Hi folks. Good to be back in the land of the chickens. I've got a 6wo brabanter who had pasty butt and now has lopsided wings and a crooked tail. My older daughter and I have bathed her twice gently -- once for pasty butt and once for just having a messy backside. We're treating our 13 (6w - 8w...

My "too old" RIR started laying recently (Yeah!!) and I sort of suspect this was her egg based on where I found it in the coop under her not al roosting spot. I saw sometimes laying at night on the roost happens once in a while. But I can't find anything about the weird two tones of the color on...

Hi I'm Mary. I bought a coop in Craigslist and four hens as well. I can't believe how fast we fell in love. I've had them for a week now and have three eggs from one of them but none from the others yet. I thought I had two RIRs, a Red Star, and what the guy called a yellow buff...but now I am...
