This is a 1 year old BB Red hen. She lives with several other BB Red roosters and hens, plus one disabled full sized hen and a mixed half sized rooster. I just noticed this yesterday; is it prolapsed vent? I don’t think the other birds have noticed it and they’re not pecking at her. Otherwise...

I've had hens go broody before, but they've never been successful. This time, she looks like she's going to do it! Can anyone give me tips about caring for chicks the hen hatched?

Mine is black! My very first chicken was black. I've got a black EE named Darkthing.

My birds are just finishing up their molt, and they're not laying any eggs at all. Usually I'll get a few every day, even during the winter, as I have 20-30 laying hens. The ducks aren't laying either. The guinea birds may be laying behind a coop. They're also eating about twice as much as...

Friday, I found my young hen with her head stuck in the fence on the outside. She had a huge cut on her side, maybe three inches of skin missing and muscle with a large cut in it. Her head was swollen, too. For the first few hours she slept and didn’t raise her head. I washed out her cut with...

One of my young pullett mixes layed this today:

This is my Buff Leeli’s foot. What’s wrong with it? The other looks fine. I put petroleum gel on both a few days ago.

Today I noticed that my six month old small mixed breed hen, Nugget, was limping heavily and not putting weight on her left leg. I caught her, felt her leg and it’s not broken, there might be a torn muscle. Should I wrap her up, or keep her inside? I have VetWrap and gauze. I don’t know how this...

I've read that a single gosling, if raised with chicks or ducklings, will keep them safe and attack predators. Has anyone near northeastern Kansas hatched geese recently? I'd like a gosling.

This is a different kind of take a guess. Guess the first name of the person above you. You don’t have to say if they got it right. Please give a reason for your guess, it could be anything. Have fun!!!

My Brown-and-White-Leghorn-Red-Sex-Link-Buff-Orpington-Rhode-Island-Red-Iowa-Blue-Easter-Eggers are hatching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here’s to hoping they’re girls!!! Name suggestions?

Some of you may remember my I took my chicken to school post; these are the chicks the school hatched! Unfortunately, 5/6 of them are roosters. Flanagan, Aragorn, Boromir, Watson, and Sherrington are the boys, but I have one girl, Cressida. What do you do with your baby roosters when you have...

It’s wet today in Kansas so I thought I’d post some wet chicken pics! This is Goldie the Golden Eagle The Third and Fourth (Long story) Eggatha and Blaze the EE are going to bed early. Got some blue eggs today! Here’s a Brown Leghorn laying in my girls’ favorite box (yes, it has curtains)...

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about worming birds. I’ve never done this, and never had a problem. Why and how would you do that?

So, last week I picked my fluffy Buff, Leeli (her nickname’s Fluffy Shriek-Shriek), and something about the way I picked her up made it look to Ducky, my Iowa Blue mix, that Leeli was challenging her. Ducky put all her neck feathers up, charged, and jumped in the air with her claws out. All the...

Mine used to say Chirping but now it says Songster. I’ve seen people with what looked like custom ones, but I’ve never figured out how to change it. I tried the update status thing but I’m not sure what happened to that. Thanks in advance!

I’ve a black and gold hen that’s kind of small. I know what breed she is. Take a guess and I’ll like the right one!

The other day I saw two of these little guys:(three week old mixed breeds) jumping at each other with their feathers sticking up and their claws out. I think it was the white one in the front and the brown one on the far left. Are they supposed to do that at their age? Also, are they all boys?
