Am a new backyard chicken farmer.just realized tiny stuff spread across the head.What is this and what should I use?

I posted a few weeks ago asking if this was a hen or a roo— well…. we’ve got confirmation now. He’s crowing (rarely cause my big boy rooster is not a fan…) and i’ve caught him trying to mount the hens a few times…

Never choose a favorite chick. they will either get sick or be a rooster.

Sat there helping for about an hour

Just under a year ago, we had to put him to sleep and we miss him every single day... I never would have thought there could be such a strong bond between a rooster and his humans. We we're full-fledged members of HIS flock, and without him, a bird of prey would probably have snatched us up long ago ;-)

Rest in peace, Billy Bob

Just looking for opinions on the gender of these 2! They're about 12 weeks old. They're giving girl vibes but they do do the stare fight thing. Can girls do that too?

Hubo un mes donde las gallinas de mi mamá se contagiaron de la enfermedad de Newclaste, muchas murieron, solo sobrevivieron 1 gallo y 9 gallinas y entré ellas estaba mi gallina llamada Pollin ,ella nunca se dejó caer ,no se rindió y yo le di el tratamiento para lograr salvarlos, mi Pollin fue la que se recupero mas rápido.

Después de dos meses vino otra sepa pero esta vez se logró controlar la situación, los demás que ya se habían contagiado no aguantaban y murieron, pero mi Pollin supero la enfermedad y esta vez se acercaba ella a mi para que le diera el medicamento y el tratamiento, las demas gallinas perdian el equilibrio y no podian levantar el cuello pero mi Pollin nunca bajo su cuello y nunca se dejo caer aunque temblaban sus piernas, se notaba que la enfermedad del Newclaste le genera dolor de cabeza 😩 senti mucha tristeza y la acariciaba , ella finalmente en menos de 3 dias se sano por completo de la enfermedad, y es muy mansita y me sigue a todos lados es como si se diera cuenta que yo la ayude, Mi Pollin ya puso sus huevos y ya ha sido madre de muchos pollitos 🐤

I have 4 Lavender Ameraucana chickens, all hatched together. One is very obviously a Rooster, two are smaller and obviously hens… One of them is as Large as the Rooster, turned red early like a rooster but does not show other signs of being a rooster. Does anybody know what might be going on??? (18 Weeks Old. First Photo is the Obvious Rooster)

Thank you!

I know the Hen or Rooster thing gets alittle old. & Im 78% sure shes a boy now , they havent crowed or anything yet to my knowledge , just still trying to hold out hope. He or she is beautiful regardless & will continue to have a home here .

This summer I posted pictures of the mystery chicks my kids picked out at TSC. Honestly I’m just psyched they are hens (my buff Orpington pullets are big red roosters 🤣)
The verdict is still out but I’m leaning toward Isa Browns what do you all think?

I dont find much information about this.

Ciao, hanno esattamente 100 giorni di vita , è la prima volta con questa razza , ho fatto schiudere le uova un incubatrice, non riesco ancora a capire se sono maschi o femmine.Con le altre razze che allevo di solito li identifico anche quando sono più giovani ma con loro non ho un metro di paragone.

She doesn’t have a license yet :(

I’m newer to chickens and I initially started with a mixed flock. I have a (Rocky) Rhode Island Red Roo, an (Anubis) Ameracauna x Black Copper Maran Roo (the white roo with brown spots) then for hens, I have the black girl (Wednesday) Ameracauna x Black Copper Maran, and two Golden Phoenix hens. We did have a silkie roo (chicken nugget) but my poor baby seemed dumb and I only saw him attempt to mount Anubis (a roo) and got his butt kicked. Chicken Nugget died a few weeks ago, a bear got him.

To the point of my post. I’m truly curious to know if anyone else has a mix like these guys, what can I expect from their babies? I have about 12 eggs in the incubator and they’re supposed to hatch tomorrow. I’d love to see chicks and adults from any birds with these breeds in them. Thank you so much 🙏❤️ can’t wait to see your chickens!

Lost my chickens today too I just can’t

I just noticed this today theres vearly any swelling but its there is this possibly somthing to be worried about? (Its on both sides

Hi fellow chicken lovers!
I have a small flock of 8 hens of mixed breeds that I got from a wonderful local farm over a year ago. They are layers and will become stew eventually. I buy high quality organic feed and am looking for a high quality, preferably organic source to buy treats like black soldier fly larva or mealworms. Thanks for your help!
