Wanted to post photo on Android #1, where picture is, and get locked out (trying valid pw repeatedly being told was wrong). Same pw used on Android #2 now, no prob, but can't post pic as is on #1 device. Arrgh!!!

Been trolling through the back of my freezer and found a lot of vegetarian foods in there. This tried today is Lightlife Smart Tenders meatless SAVORY CHIK'N. Tastes good. Texture good. A small sliver resembles a tasty grub. Enter the young munchkin chirps. The keep-away party explodes! Was...

Its amazing what lengths chickens will go to for a crop full of styrofoam cooler or polystyrene packing often used as insulation. :pop Mine have never shown any illness from having eaten a little of it in the past. But though I've tried to get it away from and keep it from them in the past, I...

Money can be very tight at times. Chickens can save a lot of money: Free eggs Free fertilizer Free insect and spider control Free weeding service Free lawn de-thatching Free turf aeration Free entertainment Free meat & feathers if called for... But food can cost a lot when the birds are cooped...

Fox came through fence and grabbed laying RR before I could chase it off. It seems to have only got a few back feathers off and left a non bleeding scrape on back and a bent flight feather and a lower leg abrasion. But hen is making a raspy sound on breathing and is panting. This about 30...

The Cooper's (a.k.a. Chicken) Hawk is a beautiful specimen of nature. But they are not welcome here! They do not come from here, yet their migration path brings them to my coop. I just lost one of my hopeful future EE pullets to one a few minutes after opening the coop and scattering treats -...

Returned from a long road trip and next thing I know, I've said yes to 3 hopefully female birds, and a mixed lot of eggs ready for an incubator... All on July 6. Not much clue what have here. Any guesses and suggestions appreciated! Here are the newbies that now join my laying BR and RR: This...

Just about roosting time. Hawk was still there. Bloody head. Slight gaping and repeated tongue and beak gestures like trying to spit something out of mouth or maybe something in throat or trachea possibly blood. Eye on 1 side closed and head bloody. Also lost flight feathers on 1 side. Do...

...and LOST! Or did it? All my chickens uninjured physically, minus some feathers. On hearing alarm squawks, I raced to the coop where the sound came from. There were feather batches along the way and no sign of my 3 hens. Anywhere. My DS and I hunted all over the yard including outside fences...

Ok.so the chickens were happy when given a ceramic baking dish of cooked fish-cleaning leftovers. But now my dish has a thick terribly sticky layer of goo that doesn't want to come off. Except to spread to anything like my fingers! :sick Any suggestions how to save my dish for normal future use?

This is Red Ranger mixed hen laying only few months. She is acting a little lethargic as I've gone to fetch her and found her standing by what appeared to be a shell less egg. 2 times have seen before but there was also a sort of soft shell near the eggy deposit. She laid normal eggs and double...

School is in session for my 3 students. Meet Missy, Dasher and Donner. Top to bottom respectively. Missy is oldest but very submissive. Dasher is so fast she almost always gets Missy"s goodies, even from her mouth, before she can eat it. Donner is relatively slower and dumber than the...

I just tried again unsuccessfully after reading this thread to search titles only for the word necropsy. I used the button at the bottom. Results still included titles without that word in it.

The prompt currently asks for your name or email address. It does not, however, work by entering your name. Please reword to 'user name' or 'user ID' :)

Some posts have begun to make me worry because my chickens may sometimes get piggy about the meat scraps and other high protein or fat dishes put outside. At least one poster said too much fat could be fatal!? I have 3 hens currently but often one will gorge before the others take any. If I put...

So no eggs all day January 1 from either hen that is currently laying, and I'm thinking it's just too cold. Then at lockup time, sundown, and they're fighting to lay in the nest at the same time. It is in the teens F. Aren't chickens smart enough to either not lay or do in the daytime? Update -...

) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Last spring my old patio enclosure became a coop for 5 different breeds of hens. It has been a wild learning trip since, with new surprises on a regular basis. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? There are now 3 layers. All...
