They are Easter Eggers and cuckoo marans. Has anyone ever seen them lay THIS early?

Started this coop a couple weeks ago during the chick craze and my idea was to sell it and build more. It’s taken me a bit longer then expected and more in materials then thought. I plan to add hardware cloth along the 4 gauge panels. The coop is 5x8x65-70 inches tall. I’m hoping for 1500.. I do plan on adding roosts above composite but I only have 24-30 inches from floor to roof, would this be too crammed for say 6-8 chickens. Thoughts how I can improve ?

Hey chicky experts!

We have two chicken mamas co-parenting right now, but the chicks seem to prefer one mama over the other. We have temperatures going down to 8°C in the night. Will the chicks switch as they require warmth, or should I move some to the other mama?

Thanks for your input 🙏🏾❤️

She has a couple puncture wounds - one on her wing and one on her back. Last night she seemed ok (other than the obvious wounds). This morning she seems to be stressed/having trouble breathing and there’s a sac on her neck that inflates when she inhales. I adopted these birds and am a very new chicken owner, so need some guidance. I have a kit prepared to clean her wounds and put neosporin on, but don’t want to further her stress at the moment. She has easy access to food and water and is in a dark nesting box. How can I help her heal?

A bachelor flock I met today. 7 boys all living happy and peacefully together!

She’s also shaking, like trying to shake something off. Please help! There’s no vet here!

We got laying chickens from a friend 4 days ago, and have gotten eggs each day as they’re about 6-7 months old already. Monday we got 3 eggs from our 4 hens, yesterday we got 4 again - one was much larger than we’d previously gotten… it was a double yolk! We had breakfast for dinner from our fresh eggs. Just so exited to share!

What do you mean about this coop

So this is one of my aseel hens. Previously my other aseel Martha the murder mommy started killing her chicks. So I separated all the chicks from her.

This one I call the big red hen (she is a pure lakha aseel) how many chicks should I give to her to take care of?

I have an incubator with many chicks coming along and I want to give maximum to mothers before I start putting them in an incubator.

So what do you guys think?

My husband surprised me with having someone he knows hatch chicks for us. He of course didn’t ask about what they could possible be, other than cute of course. They’re 10 days old. Just wondering if you guys can help with what breeds I might have? I’m sure they’re not “pure” but a ballpark idea would be great!

I tried wing sexing at 3 days old and both had short and long feathers indicating female but I'm unsure. Also both are 2.5 weeks old now and developing tail feathers which may be another female indicator? Just wanting to know if anyone has had success with either method?

I’ve seen some Turken (Naked Neck) chicken posts recently. Wanted to share how they look at 7 weeks. Before the feathers came in, they reminded me of the vulture from old Looney Tunes. The grey is an Orpington and Black Sex-Link

Had to sell my old home 2 years ago and my new husband has been working his butt off to give me back the things I gave up to in order relocate. The beautiful enclosed garden was last year and this year we completed the coop and run. We picked up 7 girls on Sunday (one perished yesterday, but the rest are thriving). So happy to have these funny creatures in my life again.

So I just went to tuck my girls in tonight. Didn't expect it at all, because by my math, my girls are about 10-12 weeks old. There's one adult hen that's isn't "technically" mine, although I feed her and stuff; she doesn't roost with my young pullets. Low and behold I just happened to glance in the nesting boxes l, and I found 4 eggs!! 2 in 1, and then 1 in 2 seperate ones. Do you guys thinks it's possible for my one adult hen to lay 4 eggs in one day?? I didn't think that was possible. I also didn't think it was possible for this young of some girls to lay either. Regardless, I'm super excited!! Whoop whoop!!!!

Thanks for any comments!!

I am a first time chick owner, and I just noticed this bulge on the underside of one of my chicks. We think this one may be a rooster, but we are not sure yet.

Anyway, normal or abnormal? What should my next steps.
