My 8mo old hen looks like this… I found her in the nesting box and took her out and saw that her belly is bare. She was not like this yesterday. The other girls are fine and her skin isn’t inflamed. Eating and drinking fine, behavior is normal. Is she broody? If so, what do I do? We have no...

Hi! I have 3 hens and 6 nesting boxes. My OE and EE fight over the same box. So far, the fighting has not caused injury but a LOT of screeching and horrible sounds for an hour or two every single day… I worry that my neighbors are going to be frustrated if they aren’t already. Has anyone...

Hi Everyone! This is a 7 week old barred rock chick. I was told is was a female but everything I have googled has indicated that this may be a male. Does anyone have any thoughts? Thank you so much in advance!

Hi! My 6 week old Easter egger chick has this growth on her skin just above her tail. It has two tiny feathers coming out of it. Does anyone know what this is? She is picking at it but I’m not sure if it’s something to be concerned about. Thank you! Kendra

Hi everyone! I have a 6 week old prairie bluebell chick who recently started balling up both of her feet when she is resting. She walks around the brooder box fine and is able to perch normally on my hand and the perch I put in the brooder box. No split legs, same size as the rest of my chicks...
