We have a broody hen that hatched 3 chicks the day before yesterday. Today she is not longer sitting on the eggs and hasnt been in the nest all day. We decided to candle the eggs and one started chirping and pippped in our hands. We quickly put it back! I could hear pecking inside another...

Buff Orphington/ Barred Rock mix Rooster He’s a big beautiful boy who needs a flock of his own. He has been raised as a pet in our backyard so he is very friendly. My son is very attached to this guy and would like him to go to his own flock where he will not become food but live a long happy...

Since I am new to this… Winner of the auction gets to pick their favorite one of the 3 roosters. These boys have been raised as pets and they love the ladies! We just have too many roosters. We thought we were collecting D’Uccle eggs and when they hatched realized they were from our...

My ds was out checking on the chickens one night and got a good laugh at what he found. Our little Sebright was roosting on our BO Roo's spurs, I have to admit that is likely the warmest place in the coop to sleep. Clever little girl! view from the door of the coop She always has been his...

We have had someone offer us a Golden/ Lab mix puppy. -What can you tell me about your dog? -How are they with your chickens? Ive researched the hybrid and they seem to be all around GREAT dogs. But I wanted to get more info from owners (expecially chicken owners) and am hoping BYC could...

For a few weeks now we have had a Red Shouldered Hawk hanging out at the pond close to our house. I can hear it calling and one day it flew right over our chickens, but did not bother any of them. We have 7 roosters crowing in the yard. 5 are in a enclosed coop/run and the 2 largest are free...

Our pullet has been acting strange for 2 days now. She has been stretching out her neck and making strange sounds. Very quiet nasel like squeek. She acts like she can not get air or something. She has no food in her gizzard. She acts week but does get up and walk the yard, just not very...

At first we thought these were Barred Rocks but I dont think Barred Rocks have the beard (at least not any I have seen). The other bird seems to light in color to me and her legs are not the same color as our Barred Rock (they're very yellow). These two are about 3 months old. Any thoughts?

So we thought we were collecting D'uccle eggs... boy were we wrong. LOL Seems our Sebright was laying instead, so here is what we got! Sebright/ D'Uccle's! Se'Uccles. We ended up with 3 roosters & 2 hens. They are actually VERY pretty and do have feathers on their feet. We have too many...

our second chick just hatched and the first chick was "helping" it out of the shell. It basically scratched at the shell a little. Baby #2 has a bleeding belly, should I be concerned? Or is this normal? My kids are concerned and I really just want to know what to tell them. The other chick...

A friend of mine sent this video to me and I couldnt resist sharing it... Im not sure this fellow would last long in my backyard, but I have to admire him for his lungs. lol Now THAT is a wakeup call!

Ive heard of people doing this but really dont understand how that would work. Wouldnt adding eggs cause issues for the added eggs once you go to lockdown? Since they will have been in the bator for a shorter time wouldnt they drowned or something? Im just very curious about this. Anyone...

Im still trying to figure out what is ok and what isnt. I looked on BYC but nothing was listed for Bell Peppers... Any thoughts?

Not sure what to do with or for this chick. She was fine and healthy as a day old chick but as time goes on her jaw is getting worse and her top beak looks larger than it should be. Does it look that way to you? She seems to be able to eat and drink Ok but it looks like the food is collecting...

My kids and I found 2 young puppies in the road. It was in a very rural area and there were no houses around...only fields. Mama was nowhere to be found nor did I see any other pups with them. We did look but it was getting dark so it was hard to see. My experience has been that mama dogs...
