My hen is 23-24 weeks she’s a BYM but she has a leg deformity I tried to fix but eventually it reverted back. She’s pretty small and has always been smaller than the other two that were hatched with her. One has been laying for a month and the other for 2 weeks. Is there any chance that she just...

Valkyrie our first chicken to lay has been laying for a couple weeks she surprised us by laying green eggs and it’s been so exciting, she even gave us a double yolk the other day. Finally Freyja laid her first egg today! Who knew I would be so happy about these tiny little eggs lol.

I started my chickens on layer feed about a week ago they are 20 and 17 weeks. That last few days I’ve noticed their poop looks very weird and I’m not sure what’s going on with them. It looks kinda reddish in the picture but in person it looks more orange. Their behavior all seems fine and I...

I ran out of starter/grower and went to Wilco to get food yesterday and I panicked at the store trying to decide what to get. I have one hen that just started laying this week and the other 5 should be laying within the next few weeks. I put oyster shell out for them on the side and I ended up...

I’m so excited I got my first egg but it’s green! I don’t know my chickens breeds, I think they are mixed. I was expecting light brown eggs from them. Any idea who the culprit is??

We got our very first egg today!! I’m confused who it came from because my BYM are 18 weeks today so I’ve been hoping for them to start laying and been seeing signs but expected a tan egg. My olive Eggers are only 15 weeks so I wouldn’t think it came from them even though it’s green. I’m so...

My 16 week old pullets seemed to have stopped growing (first three pics) I’m not sure of the breeds basically BYM. My two Oliver Eggers and BCM are 13 weeks and they surpassed them in size a few weeks ago. It’s wild to me how big they are getting so fast. Maybe the breeding was just better since...

I noticed my 13 week old BCMs comb looked a little funny today is this normal?

I have 3, 16 week BYM pullets and 3, 13 week pullets OE and BCM. I’m wondering how to tell if the older ones will start laying soon. Their faces have definitely gotten more red in the last couple days but they kinda stopped growing, the younger girls way surpassed them in size. I also wanted to...

I’m not sure if there’s anything to be done. My runt had splayed leg I thought I corrected when I got her at a week old. She’s always walked funny like I penguin and I thought it was just because she’s so small and her legs are so short she’s trying to keep up with the others but now I’m...

My pullets are about 2 and a half months old and I noticed one of them had lost some feathers out of her rear. She is the beta if not the alpha of the group. I went to do something in the run and there was a big pile of feathers ( a lot are definitely hers some are just black so it could be from...

So I originally had 5 chicks, gave away the two cockerels and arm left with three 2 month old pullets. I have integrated my 3 now 6 week old pullets. There is some pecking still but nothing crazy they are all roosting together at night. But in the run and when they free range they stay in two...

I have 2, 6 week OE pullets and I was just curious what they look like they are mixed with. Also wondering if my 6 week BCM looks like a pullet, she’s suppose to be but she’s so tall and lanky

I finally gave my two cockerels to a friend today that will give them a good life. I’m ready to integrate my 3, 9 week old pullets with my 3, 6 week old pullets. They are similar size and have been doing see but don’t touch for 2 weeks. I know I can expect pecking but I’m just wondering how much...

Came home from work this morning and heard something in the backyard, my husband was with me and we went back there. Our 9 week old chicken was crowing!! I had no idea that he would start crowing so early. I thought I had at least another month lol. Hopefully my friend is picking up my two...

I have to get rid of my cockerels and I have two that have been suspected for a long time but I want to be abundantly clear that they are roos before I part with them and make sure none of my other chicks are. I had a work friend tell me she didn’t think they were Roos. My BCM is also pinking up...

My first heat wave today with my babies I’m really nervous, I got a watermelon and I’m freezing a gallon of water for them to stand on. My backyard is heavily shaded until the evening. Should I bring my 5 week olds in the house when it gets too hot? I have my 8 week olds as well but I don’t have...

I know I post on this forum a lot but being brand new to chicken keeping just stresses me out and I’m always worrying I’m doing something wrong. I have 5, 8 week olds that have been out in the coop for almost 4 weeks and 3 5ish week old chicks. I’ve been doing see don’t touch for almost 2 weeks...

I got these 3 from Wilco 3 weeks ago and I figured they were a couple days old but I was wondering if they’re older than I thought pic of them when I got them and now

Does anyone know of anyway around not allowing roosters in city limits. I love all my chickens so much! I don’t want to have to get rid of my two suspected cockerels. 😢
