa brown hen bred with barred rock rooster

    Does anyone know what chicks would look like from a barred rock rooster and isa brown hen? Or a barred rock rooster with an English jubilee Orpington hen? I’m learning to hatch my own eggs so am hatching from what I currently have.

    Hoping to save my hen💕

    Hi!:) I’m having trouble helping my 8 month ISA Brown hen Blanche! She’s had sour crop a few times in the past, but made good recovery and never showed more symptoms than the squishy/nasty smelling crop. The first sign of illness was her becoming uncoordinated and unable to hop up to the roost...

    Sexlink Hybrid question: ISA Brown hen x OE roo = Sexlink chicks?

    Does anyone have any first-hand experience crossing an ISA Brown hen with another non-sex-link rooster? We just had 2 eggs hatch that are ISA Brown hen x cream Olive Egger rooster. His mom was a BCM and dad was a Buff Ameraucana. The chicks, to my surprise, seem to follow the sexing images I...

    My 2-year-old ISA Brown, Nina, is sick. This is the third time she's been sick this spring, with symptoms flaring up every 4-6 weeks.

    Becky the Chicken… Pecking the Camera

    One of my favorite past times is to take photos of the goofy things my little flock does. Today after I got home from work, I needed some happiness and I spent sometime in their run. Enjoy this photo of her coming after my camera. 😂

    How to give my hens a break from laying?

    I got 3 isa brown from a crappy feed store. They probably have kidney problems. One looks super rough. At the store it was mostly in a dark but lit area kind of like the lightening in your garage. Pretty dim. Girls didn’t really lay when I got them. Now they are healthier and laying everyday...

    Chicken doesn’t like me

    Hey BYC, I’ve got a couple questions. I just had to swap my cockerel out for a pullet. She’s being quarantined. The problem is she, along with the rest of the chickens at the farm I got her at, don’t particularly like human touch. She looks to be about 9-10 weeks old, an ISA brown & leghorn mix...

    Cross Breeds

    I have 2 black copper Maran roosters in my flock and several different hen types. I recently had a successful hatch of 2 eggs from my coop one is very much a Maran the other I believe is a x with ISA brown. Opinions? Thoughts? How do I determine sex? Thanks!

    Are these Isa Browns or Rhode Island Reds?

    I got these from Tractor Supply. They were supposed to be Is a Browns. I'm not familiar with the breed. However, they look just like the Rhode Island Reds I used to have. Not sure if they are Is a or Reds.

    ISA Brown Hen Acting Sick, Quiet, and Losing Weight

    My 3-year-old ISA brown hen, Sandy, has not been acting herself in the past months. She is quiet, even more so than normally and even while around the other chickens. She is slow to move with the flock as they rotate around the yard, freeranging. She ruffles her feathers, sits in one spot, and...

    How soon do you notice roo behavior?

    Last week, I got 5 new baby chicks (Amberlink, ISA Brown, Maran, Easter Eggger, and Jersey Giant). The Jersey Giant was a straight run so I took the chance. A few years ago I got all pullets and still ended up with a roo. My question is how early do you notice roo behavior? I wouldn’t say his...
