broody...hmmmm I'll have to keep an eye on her

no that vid is not of my hen but she does make that sound. I wasnt touching her..in fact I was standing about 8 ft away....

It sounded exactly like this but a little longer and louder. Screeching chicken:

no lol. not the egg song. as soon as she sat down there was a long screech about every 15 seconds.

Hi all. This morning I noticed that my RIR started screeching loudly when she sat in the nest box. I wonder if she's in pain. She has also been a little more aggressive and doesnt leave the coop when I open the door to free range in the afternoon. Any ideas what can be wrong with her??

Thanks for the input. I'll post an update in a few weeks;):P

Roll call! As of 20 minutes ago: Dominique--she's a little shy Easter Egger- very active and curious White Rock? the feathers give it away Buff Orpington? These last two are of the same chick--Meal Maker?

To me, it looks like one of my Delawares. Here is a photo for comparison: A Delaware is at the bottom left of the photo. Behind her to the left is a Golden Buff (as well as at the bottom right peeking out from under the brinsea) and on her other side a Buff Orpington (another is on the...

In the store? No, I placed a phone order. Last time I got my order within 2 days but this time I tracked the order and found it was sitting @the post office about 45 min away before being delivered to my post office. I decided to pick them up rather than having to wait another day. My...

Ugh well I really hope that's not the case. I had a feeling getting a meal maker was gonna but me on the butt!

I really hope not..meal makers are supposed to be girls. :-\

I have a white rock too! Lol here's a pic of her...I'm pretty sure she's a white rock. White rock: Buff orp? Mystery chick (little wings)..maybe this is a buff o and the one above is the meal maker?

Mmmm...not sure if they're coming in white. The wings are smaller in general so that leads me to believe that it's another breed. Maybe another type of buff breed?

[Ate name="RoostersCrow,HensDeliver!" url="/t/738837/meyer-hatchery-chicken-pics-anyone/4900#post_13337964"] Why not a buff Orp? That's what she looks like to me. I thought that at first too since a buff o was already a part of my order I figured they sent two of them but now I'm noticing the...
