Hey everyone! I felt it was necessary to share a story of my favorite hen, Meeko. We got her back in either late 2012 or early 2013. We hatched her along with 5 other chicks. She turned out to be a Speckled Sussex Cochin mix, and came out beautiful in the process. Her siblings are Poofy Jr...

That's right. A big hawk - and it has a family. Last winter, two of my Indian Runner ducks were torn a part in the middle of our yard.. I felt so horrible because it only takes a few seconds for this to happen! We were gone for about 30 minutes, and the thing had managed to kill one of my...

Just a post for fun. I love seeing different breeds of all sorts, and it'd be great to see what chickens you have that you favor the most! It can be from the past, or from present. Begin! I'll start: My favorite chicken is my Red Laced Blue Wyandotte hen, Digger. She's my best baby-girl and...

Show off your prettiest and quirkiest bantams! There are no prizes, this is simply for the joy of it. Rules: -Do NOT take random images from online. I'd most likely be able to tell, but who knows. Use your own bantams and take images of them to show them off, don't just claim photos from...

I decided I'd share some images of my first flock, which we originally got in 2010/2011. We ordered a batch of 7 'hens', but came out with one rooster. This was my first and best flock; I had the best experience with them all, and all were my favorites and always will be. I only have some images...

Someone on another forum shared with some other people and I about how one of their chickens passed within 12 hours of an odd illness. Apparently there were only a few, vague, symptoms: -Clear liquid/drool coming from the beak -Clear liquid/? coming from the rear Supposedly the chicken was...

Ash, my blue cochin had gotten broody around 1+ week ago. We let her sit on 11 eggs, but 6 cracked because our annoying Indian Runner mix duck, Pebbles, kept kicking her out and stealing her spot, then whenever I or someone else entered the coop she would accidentally squish the eggs and flee...

She/he is 12 weeks old and an Ameraucana Buckeye Mix. Any guesses? I'm hoping pullet.. I already gave her a female name - Gylfie. She/he has never acted rooster-like, and has a tiny bit of cross beak. However, I know some roosters might not show behavior signs till later.

On July 26th, I lost one of my favorite chicks. She was a Quail Belgian Antwerp Bantam that we ordered from Murray McMurray Hatchery. She lasted about 11 weeks. Nova was diagnosed with cross beak, and not just any cross beak - but the severe case of cross beak. She seemed fine when we first...

These are two of my Red laced blue Wyandottes. I'm nearly 100% sure that the lighter one with the less red comb is a pullet. Is the one with more red on the face/comb a cockerel? I also noticed he has more red on his/her wings, too. I just want to confirm that it's a roo. They're both the same...

I'm going to be ordering 3 chicks: - Buff Orpington - Easter Egger - Blue Andalusian They're coming from Murray McMurray Hatchery - each at the age of 4 weeks. I need help with naming them, so I posted this to see what name suggestions you guys have? I might name the Orpington Goldie, since...

My neighbor has a 3 year old hen that is a Rhode Island Red mix. She has a small limp in her walk/run, and sometimes falls down when she is sprinting/running at an accelerated pace. We checked both the legs, and there are no visible injuries. It must be something internal? Maybe a sprain? I know...

We ordered him from Murray McMurray Hatchery. The types we ordered are: Old English Game Bantams Red Laced Blue Wyandottes Silver Laced Cochins Araucanas Sultans Belgian Antwerp Bantams Black Japanese Bantams I am convinced he's an OEG, but I want to be 100% sure. Any guesses?
