    Empordanesa & Penedesenca - Who has them?

    Love the pic!! I would LOVE one of these in my flock. ( And I also did photo shoots for all my chicks... did one each week just so I could look back on how much they DO change. So fun!!)

    April Fools 2016 - New Development: Chicken Feed That Changes Egg Shell Color!

    No, actually I've been following the research on this and it really IS a thing! As Amelia Egghart said, they use natural products to color/dye the shell material as its being produced. A lot of work went into this Can't wait to see the results!..

    9 month old pullet, not eating, listless, pale, Vet doesn't even know whats wrong!

    Nine months ago I ordered 4 chicks from MPC, with Mareks vaccines. 3 of the 4 matured nicely and are the picture of health and laying, The 4th (Sofie) has always been a bit timid and for that reason I have paid special attention to her and took to hand feeding her since she's always seem to...

    Comment by 'Weve3Chickens123' in item 'Legbar'

    We just did the same thing to coax my Speckled Sussex out of her broodiness. She sat day after day in that nestbox, and day after day I'd pull her out and try to get her to stay out in the run with the other girls, but she'd just go back. So I got 1/2 dozen hatching eggs and placed them under...

    HELP! Newly orphaned 5 wk old chick - get a friend or keep single til old enough to join big girls

    Thanks, Puddin Fluff! I'm kinda leaning that way, but just want to make sure it's not just because I WANT it. - - I want it to be good for HER. She was always the friendliest anyway ( flew up to the top of the tote and the box whenever I lifted the lid), while the rest were sort of skittish...

    HELP! Newly orphaned 5 wk old chick - get a friend or keep single til old enough to join big girls

    Earlier this evening my DH left the shed door open and my dachshund got in and chewed through the bottom corner of their cardboard brooder box and killed 3 out of 4 of my five week old chicks. Thankfully one was able to fly to safety. I had moved the chicks to the cardboard box as they had...

    Biting feet

    Thanks to all! I added chick grit and started giving mealworms ( look amazingly like little chick toes. ) and she's content with that! I doubt they are too warm. It says to keep at 95 for the 1st week and if I get it to 95 they run to the other side of the brooder .... Seem to be more active...

    Biting feet

    I just got my order of new baby chicks. They all arrived healthy and seemingly happy. Only one ( a Delaware) keeps biting the feet of the others. Practically drags the other poor chick off balance. No signs of blood ( she pecked me - it doesn't hurt) but I'm worried of a leg , or hip, injury...

    how can you tell if chickens are moulting? **PICS ADDED**

    So glad to hear that "those spiky things" are new pin feathers... I had hoped so when I spotted them on my little speckled hen that has been losing feathers lately. Since she was the last hen added to my small flock (4 total) I had worried she was being picked on by the others. I did see them...

    Getting white spots on brown egg,,what's up?

    I have a barred rock pullet that has been laying for a month or so. Nice little pinkinsh-brown eggs, nice shape, smooth and with a good strong shell. Pretty eggs in my opinion. But a few days ago I noticed a few tiny white spots that when I washed the egg looked a different color brown, but...

    Araucana thread anyone?

    Thanks to all for your responses. I do hope my little Annabelle will be as good a layer as yours. But even if she doesn't, she IS the sweetest little chicken I've come across. Was just surprised by his comment.

    Araucana thread anyone?

    Was glad to hear from some of you that Araucanas ARE a reliable layer. I went out this weekend looking for one, had my heart set on geting a tufted pullet but fell for a little tuftless, rumpless sweetie and, since I'm not in this for breeding - just eggs and a pet really - I bought her. Low...
