I have six 10 week old chicks and one is possibly showing signs of coccidiosis but would like other opinions. The pullet in question usually is a bit stand offish- just her personality. Two days ago I noticed she seemed a little "off" but I couldn't quite place it. I also thought I noticed a bit...

Hey y'all so I need a bit of advice as I've not encountered this particular situation before. We have one rooster (Hank) and our head hen Blueberry are fighting. Blueberry has made a nest with 16 eggs, she not sitting yet though but does turn and rearrange her eggs regularly. The past few days...

Gotcha! Thank you so much! He is rumpless and does have very prominent muffs, just couldn't get a good picture

Thank you! Can I ask how you're able to tell? Love my EE ladies but haven't had a roo before. Are there certain markings or features that make them obvious? Sorry if that's a dumb question- still learning!

Hey y'all! I believe this guy is a little rooster. We were told he is a salmon faverolle mix (mom was the SF). When we first got him a few weeks ago he was so skittish and terrified of people that it worried me, he also wasn't in great shape and had several bald spots like it was being bullied...

She hasn't ever squatted for me before or if she has I haven't noticed. Definitely okay with us if she never lays, she's my daughter's little hen so she's here to stay either way! Really just wanting to make sure there wasn't something seriously wrong with her that I'm overlooking or missing...

I just found a little hole where she can get under our porch, going to have my husband climb under and see if there's a nest under there and if not going to patch that up.

I didn't think about late bloomer and then winter. That could have happened, we're in Florida. Thanks for this! I'm definitely going around looking again for a hidden nest, hopefully my Easter egg hunt will be successful lol. My neighbor did just inform me a few minutes ago that he killed a...

Thank you for the ideas! I've searched for a nest but I know they can be really sneaky so maybe I haven't found it? I'll have to go searching around again. I've tried to get my hen out of the nest box but gave up after a while. She's 8 now and her age is starting to show so I've just let her...

Hey y'all! I have an EE that just turned a year old. She's never laid an egg and I'm baffled. Is she broken??? Haha I'm kidding but seriously, any ideas why? All of our other ladies lay almost every day. She's also super tiny compared to everyone else and would much rather be in the house or...

Hey y'all! Just curious if there's a way to sex polish chicks? I've heard the puffs on their heads but not sure I trust that but I've never tried before. I'm not very concerned either way as this is just fun guessing for me until they lay or crow. First two pics are #1, next two pics are #2, #3...

Hey yall! So I've only ever had one barred rock years ago and he was the coolest roo. A few months back we got a few chicks, one of which is a barred rock. She is really sweet but I've never seen barred rocks get these solid black (completely irredescent) feathers popping up everywhere. In the...

Still can't tell yet and me being me, I'm impatient so looking for opinions again 😊 If this is a pullet she's definitely pulling a fast one on me, haha. What are y'alls thoughts??

@Tookie I tried getting a better picture of her comb.... looking at these pics I'm thinking pullet but I'll be happy either way.

Gotcha, thank you! Honestly in all the years of having chickens this is the first pea comb I've ever had so I definitely don't know what I'm looking at or for as far as the comb goes. 😊

They do look quite a bit alike!! Mine is a month old as well :) I'll try to get a better picture of the comb. what threw me off with mine is it looks like there are 3 little rows instead of just the one. You have a beautiful chick! We'll have to share pics as they grow!

Thank you!! :D Can't believe I never knew this site existed

Okay thanks, I'm thinking it's probably a cockerel as well. If it is we'll be keeping him regardless. Trying to break that habit of getting up on my shoulder, he just immediately goes to flying up on anything it can to get up on my shoulder. It's the weirdest little chick I swear, if it can't...

Hey yall! I'm new here but not new to chickens. This one chick however has me confused. I've never had a black and white EE with this kind of patterning and colors. His/her comb looks like a pullet to me but I can't tell with them still being this young. It looks like a reddish mahogany color...
