Hey, I'm trying to think of a creative name for my fresh eggs business. I want it to be something different and modern...the egg puns seem a little overused. I was thinking along the lines of Keep Calm and Raise Chickens, or #fresheggs...I live at the beach, and my flock's in my backyard. Any ideas?

I only have a limited time to sex this chick. It's an EE, about 5-6 weeks old. It's tricky because it's giving me mixed signals. Anyone?[/IMG]

I got this black-and-white chick...and it's got me quite confused. I'm unsure of its breed, or it's gender. I don't think I've ever seen a comb like its before. Any ideas?

Hmmm...I got this chick, and i'm not certain what breed it is. I thought is was a welsummer, but it has grey feet! I'm also trying to figure out what sex it is. This was an early picture...its about 3-4 weeks now and has started feathering out, and its getting salmon colored feathers on its...

I recently just had to sell my five chickens because they got too old. I had so much fun naming them, and I'm planning on getting chicks soon. I want to give them names as cute as my last flock! I'd prefer if they had to do with a theme, because then all the names will match. Last year I went...

I live in Wilmington, NC, and my hens all just turned 3...and it shows. They've almost completely stopped laying (I only get about 2 eggs a week!). Usually I would take them to the Flock Swap in Castle Hayne, but winter's approaching, so I don't think many people would be interested in buying...

I've built a fairly large coop and run for my chickens, but sadly I'm not always around home and cannot let them free-range a lot of the day. I'm wondering what kinds of things I could add inside my run to make my hens' time inside almost as enjoyable as their time outside! Any toys, plants...

I like to let my backyard chickens out in the morning and afternoons. They stay in the backyard for a while, but because we don't have a fence they always end up wandering to the front lawn. I was wondering if there was any way to keep them in the back without a fence.

Yuck! Today I discovered little worms living underneath my bedding in my nest box. Ew! I'm going to give the whole coop a good scrub, but how do I prevent more worms??? The last thing I want are these pests getting in my eggs or getting my chickens sick. Any ideas?

My hen fell on its leg wrong and is now limping. I checked the leg and I could touch it without the hen squealing in pain. She can move it herself, but she doesn't like to put weight on it. I think the problem is somewhere in her hip, but I don't know how to tell if there's something wrong. I...

My Hen was attacked by a dog behind my back. She has no extreme feather loss or any visible open wounds, but she's limping. I examined her leg and I was able to move it around w/o her making any painful noises, and she can move it herself too. I'm 13 and This is my first time raising chickens so...

My Speckled Sussex was attacked by a dog today. She ran and hid, so I picked her up and examined her. She had no open wounds that I could see nor alot of feather loss, but when I put her in the coop I saw she started limping. I examined her again and looked at her hurt leg, which I could touch &...

My speckled Sussex was attacked by a dog. She ran and hid and I found her and examined her. She has no open wounds nor a great deal of feather loss, but when I put her in her coop she started limping and favoring on side. She can still move both feet, and when I touch the injured one she doesn't...
