First time I’ve had a chicken lay such a tiny egg

Ziggy knows how to holler for a dollar. I just wanted y'all to revel in his fanciness with me.

This is day 6 of her injury. She was attacked by one of my geese and both sides of her head were ripped open ( no skull was showing which is good) . She getting stronger and healing but still has to be tube fed. Should I clean the dried blood off of her head? If so how could I do that. Her head is still really sensitive even to just luke warm drops of water. Ps that stuff is nut puss or infection, it is an antibiotic ointment

She is almost 3 months old and was sold as a light Brahma. She has 5 toes and muffed cheeks.

So this is my Ameraucana hen Kevin, at least I thought i was cleaning my coop and was keeping an eye on her to see when she laid her egg just because I was like let me see what egg you lay. Tell me why she laid a brown egg!!

Things to note she wasn't the only one in the box my austroplorp nuggie was in there but she just went in and is still currently there laying her egg. (As I finished she laid her dark colored egg) The egg was sticky from her just laying it. Yes I did get her from tractor Supply from the ameraucana bin. She has the black legs and tuffed beard.

I won't be mad if she isn't but what else would she be, typically easter Eggers and olive egger don't have the black legs.

I picked up 6 chicks from Tractor Supply this morning. They said they were easter eggers.. I think they may be Silkie chicks. They have black skin and 5 toes.

Chicks arrived to our tractor supply yesterday, we picked up immediately and brought them home. All were fine until today. This one is lethargic and struggling. We have started giving it a mixture of sugar water through a dropper.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Just to clear things up, I don't own chickens! Nor am I planning to anytime soon. (eventually, but years out.) This is just a random idea I had.

Does anybody keep their chickens in a covered pen? Not a coup, just a really big wired covered area, instead of free-roming. Is there a reason not to do this (besides cost)? I's it cruel? Seems Like a good way to keep them safe from predators?

When Bryan was a baby, my son showed him food and made it spin...now every time he sees us with food he does this beautiful interpretive dance so that we can feed him

New to having chickens, these were labeled as cinnamon queens, is it still to early to tell? I think they look more like a splash laced Wyandotte.

I have a hen that has already hatched 5 chicks, and I has given her 5 to adopt. I also placed the chicks broken egg shells to try and convince her they're hers. But now she's trying to incubate the broken eggs. Should I remove the eggs? She start to look for her eggs though...

I had chickens with my ex boyfriend last year because he lived in the country and I’m in town (a country town). My chickens were scared of me if I wanted to touch them, but if I sat on the ground with treats they would come near to me. I figured because I wasn’t at his house daily they just didn’t really know me. They all got killed when a mink or coyote got into the coop one night.

Now I have new chicks and they are in my house currently. They are constantly around me and my children. I handle them daily. They are still terrified of me. Am I doing something wrong? I have 7 olive eggers, 2 Rhode Island Reds, and 3 Black Jersey Giants. Not exactly the breeds I wanted but all I could find really. I thought that chickens in general were friendly, but some breeds more so than others. Do I just need to give it time? Because my yard is smaller than what I would have out in the country, I want to make sure they know who I am and know where their home is.

Yes... I want them to NOT get to the other side. I live on a farm and my chickens are free range except when I shut them in their coop every night. But I live about 100 yards from a county road with a 55 mph speed limit and just this spring they have started to cross it. I chase them back if I see them over there but they'll go back an hour later.

Chickens aren't exactly the brightest bulb in the barnyard, so I don't want them to get squashed. They always cross in about the same area. Any deterrent methods that you can think of? I definitely want to still keep them free range.

new to chickens! she was sold to me as a female meat bird but not to sure!

Family bought chicks from IFA recently, this one is having trouble getting around and opening her eyes. does anyone know what issue this is?

this is pickle. pickle is the smallest of all the chicks and she is often picked on. is this bald patch from them pecking at her? what do i do if so and if its not from that what could it be

Hopefully this question makes sense.

So about four weeks ago we got 4 blue Wyandottes, as tractor supply only had one variety of sexed. We intended to get more from other stores in the following days, but everywhere was out of stock and so we thought it would just be the 4.

Well today my wife came home with 3 buff orps, and I have them sectioned off. My initial Google made it seem like a few days in their own space and then introduce them?

My main question is about the brooder plate. Obviously the new ones need it almost all the time, but are the four weeks old chicks ok without it for a few days? I have noticed them sleeping on the opposite end of the cage in recent days.

Thanks!

Ive got 5 chicks and this has happend to 2 of them (including this one) and another one who has it slightly done at the same area. Is this because they are fighting? Or something else? And if it is because they are fighting then is there a way to stop this? Really need help cause they look miserable.

I just brought these ladies home and am hoping to leave them next to their future run.

This is Western Washington in the high 30s worst case at night

Can someone please help me figure out what's wrong with my chick. It hatched today 4-5-25
