    Healed Americauna

    Hello, I just wanted to share my story and experience. My 5 month old Americauna got bullied so badly by my 10 month old flock. As you can see they severely injured her head. I brought her to an ER where they partially sowed her up and gave be antibiotics and pain meds. They gave me a 50/50...

    Rooster behavior....

    I have a Black silkie Rooster by accident last year and decided to keep it even though they are not allowed in my town. I love his big eyes and he’s quite a sweetheart. This has been my only rooster so I’m pretty new with their quirky behaviors. He loves being around me and even stops crowing...

    so i got 3 new chickens over the summer. 1 silkie, 1 Polish and 1 lakenvelder. Silkie turned out to be a rooster, and the lakenvelder (which i learned a couple months later) is mixed with an Ameracauna. Now i thought my lakenvelder mix laid her first egg s month and a half ago. It’s pinky light...

    Is this a silkie roo?

    so I’m new to having a silkie and haven’t had one doubt that i had a silkie Hen until late this morning, i heard a cock-a-doodle-doo! I’m sure it’s this chicken who did it. He did it about 5x until i came out and gave them food and i haven’t heard of it all day. It’s quite the quiet crow too...

    Egg bound, sick? Help!

    My favorite Orpington has gotten me worried these past few days. Yesterday she was favoring 1 day but it seemed like that healed over night? Now I've noticed she has a purple tipped comb and it's cold. It's not cold here. It is very windy at the moment. She is 2 1/2 years old. She's been eating...

    A 5 week old chick acting like a mom?

    I have a 5 week old speckled Sussex and a 5 day old blue Cochin. The Cochin goes under her for warmth and the Sussex doesn't mind. The Sussex also seems to protect her and feels the need to sit on her, one time. Can a 5 week old already have that maternal instinct?

    Broody Maran...

    My first broody hen and it's my Maran! I was thinking about breaking her bloodiness but then I thought. I do have 4 week old Easter eggers that have been inside my house. I was wondering should I just give her the chicks? Or is that a bad idea. Maybe she'll think the eggs hatched and she has...

    Maran makes weird noises

    So I uploaded a small clip of my Maran making the noise and it's funny cuz my brahma responds back but she does this noise regardless if they are all together or separated. There's no other chickens for another half mile which would be amazing if they can hear any of them through all the...

    Easter Eggers

    My Easter Eggers are almost 2 weeks old and unlike my other chicks I've had these birds are crazy full of energy! The first couple of days I could handle them and they would fall asleep on me, now they just want to keep moving. Is this how Easter Eggers usually are? When my Orpington was this...

    I'm so heart broken! My beautiful white Ameraucana died this morning unexpectedly. She was acting normal yesterday and last night. Even laid an egg yesterday. She never skipped a beat with her laying. Out of all my various birds, she's the one who laid 6-7 eggs a week even throughout winter. She...
