So I've had the chicks in the house, today I put them in a big wire dog crate out in the yard to just let them get some fresh air and to let all the other animals start getting used to seeing them around and all that. Turns out, one of my hens is an *******. She keeps pecking at any of them that...

Her comb has always been dark, I keep reading that a red comb is healthy. Should I worry, or are some breeds just not red? Sorry for the awkward pictures, they're all I have of her. She doesn't sit still very often.

I'm sorry for so many posts, I know most of this is second nature to you guys. I'm in unfamiliar territory here and really just want to do my best to not lose another baby. Scratch, the chick I had who's sibling died, is still screaming his little head off. If anyone gets in his eyesight he...

Hi, I'm new here. I have 3 hens, good girls, they've been really simple and I've had no problems with them. Today, someone knocked at my door and handed me two two-day-old chicks. Said something got their hen and the rest of the chicks, they have zero interest in trying to keep them. They knew I...
