Salutations! I bought six chicks at a hatchery/barn and they are now almost 6 weeks old. We were supposed to get 3 Crested Cream Legbars and 3 Easter Eggers, all female. However, I am now having trouble identifying both breed and gender. I believe #1, #2, and #4 are Legbars and the others are...

Hey, unfortunately I’m back in this section again. I have a hen with a few weird symptoms. I have done some research and can’t seem to connect them. 1) Columbian Wyandotte, 3.5-4 years old. She seems a normal weight— has always been chunky. 2) She is sometimes, not all the time...

Hello! I wanted to make sure I am using the correct method to deworm my chickens. One of our birds sadly passed away on Saturday due to worms. We think it was cecal or capillary worms, possibly gapeworms but we didn't think so. There were small, short (1cm?), rounded, light-colored worms...

Hiyo. I'm a little worried about my hen right now - she keeps making a worried trilling noise and vigorously puffing herself up and shaking herself. Sometimes she flaps her wings as well, and then rushes to catch up to the other hens. She's female, 1 1/2 years old, Blue Laced Red Wyandotte...

:frowHi there, My gorgeous hen Rocky has some black and whitish spots on her comb. I thought it was dirt at first, but I tried to wipe it off with my finger and it seems like it's stuck on there. I also checked out some other articles like this, and they said it might be pecking scabs, but I'm...

Hello there! It's just past the latest heat wave of the summer for us in Seattle, and I decided I'd like to perform a chicken check-up on my 5 hens to make sure they're all doing well and good! I would love y'all fellow chicken keepers to help too by offering suggestions, treatments, and such...

Hi there fellow chicken keepers! I'm hoping to raise some chicks soon, and I have only 1 available mother: a Silkie Bantam. I've seen her incubate a clutch of 3 of her own eggs without my help, but I've also had her foster 4 chicks. Does anyone know what the limit is to the number of chicks she...

Hi! I'm wondering about local rooster laws. I live in Seattle. I looked up the law about roosters and it just said "roosters are not permitted." Then I looked up why and it basically said, "Cause they make so much noise." But what if I give away a 6-8 week old rooster and it hasn't started...

Hi, I've got four chicks being raised by a Silkie. They seem to be attached to her and will cry out if they're not with her. We are going to sell 2 of them to a fellow chicken keeper. All of their housing needs are provided, but I was wondering if they need some kind of emotional support since...

Hi, just wondering about some tiredness from my four 6 week old chicks. They live in a 2.5' x 2.5' x 2.5' brooder and have pine shavings. We recently ran out of starter feed so the lady at the store said we could blend up some grower feed and that would work. They seem to actually be eating a...

Our beautiful 41/2-year-old Ameraucana, Louise, died last night or early in the morning. I do not know what time. She was healthy and acting normal, grazing and eating and drinking just fine. She was hanging out with the other chickens, too. I came into the coop this morning and found her dead...

Hi, I just performed "chicken doctor" on my chickens. They all show signs of little bumps and crust on their legs, but they all have the same thing, and they've looked like this for all of the time I've seen their legs. So do they have scaly leg mite? And how do I treat it?

1. I first got chickens about 3 years ago. I've been researching and studying them since. 2/3. I have 4 chickens right now- an Ameracauna, 2 Silkie Bantams, and a Colombian Wyandotte. 4. My favorite aspect of raising chickens are that you can always learn something new from books, websites like...
