I’m a little concerned for them because the two oldest both should be laying colorful eggs one is a prairie blue egger and the other one should be an Easter Egger also you can’t tell in the photo but they are kind of small. I mean I am still feeding them baby food because the other chickens are a couple weeks younger so they probably aren’t getting the right nutrition To produce eggs at the size that the eggs should be (at least I’m pretty sure eating baby food because I didn’t buy the food last time we went to the store) also I need a way that I can convince them to lay in the egg box instead of just laying in the roost

Also, I just realized that my Orpington looks like she is about to cry in that photo. I promise she is fine.

I bought sexed chicks at tractor supply, and this is one of my hens? Listed of Plymouth barred rocks, this one was clearly a week or more older than the others when I bought them, they’re supposedly about 12 weeks, and this one looks different in all the “wrong ways” for laying backyard chickens. Is it possible this is actually a female, or no way?

Hello, I got a chicken like two weeks ago and I love it, it is probably about four weeks old, and I love to play with it. I was carrying it outside and I dropped it on accident, and I immediately noticed a lump on its chest. It’s acting normal. But I’m so scared, Is something broken? is it serious? What do I need to do. the lump is only on one side.

Please help 🙁 9-10 weeks old

got him from a friend a couple months ago and they didnt know what he was either

So I got these deathlayers when they were 3 days old on April 21st. I read they start laying 18-22wks old… well my bigger of the 2 pures has a nearly fully matured voice, reddening comb and just laid her first 2 eggs. Yakul(the bigger of the 2) I have spotted in the nesting box lately, I figured she wanted to start practicing early so I thought nothing of it. Well I guess I was wrong, two white quail sized eggs were there after I checked 2 days later. I do have a white layer and she is a bantam but she lays much bigger than this and she lays in the woods somewhere. Did I just luck out on their genetics?

Just letting my birds out in the morning and i see this thing….

What on earth is that? 🤣🤣 (UK)

Found this guy/girl in a Walmart parking lot. Running around in 98 degree weather. Eye was closed at first. Took it home and gave water and bird seed. I have a bearded dragon so I gave it some meal worms and it gobbled them up. It is SUPER food motivated. Question mark? I have no education about chickens and now I have one. Eye goes from being shut for hours then opens it for a couple . Then repeat. First picture shows bad eye. Second is good eye.

Mostly reclaimed or scrap wood build for my mini chickens Crispy and Crunchy

Yellow bubbles in freshly butchered old chicken. I saw that before but never so much, is it just fat deposits?

Can I ask for your opinion. Is this a hen or a rooster?

Chicken is around 9 Weeks old.

Hard to find information on the brand. I'm seeing perdu bought them? Shame. Wondering if they still are using same practices just need some cash.

This is the second time she's done this. Third double yoker we've gotten from her. Literally yuge

Does anyone use Muscovy ducks to keep their chickens safe?

Yup
