    California - Northern

    Hello! I have a very familiar sad story: chick sexed female, family falls in love, turns out to be a male, can't keep due to ordinances, etc., etc. Daisy crowed for the first time this morning so the family finally accepts that we have to let him go. He was sold to us as a mottled English...

    California - Northern

    Hello Northern California! I live in Tracy (Central Valley) and keep a small flock of layers. My 13 yr old just joined 4H and he would like to get a couple of show quality birds. He is interested in large fowl. I just ordered the American Standard of Perfection and know nothing about...

    Mystery death of our sweet chicken

    So sorry for your loss. We recently lost a lovely hen over night, no symptoms. I took her for a necropsy and the vet said she bled to death internally (her comb was pale when we found her). Her liver fractured from Fatty Liver Hemorrhagic Syndrome. He said it is very common for pet hens...

    Sudden Death Necropsy Results

    Thanks Kathy. We have a compost pile the girls spend a lot of time in. I wonder if we should remove it/fence it off.

    Sudden Death Necropsy Results

    My six month old Black Australorp (Pearl) suddenly died yesterday. She seemed fine the day before, although I noticed her comb looked pale but she had just laid an egg so I attributed it to that. The next morning she wasn't talking to me when I let the hens out of the coop as usual and she...

    The Well Composed Chicken -- Small prize offered!

    This is Beatrice, our super sweet Speckled Sussex. Although she is the smartest chicken in the flock, she is the bottom chicken. You can find her contemplating quantum mechanics or how the closest relative of the T. Rex ended up on the bottom of the food chain. She laid her first egg this week!
