I’ve made a post about this chicken pretty recently regarding a patch of missing feathers over her crop. At first, I didn’t really think much was really wrong, maybe just some feather picking. It’s over her crop, as I said earlier, so a lump isn’t really that concerning. I’ve begun to monitor...

This is Jelly. She has scoliosis, so she isn’t shaped quite right, and I’m wondering if this might be part of my issue. She is missing feathers on the right side of her breast, but doesn’t appear to be missing any feather on her back. I was just wondering if it’s possible that my rooster might...

This is Bean. Bean is my first rooster, so I’m not really sure what they are like developmentally. I’m just a bit concerned by how he is shaped. He is also extremely heavy compared to all of my other chickens. I know his dad is very big, so I understand that he may just be a very large...

We like to play the guessing game with our pullets, so we are wondering what color of egg this Easter Egger here will lay. This is Peanutbutter, she’s about sixteen weeks old, and I’ve read that sometimes leg colour and earlobe colour can give us a clue. I don’t have any good pictures of her...

So, I just hatched five little babies from my laying hens, and I am curious about the genders. I know pictures probably won’t be super helpful, given that the oldest one isn’t even two days old, but I checked their wings. I’ve read that if there are two distinct feather lengths, it’s a pullet...

This is Toast. She is one of my seven egg hens, one of the five that aren’t yet laying. We just lost two of our big girls to a dog attack, but she never ceases to make us laugh! It’s been hard, and while these pictures are about two-three weeks old, looking at them still makes me feel better, so...

Hello, I am looking for some guidance here. Two of my chickens went missing last night, and one came home injured. I don’t really have much hope for the other ones coming back, just because the injured one already did. The wound isn’t that deep, and has completely stopped bleeding. We are...

The babies have finally been moved outside! We actually moved them outside a couple days ago, but they are starting to make themselves at home. They absolutely love their roosting bar above their ramp ❤️ They have adapted well so far, and are all enjoying their time outside. Just thought I would...

Hello! I just moved my five babies, about five weeks old, outside. When I went out to check on them this morning, I found a few concerning droppings. Is this coccidiosis, or are my babies just shedding their intestine lining? It looks like blood and not tissue to me, but I’m not sure. The two...

Hello! Some of you may have seen these guys already, but I feel the need to share them wherever I can. They are just too cute not to! First, we have our first four babies. They were so little! The first pictures were about 5-6 months ago, when our laying hens were tiny. We got them when they...

Hello! I am pretty sure that my little chickie that I was hoping was a rooster is a pullet, so I am looking for some options to look into! I’m looking for a friendly breed, one that will be friendly with both me and my hens, to add to my flock! We have been looking into Rhode Island Reds, but I...

Hello! I am a relatively new chicken owner, but I have done a lot of research! I have four fully mature laying hens, about six months old, and five new babies that are about four-five weeks old that are moving outside soon! I can’t wait to share my feathered friends with you all (:

We have been told that this little one is a golden laced Wyandotte, and we are curious about its gender. Based on my experience, she looks like a dominant hen, but she has some very rooster-ish tendencies. She walks very upright with her tail raised (her tail feathers also started coming in...
