Hello, I have one girl out of 9 that lays the most fragile, thin eggs now. She’s three in April. I have oyster shell out and give them back their egg shells crushed to supplement calcium. They have cracked as she’s laid, I’ve watched, or they crack when I try to pick them up. I’m afraid one...

I don’t have a rooster that I know of lol. One hasn’t laid yet and will be one in March. These are four different hens’ eggs… is that a bull eye??

Still kind of a newbie to chickens. I have one that’s 10 months old and hasn’t laid. I think she’s a she. I did hear a random cockle doodle doo one day but never again. Is this egg fertilized? It’s not the first time I’ve seen this but now…. Im curious?? Thank you!

My Dorothy is a 34 week old black Copper maran. She’s never laid. I have a total of 9 chickens, 4 of which are also 34 weeks and they’re all laying. Every chicken is a different breed. No roosters. They’re in a very large chicken pen, there’s not a secret egg stash, there’s plenty of nesting...

Back story, chicken stung in mouth by bark scorpion 21 hours ago, witnessed. Became lethargic and paralyzed. I am giving fluids/electrolytes via a syringe. She can now hold her head up some and move her wings. Legs are still splayed out but she’s beginning to move them. I have given Benadryl...

Please help. My sweet Sapphie ate a bark scorpion and got stung while eating it last night. We just happened to see it and it had its babies on its back. Within five minutes she was lethargic and within an hour couldn’t stand or hold her head up. We got some Benadryl in her and she made it...

Hello, My kiddos said they heard the beginnings of a cockle doodle do…. Miss Nugget is almost 15 weeks old… any thoughts?

I have a hen who is 22 weeks old. Not laying yet. She’s with my second batch of chickens I’ve had. All raised from chicks, held, hand fed, and our feather babies. For some reason, she is incredibly aggressive with me. All the others squat for pets and snuggles. She literally runs at me,neck...

Hello! Still learning chickens and my older girls didn’t do this. I’ve had a fairy egg from the older girls once in awhile (no yolks and small), but my sapphire gem just started laying one week ago!! Woohoo!! Her eggs are all small. She’s laid 6 out of 7 days. Still waiting on the other new...

She’s seven weeks old. Is it normal for an OE to have a Mohawk? I’ve never had this breed and still learning. She’s very small next to my 7 week old sapphire gem. Thank you!

3 week old chicks from Cal Ranch. Sapphire gem and Olive Egger. Second time raising chicks and we didn’t have these breeds before. Last year we ended up with a roo. Hoping not the case this year haha Thanks for the help!

Does anyone know what the chicks/chickens would look like between a golden sex link rooster and a barred rock hen?

My EE is 26 weeks old and started laying at 20 weeks. I have three hens (all the same age and came home together), EE, silvered laced Wyandotte and GSL. The GSL lays daily, SLW almost daily and the EE stopped laying 9 days ago. Everyone is healthy, eats drinks good. There is not a hidden nest...

Help. New to the chicken world. Got four chicks in April and one ended up being a rooster. I thought I can do this, even though I never wanted a rooster. He was cute, sweet and snuggly. Then he found his cockle doodle do and I thought ok no big deal, I got this. I don’t know what’s happened in...

Hello everyone! First time chicken owner. My girls are 13 weeks. I’m looking ahead to layer feed when appropriate. My neighbor brings eggs over but they are so fishy smelling and tasting we can’t stomach them 😬, especially the kids when they ask why the eggs smells like fish! While we do...

I’ve been battling against all different kinds of ants and I’m losing the fight, especially the fire ants!! I shovel the feed that falls almost daily and have recently changed to a pellet feed/new feeder which does help some. I see them all over the ground and don’t want my feather babies...

Cant tell by the poop. Anyone have any ideas? This was a few feet away from the chicken run. The chickens are in the shade under trees. this was on the gravel drive I have seen a fox before and coyote, but it’s been awhile. Live in a small town in the desert, but houses are coming up...

Hello, Advice please on getting rid of ants. It looks like there’s several different varieties (big and little and black and red) along the outside and inside of the chicken run. First time chicken owner and I don’t want the chickens getting hurt. I know they eat some, but I don’t want it to...

Hello! I’ve had our four chicks for a little over three weeks. An Easter Egger, Silver Laced Wyandotte and two golden sex links. We got them for eggs, but I’m quite positive one of the GSL is a roo 😬. I’ve become quite possibly a little obsessed over them... 🥰. I am enjoying this way more than...
