Hi everyone, My first batch of chicks hatched for this year! 😍 they are barnyard mixes from our Light Brahma rooster and Silver Laced Wyandotte rooster. The hens are an Easter egger, Brahmas, Orpington, and a Black Star. Y’all have been right on my last batch so I’d love to hear your thoughts...

How old do your hens really get? I have a mixed group of chickens (roosters, hens, and young ones) free roaming. At night they are locked into the coop and as soon as the sun is about to come up the automatic doors open and they are off. The reason I’m asking: I get VERY attached to every...

Hi chicken friends, We noticed a few weeks back that a skinny brownish-grey chicken was living all by herself in the forrest behind our house. We called her (her?) Forrest. She was incredibly skittish and would not get close enough to get a good look. After weeks of treats, and our chickens...

Hi everyone, I hatched out 2 eggs from my own flock (white Brahma) and bought 5 more chicks (“Blue” Laced Wyandottes) from the feed store. None of the birds were sexed. They are 7.5 weeks old today and I’m starting to think I got mainly roosters. 😅 I get very attached (so does my husband) so if...

Hi all :) I just had a chicken (didn’t see who) produce a very weird looking poop! It doesn’t really look like blood to me but that’s the first time I’ve seen a poop like this 🤔 Have any of you seen a poop like this and if so should I be concerned? 🐥 Thank you!

The ill chicken is an approximately 7 month old Buff Orpington hen. Her and the rest of the flock mates poop has been tested for parasites by the vet. No worms, protozoans etc. The vet did find traces of unbudding candida. That made sense since I initially thought she had vent fleet and treated...

Hi chicken friends, Please join me on this little adventure! I got 6 blue laced red Wyandotte chicks as friends to my 2 self hatched (probably Brahma) chicks. I bought them from the feed store as straight run Blue Laced Red Wyandottes. Looking at these little guys they all seem to be lacking...

I have a little mystery hatch: I just successfully hatched our first chicks from our own eggs. How exciting! :D The possible mothers are Brahma hens (light and buff) and the possible fathers are either a Silver laced Wyandotte or a light Brahma rooster. Is there any way to guesstimate if they...

Hi there! My grandma bred chickens (mostly Brahma and Wyandotte) when I was a kid. That’s how I fell in love with them little feather dusters. I moved from Europe to the US and now I have the space for backyard chickens! I currently have 1 Brahma rooster, 1 Wyandotte rooster, 3 Brahma hens, 6...
