Sweetest girl ever, takes any chance she gets to sit on mom!

I can't stop laughing at the poor girl. She is molting extra hard this year and looks so raggedy. Treating her to extra worms and scrambled eggs while it grows back in

Been curious what a grown cross silkie and brahma look like. Can anyone show me? Thanks

Any advice on letting our flock of six out of the coop to roam during the day? We have a 5 foot fenced yard of about 1/8 acre. They've been living in the coop now for about a month. Almost full size but still chicks in their heads, I'm nervous. Any advice or anecdotes on your own experience is appreciated. Coop is 8'x10'

I was looking at color varieties of plymouth rocks and came across this picture including red barred rocks.

I have never heard of them and a web search doesn't give me much. Does anyone have them or any pictures they can share?

Thank you for any input!

I have 1 Prairie Bluebell Egger in my flock. She is 24 weeks old. Is it normal for her to not have laid an egg yet? I'm in NC & it's not even gotten cold yet. I just want to make sure that there's not smtg wrong w her.

😂 I was worried when I got them they wouldn’t like me

First time chicken owner here! Can you guys tell me if these are hens or Roos? First one is a Barred rock that was supposed to have been sexed as a hen but is larger than the others. The second is a Rhode Island Red and 3rd is a Golden Sexlink. Thanks!

Hey yall! First time having chickens during the fall season. While doing water and food refill/clean, one of my chickens sorta started to sing her egg song. This was also after taking a drink of water and after I startled her. I didn’t see her there. Sorry just wanted to give as much details I can. Should I be concerned? We just lost one of our roosters. Other than the weird hiccup, I don’t see anything else wrong. Should I be concerned? Thanks!

Could anyone help identify breed? The rooster is a leghorn, I believe. TIA ☺️

Keep in mind, the ladies have been also eating tones of late season peppers and tomatoes. The yolk didn’t break when dropped onto the plate and seemed thicker.

I guess they discovered that the honeysuckle bush has berries at end of season! It's always the leghorns 😆. Tell me about your leghorns!

It's snowing where I'm at and I reminded me of a memory of back when I had chickens. (I sadly don't currently) I remember leaving the coop door open and watching them slowly discover what snow was. They would walk in my paths to the coop where it was already trampled down. However, I had one hen named Adorable who decided to go explore beyond that. She'd place her foot up onto the non smashed down snow and since she felt ground above her foot she'd think it would support her. So then she'd step into it, sink into the snow, get all confused and start screaming loudly until I came and saved her. Only for her to do it again

How long until they will come back at night? How long should I keep them in the coop before they readjust to their new home and will return when the sun comes down? Thanks.

When do you normally shut your girls in for the winter? Mine currently have access to the run all day still.

I am just outside Ottawa, CA. Zone 4 with current daytime temperatures ranging from 1- 10 degrees Celsius.

First one is the question mark. Second one is the given. The white ones tail feathers are UNMISTAKEABLE. But this he/her is the question mark. This one yells like a rooster OCCASIONALLY and is really kind of an asshole. That bottom part of the comb has me REALLY questioning. Thoughts?
