    Why do my chickens sit on each other?

    Has any one else had this experience? I have two nestboxes but my girls fight over the one they like the best. For some reason, they occasionally sit on top of each other in the nestbox, trying to use it at the same time. Is that strange or what? I took a video of it and you can see it here...

    Spying on my chickens being goofy!

    My chickens sometimes break out into ear-splitting clucking sessions like this after one of them lays an egg. They're so noisy! Here, I filmed them through my living room window which looks out into the coop - sorry about the glare from the glass. Do other people's chickens cluck this loudly? To...

    China disgusts me

    Their record in the treatment of animals hast to be the worst in the world. They are barbaric. This story is sickening and it makes me angry. I think the world needs to boycott China until they decide to drag themselves out of prehistoric times and join the rest of the world living in the 21st...

    Video of Lucy laying an egg

    I just posted a video of my speckled sussex Lucy laying an egg on youtube. I had propped my camera in the coop and let it run. I was surprised to see that I had captured her laying her 3rd egg on video! My husband edited it and added cute music. You can see it here:

    Oh, I'm so mad

    at my neighbors. Their dogs came over the 6ft high fence that separates our properties and killed 3 of our chickens a little more than a month ago. We sent them a bill for the damage caused, including a vet bill for the one of our hens who was injured in the attack. Today, after waiting a month...

    Help! Noisy Chicken!

    I don't know what to do about my speckled sussex's noisiness. She bellows so loudly in the morning that I'm worried my neighbors will complain. I purposely chose this breed and my cochin because I thought they would be quiet and docile. Is noisiness a trait of sussex, does anyone know? It was...

    Yokohamas?

    Does anyone own any Yokohamas? If so, I would be interested to know about their temperment, how they do in a mixed flock (the hens, not the roosters). Please, I've already checked the Henderson Breed chart, and the entries about them on both feathersite and Ideal. I'm interested in knowing what...

    Red Caps

    Hi, is anyone here familiar with or own any Red Caps? I can't find much info on them. There aren't many photos of them on feathersite and there is a lack of info/photos for them elsewhere online. Does anyone have any photos of the hens? How big do the hens' combs get? Are they good layers? What...

    Dog Attack

    I suffered a loss to a dog attack today and my heart is broken. I lost 3 of my 5 precious young hens - my Light Brahma, my Ameraucana and my Barred Rock. It was a horrible scene to return home to - their bodies all lined up under their favorite tree, their heads tucked beneath their wings. The...
