    Fibro frizzle gender?

    Hey all. I just got 2 frizzle fibro Easter Eggers and I'm wondering how to sex them. The farm we got them from say "First generation should get their fibro from their dad given to female offspring only" so they think they are female and didn't sex them. Is that true? We have always had...

    Homeschool Hatch-Along (2/23 hatch)

    Hello everyone! We are a homeschooling family that adopted 4 chickens (2 buffs, 1 sex link, 1 rhode island red) about a year ago. Things didn’t go very well with those 4 hens - one died from mites we thought we had taken care of, the red was re-homed because she was bullying the other smaller...

  3. Red Spot on Chicken Foot — Not limping

    Should this be a warning sign to something? I have a 4 year old Easter Egger that has these red spots on the bottom of a couple of her toes. Is this the beginning of bumblefoot or something else? Should I treat it or leave it and see if it works itself out? About 5 months ago we had to put...

  4. Canker Treatment: Metronidazole 20% powder and Tube Feeding with Kaytee Exact. Am I doing this right?

    My previous post. To preface, I'm not trained, this is the first time I'm dealing with this situation, and there are no vets near me and/or willing to help. I have a single EE in isolation since New Years for canker and started treating her 01/05/25 as soon as I got the Metronidazole powder...

  6. What is this under my chicken's tongue?

    Lately one of my EEs has been sneezing with her whole body kind of like a small dog would and I also noticed that she tends to drop food when trying to eat. So I opened her mouth after noticing some brown drool and her neck all wet and I find this stuff under her tongue. Me being an idiot, I...

    4 happy hens need a home

    Hurricane Milton rendered our home unlivable. I'd like it if my spoiled girls could find a good home to live in. We are living in a hotel and won't be in a home again until January. They're fine in the coop, but I feel bad because they're used to running around free. They come with the DIY...

  11. Austin, TX - Rehome 4 hens by January

    So I'm having to move and, unfortunately, it's not affordable or practical to take my hens with me. I've got 4 free range layers raised from chicks, and currently they're nearly done molting in preparation for winter, so no worries about last minute molting right when freezing temps arrive. And...

    Need help- pullet or cockerels?

    Hello, We have a 4 month old Easter egger. We think it might be a cockerel but I’ve read that EE tails can sometimes look curved when they are growing. It is best friends with one of our same age roosters, which makes me question if this might be a pullet. We haven’t heard any rooster noises...
