So sorry it’s been a while but THANK YOU for your responses. There were no symptoms beforehand. Eating and drinking normally, seemed energetic, everything seemed fine. She was my favorite girl, of course Sure will miss her.

one of my otherwise healthy black australorp girls was found dead in the henhouse this morning. She was just lying on her side, no blood or ruffled feathers or other signs of attack. Was laying daily, eating well... any ideas what could’ve killed her?

Ten weeks old... pullets?

:weeThank you!

Here's a good face shot

It might take me a little bit to get better pics, but I'll try

Here are pics of my 6 week old BA chicks. They are supposed to be pullets (ordered through a hatchery). Can anyone confirm this for me? I really love their sweet personalities ❤️

I have a small flock of 7 (6 hens and a roo). They have a covered run that is 10x20 but they LOVE to come out and peck around the yard...which isn't a big deal EXCEPT we have hawks out the ying yang where I live. Free rangers- how do you do it with out driving yourself nuts thinking about...

We have so many hawks around where I live. It is so frustrating. I feel like we can never let them just roam around without constantly being on the lookout.

She doesn't actually mate with the other hen, just stomps her feet all around her and raises her hackles. The roo has been mating them all for the past several months (he is close to a year old) and as far as I can tell, he does all of his roosterly duties (finding the hens food in the yard...

My Salmon Faverolle roo "Okra" is a big baby. He is the sweetest chicken in the flock! Lets us snuggle him...finds treats for his girls and feeds them with his beak...always protects them. He is a big, sweet goofball and we just love him!

Just curious if anyone else has an Alpha Hen that does a 'rooster dance' at the next highest ranking hen in the flock? We have one rooster and six hens. 'Aunt Bea' is definitely dominant...and she lets everyone know it. Today I saw her doing the dance and flaring out her hackles a bit, as if to...

Aww, hooray for Twisty! Such valuable life-lessons are learned from keeping chickens. I figured as long as she is getting food and water and has some companionship, she can lead a happy life. I will accommodate her needs the best I can. I watched Speckles a little while ago and noticed that...

I recently bought two Barred Rock hens. The first day I had them at home I placed them in the run and took my existing flock out to range to give the new ones time alone in the run. One of the first things I noticed was one of the hens (Speckles) literally bumped her head on a roost in the...

I got them from a local farm that raises and sells chickens locally. They actually had them listed as "Ameraucana" but I can definitely tell they are EE's. They are loveable little mutts for sure! Sweetest little chickens in my flock.

Well darn, I guess I will just have to be surprised then.

I have two EE pullets who will soon be laying. Just out of curiosity...is there any way one can tell what color eggs they will lay? I know some folks swear by earlobe color, etc, in other breeds, and I didn't know if there was any way to tell with an EE. (Not that it really matters, of course! )
