Hello Fellow Chicken Lovers - We have a Blue Easter Egger, whose crop we cannot get to an emptty state. We first noticed a few weeks back that she was making funny head movements. Always having quite healthy chickens, it was about a week ago that we finally figured out she was having a crop...

I almost put this under Predators and Pests....Pests being the neighbors. Lol We live in fairly close proximity to other neighbors. Two of them have now had some kind of spraying service come and spray something all up into their yard trees. The spraying is similar to a fire hose! And it leaves...

I would love all of you more experienced chicken-keeping folks to let me know if this is normal chicken behavior, and if there is anything we should be doing about it. We have been keeping chickens for 2-1/2 years now, and a few days ago, we had our very first tragic predator attack! I thought...

We sadly lost our rooster the other morning. He was a really big and beautiful Welsummer, and the master of 8 hen ladies. He was only 1 year and 3 months old!! He has been healthy, active and well, right up until the moment he died, as far as we could ever tell. Our chicken run/yard runs very...

Hi Everyone! We need your insight, badly! I'm sorry these photos may be hard to look at, but wanted you to see the extent of what we are dealing with. Our rooster is a mess! And it's all due to the hens, who won't leave him alone! I don't know WHY he won't stand up to them, and just takes...

Hi there, egg-laying experts! I have a quick inquiry I have been meaning to get on here and ask you all. We have a flock of 6 hens and 1 rooster. Each of the hens are a different breed. We got them at a day old in July (on the 10th), and they will be 24 weeks on Christmas day. However, we...

Hey All!! - We are first time chicken owners, and could use some more experiences insight, regarding the behavior of our 10 week old Easter Egger. Although we have wanted to hold out hope it's a female, you all pretty much voted it's a roo, in this earlier thread...

Hi Chicken-Loving Friends! I've been SO excited to show everyone our chicken coop finally finished, which my husband worked so hard on for 8 weeks, every spare minute he had, which was pretty much only on weekends. The kids and I helped him as much as we were able but, he really did the real...

Hi All! As some of you know, we are new first-time chicken owners! I have a somewhat urgent question for you if you will, as our flock are 6 weeks old, and will be going into their almost-done coop in a matter of days! I've been researching for weeks about what we should be doing...

Hi Everyone! I'm new here, but have been reading around for over a year, as I educated myself and planned on getting chickens. We are (very excited) first time chicken owners, and we've been having a blast with them so far. We are in the process of building the coop! We ordered our...

Hi Everyone! I've been wanting to get chickens for years, and was just waiting to get all of our ducks in a row, first! (That was said as the expression. We don't have any ducks. Yet. Ha haha.). I've spent the last year reading a lot around here at BYC, and elsewhere all over the net...
