We are losing our home and need to find a loving forever home for our two girls. They are sweet and quiet, and very spoiled. They free range in the back yard and are used to lots of treats. Zoey is an easter egger, Little Red is a RR. They have pretty much stopped laying eggs, Zoey will lay...

We lost one of our girls to internal laying a few months ago, leaving Penny an "only child". Penny is a RIR and is approximately 2 years old. Penny has a great personality, but is a dominant hen. We brought her in the house to be a house chicken since she was apparently very lonely, but it...

We seem to have a cooper's hawk in the neighborhood. It swooped down over the backyard (right over our 2 RIR's), then flew up over the fence and into the yard behind us. I've read that's how they hunt - flying low then swooping up over something to catch their prey by surprise. I'm not sure...

We used to have a lawn - then we got chickens. We live in the city and find the birds are much quieter and happier if we let them free range in the back yard all day. They have a lovely run, but make all kinds of racket if I don't let them out. I don't want to risk angry neighbors, so I cave...

I'm expecting my first order of layer feed on the 29th, but only need about 20 lbs of the 50 lbs that are coming (I only have 2 birds). When it arrives, I'll post in the for sale area if anyone locally wants to buy in. With shipping, it came out to about $1.30/lb. Kinda pricey, but I'm...

We have 2 RIR's that are about 11 - 12 weeks old. One chirps and clucks like a proper lady - the other one has been "honking" lately. Is that normal? She appears to be healthy, but sounds like a goose! Could she have a lung problem (she doesn't have a runny nose or sound conjested)...

We're super new to chickens and didn't realize we might have a problem ... both of our chicks started to grow larger on their right side breast. Never having chickens before, we thought is was odd, but since they were both developing the same, assumed it was normal (we noticed this a couple...

We thought we had two hens, however, we're starting to wonder. The darker one (Penny) has developed a more pointed tail and has been seen ruffling "her" neck feathers in a way the other one doesn't. I'm thinking "Penny", might be a "Lenny". Any thoughts? Rosie wouldn't sit nice for the...

Hubby and I are city folks, but have always been in love with chickens. We finally broke down and got 2 RIR chicks -- they're more fun than we ever imagined. Sorry we waited sooo long (we're both 50ish). Hubby's almost finished with their coop. The run is complete and the "girls" have been...
