I haven't been here in a while, just don't have the time, so I figure now that my birds are all grown up I should post some fun pics of us free ranging. It took a few days of their coop being open for them to really come out, but now they come running after me when I open their door in the...

I finally measured my coop because I was curious to see how many birds I can put in there for everyone to be content. I currently have 7 (one is in isolation for now) and my coop is 9'2"x11'3" with eight nest boxes that they don't use yet. I measured the run and it's 11x11', so according to my...

I have a 4 1/2ish month old Columbian Wyandotte boy... The past few weeks (well I noticed then anyways), he's been breathing funny. Not a fast mouth opened pant, but beak closed and breathing deep and labored. His tail bops up and down with the heaves even, and it's very evident when he's...

Chickens are highly addictive critters. I had 22 layers years ago (Black sex link, red sussex, leghorns) and kept three pets from that bunch. They have all since passed away and I just got back into birds from a 2 year hiatus lol. After researching all the different types of breeds, I decided...

I have one Silver Wyandotte chick who is a complete *** hat! Since I got them a month ago this one has always been really confrontational with the others after I added 5 Columbians to the mix (all same age roughly). He'll flap around running at, 'spurring', face pecking and mounting anyone...

I was remembering these bugs my birds got once, they were light brown and about 1 1/2 mm long and had a hard flat back kinda like a beetle. I was holding my sick hen and they jumped into my hair, I kinda freaked out and jumped in the shower. They were easy to wash out of my hair but then I...

Can someone spell it out to me how to directly post pictures? I can't wrap my head around it. I use photobucket and everytime I go to paste the link a dialog window comes up to say because of my brower security settings the editor cannot direct link. All I can do is post links to my photos...

I finally got my cheep cheeps :-) Seven Wyandottes (five columbians, two silvers) and one Ameraucana. I had them in the house for a few weeks while I was still cleaning the coop, and I wanted them in my space for a while until I felt confident they were all healthy enough not to be checked on...

Probably a stupid question but if anyone lets chickens hatch their own eggs, how is it exactly done? How would you know which eggs are fertilized?

Hey there, I got eight chicks this week... Five Columbian Wydonettes, four silver laced, and one Ameraucana... One of my silvers isn't looking very well. She's pretty weak and wobbly. She woke me up out of bed the other night after falling in their water dish (I since got the proper one from...

We used to have chickens and have been birdless the last year and a half. My beloved pet out of all the layers was my beloved Emma, a red sussex. When she passed away it almost killed me so i didn't want to get more birds anytime soon. Since then we moved to a place with a coop, nice size for...
