I went outside to check on my girls( I moved them into a bigger run) and I noticed that one was acting weird. One of my chickens kept trying to get under the dominant chicken, it was as if she was a chick trying to get under the momma hen. These girls turned a year this month and I have never...

I recently got a new wyandotte chicken to add to my two chicken flock and a week or two later my EE stopped laying. She isn't being bullied, she's the middle one in the pecking order and is the main bully to the new chicken. Could it be that she's stressed on being a bully lol.? Or could it be...

Can anyone tell me some good heat hardy egg laying chicken breeds.? It can get to 110 out here in SoCal so I want to get a chicken that can take the heat good. I have a barred rock and EE who are okay with the heat, my EE suffers more with her wings far apart and she pants. But I throw bottles...

I have to chickens as of right now and every morning my barred rock does an screeching Caw CAW sound and I think it's because the EE chicken is still in the coop and she wants her out. I was thinking of maybe adding a third chicken that way at least one of them will be with the barred rock so...

Good morning everyone, it's raining today.! :D finally in SoCal.! But, my chickens are soaked wet.! They have a coop but they are out in the run cawing and scratching and walking back and fourth at the door. Is it bad if my chickens are all wet.? :( it's 66 degrees so it's not that cold.

This week it will reach to 108 F Would that be too hot for my chickens.? :( I don't want them to die of overheating that's horrible.!

Right now my EE did a watery poop.! It was clear and had like a light white swirl but majority of it was clear and jelly/watery like. Is this normal.?!

Today I was holding Talulah my EE and I was letting her back and then I held her neck gently and she slowly closed her eyes and her head just dangled and she stayed like that till I moved my hand.!! I guess that made her feel very comfortable.? It was strange lol.!
