Thank you for clicking! These girls are in a tough situation and really could use some help, or at least word of mouth to anyone you might know looking for some pet chickens. I volunteer with a local park that has had a flock of chickens on the premises for years. They are used to being around...

Hey Chicken friends! Once upon a time I came across a chart/infographic that was circulating around here on all of the different animals that like to eat chickens. Would anyone happen to have that on hand? It was a picture of some chickens in/near a coop and then a bunch of images of all of the...

Hello! I have been around BYC for a while, but for those who may not know, I volunteer with a history park that has a flock of chickens housed in a historic coop building pictured here (the coop is the building on the right): As you can see, these chickens are somewhat public access, so the...

I know this is a weird request but, hear me out--I need evidence of a chicken fart. Asking for a friend. 😆 I figure with how many of us have phones on us at all times and are constantly recording our chickens that somewhere out there someone is bound to have captured this behavior on video. If...

I noticed one of the Welsummer hens at the coop I volunteer with has had some poop stuck to her butt fluff below the vent for a few days now. I thought it would fall off or she'd clean it like they usually do when this happens, but today it looked like more was stuck higher up by the vent...

So I have noticed some of the hens in the flock doing this every once in a while. Does it mean anything? I caught the old Brahma hen doing it a couple of times on video. What do you think? (Sorry for the noisy Dominique in the foreground, she walked up to me looking for treats when I squatted...

I volunteer with a flock of hens at a local history park and have had fun learning about their different breeds. All except one. I have no idea what she is and no one at the park seems to either. She is an older hen and arrived long before anyone currently working there. Maybe she is a chicken...

Need help identifying possible scaly leg mites. For context, these hens are owned by a local history park that I volunteer with. We were trimming their nails today because most of them are old and arthritic and don't scratch much, so they don't wear down their nails very well. I took the...

I volunteer for a local history park with their flock of chickens. When I went and checked on them yesterday morning, I was greeted with the sight of blood all over the coop floor and a huddled polish that I call "Fancy Brown." We've had to keep them inside for a day or two during the recent...

Hey all! I've posted some of my art here before and thought maybe some folks might be interested in tossing their name in the hat for an art raffle I'm doing to celebrate a follower milestone on instagram. :) Here's the link to the post: You can win a speedpaint of a photo of yours (your...

Hey all! The local history park coop I help out with has had a suspicious problem with eggs suddenly being broken open and all the inside goop being gone/splashed everywhere in the nesting boxes. I picked up this egg the other day and saw what looked like the beginnings of some henpecking. Is...

Can someone help me navigate to where I go to turn off all email notification? I still want alerts to threads I've posted in, but don't want e-mails about them. I have clicked the "unsubscribe" button in the e-mails but they don't seem to be working as I keep getting the e-mails.

I got to make some printable chicken stickers this month for my patrons and just had to share the images here...mostly because I feel like they will be more appreciated here than anywhere else online, haha. So I turned my favorite girls into stickers for people to enjoy. From left to right, top...

Just thought you guys might like this as much as I did. x)

I found this video buried in the vaults of YouTube and I think it is my new favorite song. I knew I had to share it here because I am sure you all can appreciate it as much as I do: ...seriously. I can't stop singing it. This video should absolutely be viral.

I am watching my friend's hens for the next month. She has two Barred Rocs, a Buff Orpington, and three ISA Browns. It's the browns that are getting pecked the most, but I've observed all of them doing it. Even a Brown pecking another Brown. Two of the Browns seem to be on the receiving end of...

I volunteer at a local history park with their chicken coop and just got an e-mail that they are thinking of euthanizing my favorite hen. She's an old Barred Cochin that I call Macy Gray. :( She has a bad foot and no one is quite sure what happened. I asked the director and she said the hen was...

Hello everyone! I am a teacher-turned-illustrator living in the Rockies west of Denver. I am hoping to get into homesteading one day when I get a house and that definitely includes chickens! I've been doing a lot of research over the past few months and always end up here, so I figured I may as...
