OK. here it is. I have two dogs, Lily age 7 and Luke age 2. Lily is a terrier mix, Luke is a bluetick beagle. They are both very much a part of our family. We had Lily before we even had kids. Luke is an absolute, snuggly darling. Both of them have begun killing chickens. The first time the...

I bough two chicks from Tractor Supply in Feb that were both supposed to be Colombian Rocks. Now, don't get me wrong, I love ALL chickens, but I am a little peeved that they are not what they were supposed to be. One of them turned out to be a silver laced wyandotte, but their feathers didn't...

This was supposed to be a Columbian Rock but we got two from TSC and this one looks very different from the other! I *think* it's a silver laced wyandotte but will you all please tell me? I bow to your expertise. :) Chickie is between 6 and 7 weeks old. Also, pullet or roo? PLEASE SAY...

We have a bluetick/beagle hound mix who is around a year old. We got him from the local animal shelter, where he was placed by his previous owner (a hunter) because he did not show any interest whatsoever in hunting. We have had him since last august (8 months) and he has been mostly...

My Blue wyandotte went broody about ten days ago, so we got her some fertilized eggs from a friend of ours to sit on. Apparently some of the eggs were already developing, while the others had just been fertilized before we got them. We candled the eggs a few nights ago and about half of the...

I have made a very costly newbie mistake. :'( We bought one full grown hen and attempted to integrate her with our full grown flock of four. It went terribly. We were hesitant to remove her because we didn't want the whole process to start over, so we used blue kote on her wound and let her stay...

Today I noticed that one of my EE chicks has a crossed beak. I didn't notice it until today. I'm having a hard time telling if she is eating or not, all the chicks feel the same to me. Here are some pictures. I'm concerned about how much worse it's going to get if it looks like this at 2...

What kind are they? Any chance they would lay eggs for me? They were runts I rescued.

I rescued these chickens from a place that raises chickens for meat. These were the "runts" and were just going to be killed. :( My in laws took all 40 runts and are going to raise them up bigger for butchering. But when I saw how sad and dirty they were (they were clearly in close quarters) I...

Hello! I just saved two "runt" chicks from a place that raises chickens for meat. They usually just kill the runts and compost them. :( We were looking to add a couple of chickens to our flock, and when I saw these, dirty, sad birds (a lot of them were pecked) it was clear they were kept in very...

I have a 2 month old chick missing. I have NO IDEA what happened!! She was locked up with her sisters in a ten foot tall fenced area, with chicken wire wrapped around the bottom. She is completely GONE. No peeping, no body, nothing. What happened? Is it possible that she wandered off? Or is it...

I lost two chickens last night (6 weeks old) and I am probably going to replace them. However, we are limited on space, so I can only buy 2 or 3 chicks. Is that enough? Do you need to buy more at a time then that? WIll they do OK with only a couple of them? Also, at what point is it safe to...

Yesterday it rained all day here, so I didn't go out to check on the chickens. My husband and I usually both check on them during the day, but I saw that their ramp was down (it raises and lowers) so I assumed he had checked on them and they were all accounted for. Apparently, two of them (Red...

I posted about a week ago about some chicks that my husband bought us. We've had them for a week now and some feathers are really coming in! I just can't figure out what breed they are. (He bought them at tractor supply under "production red layers". I think we have two different breeds but...

My husband picked up some chicks today as a surprise. I just wanted to know how old you think they might be? He forgot to ask how old they were when he bought them. And yes, I am aware that there is a duck in the picture, I haven't been bamboozled into thinking it's a chicken, lol. I'm so...
