I have to find a new home for my three girls. I have a Rhode Island Red, a Black Sex Link, and a White Cochin. All are 2.5 years old and good layers. These are very much pet chickens, and I'd love for them to go to a pet home. They are all healthy, tame, and sweet, and they will eat out of your...

Need some relatively urgent help from some chicken experts here. My black sex link is sick. She's acting drunk, wobbling around, crossing one foot over the other when she walks. She's lost a substantial amount of weight over the last two days, but this is the first day I've seen the drunk...

One of my three girls has been broody for almost three months now. She's a white cochin. I've been taking her out every morning so she can stretch out a bit and get water and food, but she shows no signs of stopping. I even shut off her access to her nest yesterday and she just found another...

Aleshanee Dolores Gogo (Ale in the background) Hungry chickens! Hope you enjoyed!

Looks like I was wrong about who has been laying the eggs. I thought it was my RIR, GoGo because they are light brown eggs coming nearly every day. Very small, but brown. She's the oldest, after all. Today I caught my little Japanese bantam Ginger on the nest, and discovered that it has been her...

Just today I was getting bummed out about my girls not laying yet, but when I went out to the coop, I found a teeny tiny brown egg! YAY! My RIR girl GoGo must have laid it.

Hi! Been a while since I posted. My flock is almost all grown up now! Anyway, just wanted to share some pictures with you guys. This is my favorite girl, Ofelia, Silver Grey Dorking. This is my very tolerant dog, Julio with Miu, a bantam partridge cochin. Vol. 2 of above picture...

We went to the feed store today for food and came back with food and two more chickens. They were sold to us as Golden Wyandottes, but they have single combs. Are they really Wyandottes?

They're growing up! Three weeks and a few days old now. Remember my little silver spangled hamburg? Here he/she is now! Too early to tell the sex? The Delawares are getting bigger, too. This is Lucinda, the Blue Andalusian. Silver Grey Dorking, no name yet...

I've recently fallen in love with some Bobwhite Quail, and I'm seriously thinking about getting some. Is it possible to keep two or three of them in a pen with 5 or so hens? Pen will be of adequate size and height, so I'm only wondering how the two different species would do together. Has anyone...

My roommate and I were taking our four greyhounds on their morning walk today when all of a sudden we hear a rooster crow! We're in the middle of the city! We had to go investigate, and we found a teeny tiny little bantam rooster in a bush! My roommate ran the greyhounds home and came back so we...

The babies are three days old and starting to grow their feathers! Black Langhsans, St. Run (who are somehow growing white feathers... ) Blue Andalusians, Pullets (+ other color andalusians + mystery chick) Delawares, St. Run (one starting to grow darker wing feathers than the...

Ever wondered just how small they are? For your viewing pleasure, here's a two day old Buff Japanese next to a grade A store bought large egg.

Just wanted to show you guys some pictures of my old chickens. I took these about eight or nine years ago. Here are the babies on day one. Lots of various breeds from McMurray. My dog Julio, chickens Toby, Mercury, and Sweetie. My favorite girl, Plata, a Silver Gray Dorking. My mean...

We recieved our Chick-N-Hutch yesterday afternoon and put it up today! McMurray was very speedy about shipping it. It came in less than a week! So far it seems to be quite the bargain. Phase 1 of Chickentopia: Complete! Now we're off to the feed store to get some more supplies! We have...

I'm coming to you guys again with another question! I think this fits under behavior. How many of you have a successful flock dynamic with one rooster and two or three hens? When I was a kid, we had a RIR rooster and hen and a buff Orp hen. Peeps, the rooster, absolutely tore our Buff Orp...

We just placed an order with McMurray Hatchery. Come April 23, we will have 26 day old baby chicks. We can only keep six of them, though (one of each breed), so the remaining 20 will have to find homes. Here is what we ordered: 5 Blue Andalusian (pullets) 5 Buff Japanese Bantams (st. run) 5...

Hello! My name is Rachel, and I'm very excited to have found this forum! I am new here, but not to chickens. Every Spring I get what I call "chicken fever" and I want chickens again. It has been several years now and I'm finally in a position to get some more of my own. My friend and I are...
