So poor little Coco, my 2 year old Welsummer, was limping badly for a week. It seemed to get worse, although she was still eating well and laying. I thought she must be in pain and couldn't get up to roost with the rest of the girls. Coco also had a lump on her back which I thought might be...

Hi all, I saw that MPC has a new offering, a partridge olive egger. I am looking for a bird that lays a dark army green egg. Is anyone here familiar with this type of olive egger? They say they lay vivid color eggs, but only in a medium size.

Does anyone know what breed of chicken this is? So cute! Any info is appreciated.

Hi, I have an adorable easter egger that lays a large, beautiful moss green egg. However, almost every time she lays there is poop on the shell. Sometimes a lot, but most times a little. I do not have this problem with the other five chickens. Their eggs are almost always clean, and their diet...

My little Goldie was the first one to start laying eggs at 8 months out of my crew of six. She laid a yolkless egg a couple of times in the beginning. Now she's almost a year and has laid at least four or five shelless eggs on the infrequent occasion when she lays at all. This is starting to get...

My Wellsummer, Cocoa, is giving me a run for my money with her broody behavior. I've been trying to nip it in the bud and take her off the nest every time I see her digging in. This seems to work for a while and then she goes back again, and we do it all over again. I noticed a large bald spot...

Hi all, My six girls just love to dust bathe and they often hang in groups and kick up sand on one another. I was enjoying the show today when I noticed one of girls go up to another and start "grooming" her feathers, pulling out bits of sand and down with it. The one being groomed didn't seem...

Hi all, My granddaughter wants to paint a mural on the outside of my new coop using spray paint, but my chickens are penned in right next to it. I can't let them free range. I'm worried the fumes from the spray can be dangerous. Can anyone recommend a non toxic spray paint for this project...

Hi all, A little advice, please. I got four one day old chicks all raised together and all friends, three full size (Welsummer, Red Star, and Marans, and a darling little buff Silkie bantam.) They're about 15 weeks now. Then because I couldn't leave well enough alone, I got two EE pullets from...

Hello, I just got these two Ameraucaunas from our local feed store because I wanted blue eggs and I've been assured they're hens. I'm a new chicken owner and not so sure. What do you think? They are about six or seven weeks old. Also the white one has tufts but the wheaten really doesn't yet...

Hi all. I'm brand new to raising chickens. Just got four babies two and half weeks ago from mypetchicken and they are doing very well. After doing some research I ordered a Welsummer (Coco), a Buff Silkie bantam (Goldie), a Red Star (Scarlett) and an Easter Egger named Violet. My question is...
