So, my great little roo was taken this afternoon. I was in the house, herd some squealing noises and found feathers and two about 5ft long scrapes in the dirt. I'm guessing hawk. He was half bantam, so not real big. Does that sound right? I'm pretty sure, just looking for some conformation. It's...

I got this guy a while back. His dad was a bantam and his mom standard. I'm guessing OEGB X Easter egger (they had "ameraucana" hens in the flock). Anyone care to throw out an opinion? I know I'll never find out. Just curious of people's ideas.

I bought this little thing as an impulse buy from the assorted straight run bantam bin. It was adorable and I had no clue what it was. Turns out it's a polish. I know it's still a bit early (about 6-7 weeks) but, any guess on the sex? The waddles seem pretty pronounced, but I haze zero...

So, exactly 3 weeks ago one of my buff orpington hens vanished. No feathers. Other chickens were undisturbed and had no change in laying pattern. They didn't act like there had been an attack or anything. I came to the conclusion that a coyote must have snagged her while I was at work and while...

Can a red tailed hawk snatch a (hatchery type) buff orpington and fly off without a struggle? One of my orpingtons disappeared yesterday without a trace. I came home from work and she was just gone. I walked all over the area that they range and couldn't find any feathers. I do have coyotes here...

I unintentionally ended up with more chickens than what my coop realistically should house. I lost some to a predator, bought new chicks to replace them and then added a couple of 1 Y/O while waiting on the chicks to grow. Everything went fine till I added in the 3 pullets (the chicks). The...

I have 3 hens who lay and 3 pullets I've been waiting on to start contributing since Oct 26th (day olds). Well, like 4 days ago the barred rock started laying and today I go out there to find that one of the EE started now too! This is the little egg next to one from my cinnamon queen, who lays...

My little cinnamon queen lays big brown eggs nearly every day but, the quality of them seems to be lacking. Compared to the other eggs, hers look more like store bought eggs in the pan. The whites run all over, instead of staying nice and tight. The yolks are more pale yellow. It may be my...
