I have 30 chickens. I think they might have tapeworms. I'm familiar with tapeworms in cats and dogs and that is what I *think* I'm seeing. This may seem like an odd time for tapeworms, but we've been very warm overall here. Insects abound. I have read several threads here. (Thank you to...

Is this a silver spangled Hamburg? She is very cute and fluffy. I ordered one, along with a Speckled Sussex, 2 EE, and 2 Green Queen from MPC. (One of the Green Queens died at 4 days and I suspect the other one is male. One of the EE died at 2 weeks. I’ve never had such a difficult time with...

I'm in a situation (that I never want to be in again). I've had six broody hens this year. Normally I'll either let broodies set on our eggs OR purchase chicks for them and slip them under the hens at night. But, I've never had this many. Part of the problem is that I let the first broodies go...

A healthy chick that hatched in our coop (the only one that hatched) has a horrible injury. It seems like his/her leg got caught and cut somehow. the cut is where the leg meets the body. Poor little thing is walking and limping and peeping. I tried to give it some cooked egg and it's not...

My 6 new chicks arrived today. One of them seems to possibly have spraddle leg...but, if so, it's very mild. I tried to use the bandaid method but got it on crooked. So, had to take it off which was very traumatic. It pulled her fluff horribly and some of it is still stuck to her leg. In the 3...

5 week old chicks. Do these look like Dark Cornish? Perhaps one cockerel and one pullet?

I purchased these 2 last night to slip under a broody hen. She is very pleased with them so it doesn’t really matter what they are. Momma Hen is happy. however, I am curious. The man who oversees the chick area at the store said they are Easter Eggers.They were in a mixed bin. But as I was about...

What do Dark Cornish pullets/cockerels look like at 10 weeks? I can't find any pics online of them at this age. Please post any pics you might have IF you have them. Thank you. (I picked up a couple of bantam babies at Atwoods to give to a broody hen. Thought I was picking up 2 EE's, but one is...

Any idea on gender?

Three mixed chicks. Dad is a red sex-link mix and their mothers are probably my two black sex-link hens. Boys or girls or too soon to know? I’m going to try to do this from my phone in an organized way. Okay...I don’t think this is working, so the first 4 pics are Chick #1. The middle 4 pics...

He hatched from a Buff Minorca egg. His father is a mutt. (Mother red sex link, father Red sex link or another red rooster that my neighbor doesn’t remember the breed.) This little fella IS a fella, right?

The story on these two... I had five broody hens and placed eggs under them. We have a rooster so have fertile eggs. One hen got in on the broody train late. Three hens hatched eggs. Two did not (including the latecomer who was given 2 eggs from the other broodies). After a few days, we picked...

Hi. Chickens came into my life in spring 2015. I started with four (five actually, but one died at a week old) and now have 13 hens, 1 rooster and 8 chicks (approx. 6 weeks old). Of my four originals (other than the week old chick who died), two are still living. One had issues shortly after...
