We have a tiny flock of 3 (they are all just over a year old) and one of them is laying soft shell eggs, on and off for about a month now. No other symptoms of illness that I can detect- poop seems fine, no respiratory distress aside from the occasional sneeze usually when dust bathing- which...

We have a solo 7 month old hen and she's been on her own about 3 weeks now. I found a couple hens locally, one is a 9 month old marans mix and the other is an 11 month old speckled Sussex. I am picking them up on Friday and would love all your tips for how to handle the new additions. I have...

We are heartbroken for our one lone hen Jessy- she is only 7 months old, has been laying since September and is about to enter winter all alone! The timing isn't great for us to get tiny baby chicks, and she is a large floof of a chicken so I think adding pullets that are coop- ready but way...

**WARNING POOP PICS** Hi our 6.5 month old Lav Orp isn't acting like herself today- she's standing hunched during free range time and not eating like normal. I brough over half a zucchini and some black oil sun flower seeds for a treat and she did eat some but not the usual appetite. She's...

This is Jessy- 14 weeks old. We purchased day-olds at a local feed store and the crate was labeled "blue sex link bantam" and we are very curious to find out more from folks who know! What kind of chicken is this? Is it a sex link? Def a hen? Thoughts?? We're stumped! (first time chicken owners...

This is our first time having chickens and we are really hoping they are all gals because we aren't allowed to keep roos...our other 2 are a black australorp and blue sexlink so we don't have other orpingtons to look at side by side...this chick's tail is SO much bigger/longer than the other two...

Hi! We are brand new to chickens and would love to know your favorite and must-own books for chicken people. I've seen a few recommended but failed to save the titles!

Ok- so every morning I clean the shavings in the coop and get all the poop out of there. But what about the run? Ours is built on dirt in the back corner of the yard (roofed with hardware mesh, but no floor other than the ground)- what's the best way to clean it and how often? Thank you!!

We just moved our nearly 7 week old chicks out to their coop and I wasn't sure if I am still supposed to put their food and water in there overnight or no? Do they always need access to food and water 24/7? Just the water? Total newbie and appreciate your help! Thank you!

This is Penelope Featherington and my kids are super worried about her giant tail! This is our first time with chicks and our other two are a blue sexlink and a black australorp so we don't have other orpingtons to compare to side by side. What do you guys think? Too early to tell? Hen? Roo?

Is it ok to remove the heater all together at this point?? Our chicks are about 5 weeks old and they are still in a brooder in the garage (the coop is almost finished and we are planning to move them in next weekend!) we have a heat plate that you can raise the level on and it's been on the...

We have 3 chicks about 4 weeks old and this is our first time with chicks so the poop is still freaking me out every time it changes. They all poop solid poops with the white cap most of the time, but they also all poop yellow/mushy/foamy/stinky poops daily too. (photo) I feel like I'm gonna be...
