My young hens were kind of laying eggs here and there, so to encourage them to lay in the nest box, I put two ceramic decoy eggs in there. The next morning they were gone. GONE gone, like where did they go? Would the chickens have booted them out (buy why wouldn't I find them) or did a skunk...

Hi! I got this girl as a chick, sold as an Ameraucana. I am suspecting she is actually an Easter Egger. I don't really care... I will love her either way... but I'm curious what you all think?

Three weeks old.

My chickens (Lilly, Lucy, Cindy and Annie) were recently killed by my neighbor's dog, that broke through the fence. He offered to "pay for them," but how do you pay somebody back for the loss of members of their family? Anyway, I just got four new chicks who are in a brooder in my house. And...

I joined here a long time ago when I had three chickens, but I have four now. So my Tres Pollos name is inaccurate. A couple of years ago, I went to buy new cowboy boots and they had a trough full of chicks (it's a feed store, too). A sign over the trough said, "Please do not handle the...

One of my hens occasionally sets up another new place to nest in my yard. I'd like to keep her in one place, but she won't stay there if I take all her eggs. So I've been leaving one. Will she know when that one egg is old/rotten? Should I use a fake egg instead?

Warning: gross picture. My Brahma hen (1 1/2 years old) was going through a molt, so looking pretty ragged. No bald spots, but lots of missing feathers and pinfeathers. So I kind of left her alone. About three weeks ago, I picked her up and noticed she smelled bad. So I flipped her over and...

Our favorite chicken, who chased after my husband to sit on his lap, started showing symptoms about a month ago.. lethargic, didn't want to be picked up. The other chickens were fine. I took her to the vet, who didn't find anything wrong, but recommended worming. I asked him to give her...

First three pics are of the Brahma, second two are of the BO. I know I need some better pics, but let me know if you can sex them based on these? Thanks!

Hi! I'm in Albuquerque, NM, where a lot of people have backyard chickens. Some are even free range front yard chickens with no fences, resting in the shade with the dogs. Of course we have the folks with coops that are fancier than my house, too. I have wanted chickens forever and have five...
