So I have gotten a nice amount of chick's from tractor supply in February. I have 2 that were to be plymouth rock hens. But they do not look the same AT ALL. One is barred nicely already have a nice big comb and wattles. The other... has a very almost nonexistent comb. And barely any wattle. But...

So at the moment i have one chicken. Long story but it wont be for long she will have a flock soon. But shes always been by herself (besides some ducks) and shes never had an issue with it. Shes spoiled rotten. Indoor outdoor hen. Little bantam girl. Anyways.... She is in fact a hen. She lays...

Hello! My hen just started laying a week ago. Shes a little bantam mutt. Her eggs have been fine (pretty tiny but all around yummy) we've gotten about 4 ao far. One every other day. I've noticed her poop has been super watery. Not always. But maybe 2 or 3 times a day. Like a lot of watery and...

I have a 21 week old chicken that I've hand raised. Did not hatch her..but got her at 4 days old. Her breed is a mystery. She came from a hen who escaped a fighting ring/breeder. Shoes kind of tiny compared to other hens. But she has begun to squat really well for me. Should I expect eggs soon...

I have a chicken who is about 5 months old. Shes healthy and happy. Haven't had any issues with her. She eats and drinks just fine. But a few minutes ago while i was admiring her she shook her head and a bunch of water/fluid of some sort came out. Never seen that happen. And then she pooped this...

This is my 5 week chick. No idea the breed. Since it's cold we've kept her inside. She is my only chick but I have 3 hens. I think it's easy to say we've spoiled her. This is her hanging on out on my bed.

This little one is 4 weeks old. No clue of breed. I couldn't even tell you what color egg it hatched from. It was given to me when it was a few days old. The people just had a random hen lay a bunch of eggs in their shed. Never caught a picture of her for reference. Maybe you eggsperts could help?

This is a mystery chick. I only have one. No idea of parents. It's a few days over 3 weeks. Thank you!! 😁

I have a chick who is a few days over 3 weeks old. It seems happy and healthy. Eats. Plays Chirps. Drinks. But it has a tendency to just...fall over on its side. Not fast. It's very slow motion just kind of tilts over like it's going to sleep. But after a few it springs back up to whatever it...

I recently became a mother hen to who is now about to be a 3 week baby chick. The person I got it from has absolutely no idea the breed. No clue the mother or father. How and when would I be able to determine the breed of this lil guy? We dont know it's a roo...just kinda hope. Lol

Hello goodmorning! I am making French toast this morning and when I cracked one of the eggs it's got about 6 of these dark spots. I do not have roosters. Can we eat it?

I just wanted to show off a little... My leghorn who has been laying for about a month now laid this MASSIVE egg yesterday. So we cracked it open today to find two yolks in it too! Here is a photo of her giant compared to my rhode island red. And then this other photo is her eggs all leading up...

My Leghorn started laying about a week ago. We've gotten about 6 eggs from her which is awesome. It such an amazing feeling to go get your fresh egg! Still waiting my other two hens to start laying. Soon I hope! Anyways.. I know leghorns don't give GIANT eggs. But i was wondering if it's normal...

So on thursday my hen who had laid her very first egg the day prior got attacked by our dog :( But she seems to be doing just fine! Her shock lasted maybe 2 hours. And her wounds are actually healing nicely. (Some of you may have helped me in my earlier post about it all when it happened.) Well...

I'm really hoping someone can offer some advice and sooner then later. My leghorn hen JUST laid her first egg yesterday for is. Today one of our dogs managed to get into the chicken yard and attacked her. I have discovered how she got in and everything is being fixed and dog proof. Hen appears...

My 9 month old silkier rooster i noticed yesterday was a little raspy when he breathed. Not loud. I could only hear it because i was in his face. I live in San Antonio TX and our weather is all crazy. Hot cold, dry then wet. So its about 58 and wet outside and i have brought him inside to get...

Hello, so i own 2 silkie roosters (I'm sure they might be slightly mixed with something along the lines but im not 100% on that) Well this morning i heard the roo that is not head roo, but he does still crow sometimes, making HONKING sounds. I was so concerned i had to check to make sure it was...

Back in April i got two silkie chicks about 6 weeks old. The person i got them from was unsure if the sex (as is almost everyone with a silkie chick) so about a 2 months ago i realized it is indeed BOTH of them crowing out there all day long But i really want at least 1 hen. Now i know it...
