Ok, so I have a lovely little flock of chickens.  8 hens, 1 rooster.  They are about a year and 2 months old.  A few months ago I noticed a few of our hens had some bare backs, and one had feathers missing on her...

I also thought it would be unlikely that it was the roosters fault!  They are in a hoop house, and there is no way a dog could have gotten in...at least not without leaving some evidence.  I'm hoping it was maybe just the...

I had a flock of 10 chickens, 9 hens and one rooster.  My parents have been taking care of my chickens (as we recently relocated).  My dad is a farmer and knows quite a bit about animals, so for the most part they are in safe...

We're getting ready to move, and are taking our chickens with us.  They are about 20 weeks old and we just started getting our first eggs (YAY!).  Anyway, we've been using a tractor but would love to give them a stationary...

I got my very first flock of chickens back in March.  I never expected to be moving just a few months later.  We are moving to our new home August 1st, and would like to move our chickens as well.  What is the best way...

Ha, I'm confused now!  I thought California Whites had red earlobes because according to the above link ( http://www.raising-chickens.org/california-white.html ) they said California Whites have red combs, wattles, and...
