I have a mommy hen, what breed or breeds she might be I do not know. That's my question She had one baby of her own and hatched another hen's baby. I don't know the possible roosters involved as they came to me as foster hens. Her own baby seems to be feathering out very slowly and I am...

Sorry I couldn't resist sharing this. My sister sent this to me yesterday asking if this would be acceptable for my Christmas gift this year. I think the interior artwork is a wonderful idea. I see no problems with that at all BEAU COOP Dawn breaks. The hens descend from...

Well after 3+ years w/o an incident today turned rainy and dreary. I had already let the chickens out this morning before the weather changed. The hens must have been so scared because they didn't make a peep. I came downstairs and my dog went to the back door. As we opened it I saw one of...

My head hen is sick. I gave her TLC this morning and will keep an eye on her. May be internal laying issues as she is coming out of molt. Her comb is dark and purple on the ends and her bottom seems heavy, red and was covered with poop. She got a bath, healthy food, electrolytes and tlc...

Which one doesn't belong. . . .

Fairly certain this is a pullet. Doesn't seem boyish to me at all. BUT. . . what is she? Hen on the nest was said to be white with black splashing. That's all I know. 5 weeks old yesterday. Orp?

Most of my gals have been going through their first moult over the past 4 months. I have two now who are really loosing feathers and head to the nest when it gets dark and seem to think they'll lay an egg. This is new behavior and on occasion they seem to let go a giant poop in place of the...

Egg production is way off the last several Months and I'm starting to suspect I may have someone feasting on eggs. If one of the hens was dining would I find any remnant evidence? One was in the nest today but when I went to collect her egg there was none. I have 5 just year old hens who have...

OK, seems a majority of my ladies seem to have gone on strike, egg laying wise I have 5 1 year olds this month and I'm averaging 2 eggs a day. That's down from 4 a day up until summer started. They aren't hiding eggs anywhere else. Do they slow way down in the summer??

Well yesterday on a sunny afternoon around 5pm we were all out in the backyard, me, 3 boys, dog and chickens. I turn around to see a racoon walking straight toward us and he is closing in at 40 feet. I tell the kids to get inside, I call the chickens who follow me into the coop and my son...

Wow never had BR's before and my EE's only cheep cheep cheeped. These little BR's can sound like most all the song birds outside in my yard. They are here with me in my computer room and every now and then I turn around to see if another outside bird is hiding It's so cool! Is this normal or...

These BR gals came home with us yesterday. Seller told us they were 4 weeks old. He had a few different groups of chicks there so IDK? Are they really 4 weeks old? I know many of you will be able to confirm or deny immediately. They look and act younger than 4 weeks, though in reality we've...

Only one eye looks like this. What is wrong and how do I treat her? No other chickens have any eye issues. Hoping to make Oakley better quickly.

Anyone within 1-2 hours of No Virginia who has some young pullets for sale? Can be anywhere from newly hatched to maybe 6 weeks old ish? Super slim pickens here on Craigslist. Looking for Barred Rocks, Speckled Sussex, Bantam Orps/Lorps I can't have roos.

Well today is such a difficult day. Yesterday before dinner when we were out enjoying the chickens my son noticed that something was wrong with my little house banty, she was favoring a leg. Otherwise she was fiesty as ever fighting the big girls for some dropped cheerios. We decided to...
