I think Twister (light orange barn mix) maybe broke her wing. No screaming when I tried to stretch it out, but it looks really loose and limp.

Hey, I crossed a white hen who I didn’t think was barred with a Plymouth Barred Rock. The product was the yellow chick, and it has black markings. Is the yellow chick male or female?

Hey guys, a while back I posted about my hybrid chickens. Well, I was talking to my aunt (the egg supplier for my oldest hatch ) and I finally found out what the black ones are! The black and orange chickens with feathers on their feet are from a Midnight Maran hen, and this one with no toe...

Saw this guy snooping around my garage today! He’s got a messed up back leg, so I had my mom put some antibiotics on it, and I’ve got him in a bin in the garage to get better. We named him Pedro. I think Alvin would be more fitting, but I’m a bird person, not a chipmunk naming person.

Hey, Foxglove, one of my older chicks, got out last night and no one could find him. Now he’s back, he just stands still with his eyes closed. I think he’s got diarrhea too. Any ideas?

A relative of mine got my aunt 3 ducks…….. without asking her…….. she didn’t want waterfowl for her birthday. I guess I’ve got a reputation as a bird collector, but I’ve never raised ducks before! Should I feed them chicken food or gamebird food?

One of my hens keeps looking at the sky and opening her mouth. Can’t find any information. Ideas?

I am going to be hatching some Japanese (coturnix) quail, and I need to know what is the minimum amount of protein they need in their diet? My mom said she would buy quail food, but now she is saying she will give them chicken food instead. She says she will only buy quail food if I can get it...

Guess who just bought 24 eggs?

Was not sure what kind of egg this is. Could it be Guinea, or is it just a weird hen egg?

Soooooooo……. One of my chicks drowned in the feeder? Like, not the water, the feeder. I wasn’t there, and I don’t know what happened, I just got a call from my mom. Is that common? Has this happened to anyone else?

Howdy. I am in Ohio, and we just had heavy wind/ thunderstorms, and I can’t find my Guinea Fowl. I know she weathered the storm, because I saw her later that day. But now I can’t find her, and even when I looked in neighboring property and deep in the woods, all I found out of the ordinary were...

Hey, does anyone have a good story or a random joke? I really just want an excuse to post that lol

Hey guys, what do you think of the three Rhode Island Red in this picture? I’m thinking two are male, because of the color, but I don’t know.

So this should be day five or six, a lot of my eggs look blank or dead. Should I get rid of the eggs?

I saw a thread recently looking for pictures of hybrid birds. I can’t find it, but I finally have pics of my hybrids, I have nine hiding behind that water, incase you don’t see them. The one I took individual pictures of is the less quick of the two Brahma / Plymouth Barred Rock crosses. It has...

Hey guys, I am trying to incubate frozen egg. I know it’s probably not going to work, but yolo. Is that what is making the humidity shoot up?? If so I can replace them.

Hey, so I didn’t see Thomas come into my room when I was moving chicks from the incubator to the brooder, and he got one of my hatchlings. Is there any way to discourage this behavior? He doesn’t go after my older birds, and is practically the worst barn cat ever, I’m not sure what got into him...

Half the birds I got from Rural King are dieing, they cannot walk and are tilting their head back oddly. Is this marek? What do I do?

Day nine hatching eggs, finally got a good candle light! It seems like i’ve got seven almost birds, this is the egg with the clearest veins!
