This is my first time keeping silkies - I only got one white one so I had my fingers crossed that it would end up a pullet, but I think it's showing male traits. Cockerel? Let me know what you think!

Hi guys - I recently purchased an Omlet coop door so I wouldn't have to worry about opening the door in the morning. Ive been infrequently having issues with the door, where it only closes partially, and displays an error reading, "wiring fault." I contacted the company and requested a...

Hi guys - I have this bird that was sold to me as a black jersey giant pullet at ~6 weeks old. Its somewhere in the range of 5-6months old at this point. I know she's not pure jersey as she has the wrong comb type; but im not really concerned about breed. All along I was pretty sure she was a...

hi guys - ive got a 5-6wk old olive egger that is losing feathers on the front of its neck. It looks like they're being picked out. This chick is currently being housed with 3 other 5-6wk old chicks; they've been together since hatching day, straight from the incubator. I noticed yesterday that...

Hi guys - I have a few barnyard mix and a couple birds from a feed supply that I would like to get some insight on. The older ones I think are pretty obvious - just looking for some reassurance, the other three, I don't really know. #1; ~5-6wks old barnyard mix, possible frizzle dad and barred...

Hey everyone - a friend has 3 "seramas" that he is thinking of getting rid of and I may take them. The reason I am putting quotes around the name is because they seem too big to be seramas. I had him weigh them for me and they weight 1.14lbs, 1.24lbs, and 1.28lbs each. I was always under the...

Hi guys - I have a hen who has been acting very out of character for about 48-72 hours. The first day I noticed that she was "sleeping standing up" in a bush - thought it was funny but didn't think much of it. Day 2 (yesterday) we had heavy rain ALL day, so I didn't spend much time outside...

just noticed this small scab on one of my girls today - a tiny little thing - didn't notice anything anywhere else or on any of the other birds. Could it just be a scab? I will definitely keep an eye on her - should I seperate?

hey guys - we noticed about 4-5 days ago that one of our seramas had a little bump right by her eye. We'd never seen anything like it before and it didn't seem to bother her so we thought maybe it was a mosquito bite or something. Here we are 4-5 days later and I notice it's gotten much worse...

I've got 5 birds at approximately 9 weeks that were supposed to be female. The jersey giant had very early comh development but doesn't seem to be showing other signs of being male. The rest seem pretty hen-y. The seller said that if I end up with a male - I can bring it back in exchange for a...

A little background - this girl was sold to me as a Minorca pullet around 5-6 mos. of age (about a month ago). Nearing laying age. When i look up photos of minorcas, I don't exactly see the resemblance. Her ear is kind of white... but not obviously. Her face just started to color up this week...

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Chick 1 is an ~6week old Rhode Island Red, seems small then my other two but she is a different breed after all, and may be a bit younger Chick 2 is an ~6 week old Plymouth Rock, and she...
