I asked about this one a few weeks ago but I'm still in doubt. It did make an effort at a crow sound once or twice...

I believe these are 6 weeks old today ish. Do you think these are both pullets?

I think one of them has been laying soft shelled eggs on and off as we were finding evidence in the box. One has been going downhill for a while, 5 years old. But I don't know that she has been trying to lay or not. We have 7 hens, no roosters. Found this today and scooped it out of the nesting...

One of our broody hens hatched 3 eggs a friend gave us. We cannot keep roosters where we live, and I am 99% sure this is a rooster! But, he is 12 weeks old and still hasn't crowed. We have had to get rid of some before that turned out to be roosters and they all started trying to crow by 9...

About 9 weeks old. Fuzzy zoomed in picture with bad coloring doesn't do justice to the beautiful colors and red tones on the wings. Please also confirm it's a "he". We know dad was a crested cream legbar. I don't know what mom was. Just wondered if it was possible to tell what breed mom was...

we noticed this on one of our hens beaks in my daughter says two of our other chickens also looked like they have the same thing. I haven't looked myself yet. They are all over 2 years old.

Hello! We recently had 2 broody hens, and we decided to give each hen some fertile eggs. We had one hen in her own run because she was an "outcast" and we gave her 4 eggs. And another hen in with a flock of 4 got 2 eggs. All of the eggs hatched the exact same day, and they are now 8 weeks old...

Hello! We have 6 3 week old chicks. The father was a Cream Crested Legbar, and the moms where various. I am wondering if the chicks are roosters or pullets Chick A mom was easter egger or americauna Chick B mom was light brahma Chick C mom was Leghorn Chick D mom was easter egger or...

We have 6 one year old chickens. They have plenty of space. One of them we took in when she was 12 weeks old last year, but they are all the same age. Anyway, they have all decided to gang up on that one this summer. We have separated her the past couple week, but her run is next to theirs, so...

2 of my new laying girls got into it yesterday evening. This one's ear is a little bruised and maybe has a little hematoma in there? Do I need to do anything for this or just leave it?

She has never made any sounds other than what all our other pullets make . Our 3 roosters were crowing by 9-10 weeks. About half of our 15-16 week old girls are beginning to get nice red combs and waddles.

Unfortunately, we cannot keep roosters here. :( We successfully rehomed our two that were already crowing. This one is the same age as the others, 10-11 weeks. Our for sure Australorp rooster developed his comb/waddle much earlier than this one and it has consistently been larger and redder. We...

Free in West Michigan Around 10 weeks old 2 Australorps and 1 Black Jersey Giant

We have a guy who is willing to trade us a 10-12 week old BJG hen for our 10-11 week old BJG little man. We have 2 australorp males who we are trying to rehome. We will be keeping our existing 2 production reds, 1 amberlink, 1 white rock, 1 black sexlink, 1 black jersey giant, and 1 silver laced...

We have two of these. 9 weeks old. Combs and waddles look the same. But within the last one or two weeks, this one, Sweetie Bird, has developed some brown speckled feathers and the feathers around her head and neck are off-white as compared to the rest of her. At first I just thought it was dirt...

I also have a question while I'm posting. :) Whenever our birds lay down they lay in a pile together, inside the run or inside the coop. At night when they go into their coop, they sit by the door or half hanging out of it in a pile...instead of going to their roosting bar. Is this normal? This...

I don't remember it looking like this before, but yesterday she climbed on my lap and I got a good look at it and it seems part of it is missing? No blood or evidence of a wound. So strange.

We are new to chickens. Our babies are 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 weeks old now. White rock, SLW, Production Red, Black Jersey Giant, Australorp, and Black Star. My husband made the door from the coop to the run so we can close it if we want. Sunday was the first day the babies were able to freely go from...

After the snow/ice storm we had this weekend, my daughter found 2 big and beautiful frozen dragon flies yesterday. Then, today as she was putting old chicken coop bedding out back, she found a frozen robin lying on the ground. We brought them all in, just if by some miracle, they could be...

It is just below freezing and about 40mph sustained winds today and tomorrow. They have also forecasted the possibility of up to 1/2" ice. If we should lose power, should we bring the chicky babies inside the house from their coop? They are almost 5 and 6 weeks old. I checked and just outside of...
