Thank you everyone. I have been in denial about her/him but today when I was giving them some pumpkin I was admiring the feathers and then really started to look at him/her. I hope he is nice and a good keeper of his ladies. I love this new little crew we have, it was so sad to lose my other...

Linda, I hope He is very much like yours then! no bullies allowed. tee hee.

oh Man. I am worried to take it on perhaps because of the unknown, always had girls, and my sister just got her surprise Roo and he is quite vicious. But maybe we will let them free range if he is with them? We lost our last flock, 8 girls to a Fox family.....

Could this pretty Hen be a Henry? She is crazy neurotic and a worrier. She/He is about 3.5 mos old...... an Easter Egger. Any help would be appreciated.

HUGS!! That is just awful, I have no thoughts on what to give them to eat but you should have a good strong cup of tea and relax now! We have been dodging hawks left and right all winter here. I wish the Hawks would go after the moles that have created a city in my front yard rather than my hens!

This is just terrible!! I am very sorry and will be thinking of you and your daughter!

Thank you everyone!!! I still cannot believe that after me worrying and fretting over the birds losing their lives that I ended up taking one. It makes me sick. The poor girl, thinking she was safe hiding from the hawk!!

I have been up and down all winter saving chickens from multiple Hawk attacks, bathing one when she had a prolapsed egg, helping my molting chicken in freezing temps. The other day I looked out the kitchen window and saw yet another huge hawk flying low from the coop. Ugh! I was on my way out...

LOLOL You got that right!

Thank you for listening/reading. I have my husband stopping for more oyster shell tonight. my egg bound girl must have had a broken egg in her earlier, this her nasty sate before the new egg was bound?? she is really a mess looking and I guess not all was expelled after her first 2 baths and...

sorry!!

I have to tell someone that will sympathize with me. what a crazy 20 mins I just had!!!!!!! To start, I have a chicken molting. ???????? she picked a horrible time to do this. Last night I noticed she could not "fly" up to the roost to sit with the other girls and so I picked her up and...

That is going to look great!! Share a pic when it is all done!

That sounds good Shiloh, we have hook eyes to keep our doors open, I think this was just absent mindedness on my part or my 9 year olds.

one little sneaky hen is hiding her stash. We discovered her first stash which was 4 eggs and removed them, the other day we found this one. I have been leaving them locked into their coop and run until I feel I have all the eggs, they are so ticked off at me! I am not sure how to stop this...

Thanks for sharing in my funny story. Love the Lassie comment!!

woop woop that is great!!!

I feel so bad, but I am in awe too! they free range all day, it was raining out. Myself or my son went out to the coop to check in after eggs and maybe one of us closed the door to the coop that afternoon? In any case, the sun went down and we ( my family and I) were all in the kitchen when a...

Australorp eggs are brown. I have one Australorp, she is such a nice Hen! Cornish Bantams lay Brown eggs too. Have fun, it is always so exciting when they start to lay.

Gosh I had no idea there was actually a term for this "singing" I have some LOUD ladies and I get paranoid about it and like you run out and thrown them scratch and goodies. (That is why they are probably singing!!) When mine are the loudest however is after one just laid an egg and she is...
