Just went through our first true freeze(s) of the year and I was checking out everybody and noticed something weird about my male Black Polish. He has some odd nare growth going on, plus some crusting and dry looking wattles. I’m guessing the wattles are from the cold af weather, but I’m at a...

I was up early this morning so I went to TS for a large waterer. Saw these guys in the bantam bin. Any clue what these guys could be?

…That turkeys are so comical (and mischievous)? Around a month ago I was gifted a single Black Spanish turkey and had zero clues about what it entailed. I know the forum says that turkeys learn by observation, but I had no clue how true that was. My chicks taught her how to drink while I taught...

I have 3 silkies that are 10 weeks old today and I was wondering if someone could tell their gender. This is Yeti who I’m sure is a rooster 😮‍💨 This is PeeWee-GusGus who I originally thought was a roo, but I’m wondering if they’re a pullet. These two photos are of Bigfoot (like their...

So my chick Squash started limping mildly two days ago and has steadily gotten worse. I originally thought it was a sprain, but now I’m very concerned it’s something way worse. Two days ago she could walk, although you could tell it was painful. I didn’t bring her in because she was able to...

Please make sure everyone responsible for the coop headcounts your chickens when checking on them. Someone accidentally forget to early in the storm, and we lost both of our 6 week old bantams.

I’ve got my older chicks outside in their run and I was wondering if some of them could be sexed. This is Pumpkin, one of the two Millie Fleur D’Uccles. (8wks) Pumpkin’s on the left, their BFF Squash (8 wks) on the right who did NOT want to be photographed, with Silverado (light Brahma...

Update: No real change yet, but I’m not really surprised considering the issues we’ve been having. I’ve tried mixing the E in minced egg, feeding it in a mash, giving it straight, mixing it with water, and mixing it with Nutridrench, but nothing is appealing apparently. Everyone else is having...

Went to get some chick food and saw these chicks in the assorted bantam bin with some beautiful silkies. Any idea what they could be?

This past Thursday my mom brought home a free chick from TS that has a twisted neck. I didn’t think that he’d survived the night cause he was in rough shape, but I plopped him in the brooder with my 6 day old silkies and made sure he could access food and water without drowning and had a place...

After losing a majority of the flock in November 2020 due to my late carnivorous dog breaking into the coop, I’ve finally decided to get some more chickens now that the only dog left is a 17 year old blind poodle. I‘m pretty sure the two reddish brown guys are D’uccles. I think the whites are...

So about 3 weeks ago I went to my local tractor supply and bought four chickens. He (?) was in the bantam bin and looks very different to my other chickens. Any clue what he could be?

My name’s Morgan and I’ve only had chickens for about a year now, but I wouldn’t trade them for anything. I’ve got 2 one year old black sex linked hens, and six three week old chickens of varying breeds (2 blue Plymouth rocks pullets, 2 silkies, a speckled sussex pullet, and one unknown bantam)...
