We live in unincorporated Snohomish Cty and chickens are allowed. We were just notified that the area is being annexed to become part of the city of Lynnwood, WA. Lynnwood does NOT allow chickens. We don't know what to do. I was told to write to elected officials and try to change the law...

My three gals just started laying yesterday. One from the roost (broken on ground), the other on a paver in the yard, and the next one actually went to the nest! Second day, one on coop floor--broken open, the next in the pen on the ground, and the third in the nest again. So far, 6 eggs, and...

My pullets have all mixed well, but there is one pullet who is relentless toward the new gals. Has anybody ever tried isolating the bully? She has already drawn blood on one of my pullets. I can see her from the window and she continually charges the new new gals. The other pullets seem to...

I bought and raised 4 chickens this year. A month or so ago, I purchased two more pullets. After quarantine time, I added them to the coop with a wire wall between them and my 4 other chickens (3 pullets and 1 roo). By the way, all of the chickens are the same age and mostly same size now...

Any ideas as to whether I have a rooster here? I am showing 3 different birds. 1 supposedly a Sexlink and 2 others are RIR 1. Black Sexllink? 15-16 weeks old 2. LUCY Rhode Island Red 15-16 weeks old Face 3. LUCY Rhode Island Red BODY 4. Another shot of Lucy's Body BELOW...

I bought two pullets today that are the same age as the chickens I have now. Do you think it is safe to add them to the coop tonight while they're all roosting? Or will they hurt the new chickens?

Does anybody have a favorite book about chickens (reference non-fiction type) that they recommend?

I posed photos of these birds when they were younger and now I'm confused as to whether or not I have male or females. I know the black sexlinks are supposed to be female--one acts pretty bossy. The Rhode Island Red is the leader of the pack--very aggressive and the golden laced wyandotte is...

A few weeks ago I purchased two 9 month old laying hens. They are laying well, both are very sweet and seem to like me. Also, both are laying. The problem I have is that the Barred Rock is as loud as a rooster (I have backyard chickens)--if not louder at times, and she goes on for hours...

I bought a RIR (Lucy), a Golden Laced Wyandotte( Sean Jr), and two back sexlinks. I was aware now that the Wyandotte is a rooster, but I'm starting to wonder about the RIR. She seems to fight him and she is the largest. They are all 8 weeks old. Now I'm starting to look at one of the black...

I new to the chick world. Well, I raised chickens when I was a kid, but I don't think I worried about whether they were hens or roosters at the time. Now I can only have hens and I'm nervous because out of the 4 chickens I bought, two appear rooster-ish what do you think? I'm told they are 4...

I just bought chicks 3 weeks ago. According to the date I was given, the chicks were born on April 15th. After looking at photos on this forum, I am suspecting they are older (they are covered in feathers--had to enlarge brooder, and one has red crest and cheeks. I bought a 10 lb bag of chick...
