    Chicken Myths/Rumors: True or False, Please Share!

    You mean there are people out there who really think that birds have some sort of mammary glands? And that newly hatched chicks have cheeks and can suckle? Good Lord. We are doomed.

    Bad Egg

    Yes I'm going to try this. Thank you. I've never heard of those. I'm researching them now. Totally. I just don't want that face to be the last thing one of my little girls see!

    Bad Egg

    I'm having trouble integrating my 8 "new girls" with my 5 "old girls" due to one hen who is just plain mean. "Pickles" has always been a bit of a bully. She is a Easter Egger who sometimes will bloody the combs of the other birds (2 Barred Rocks ands 2 Buffs) that she lives with. When hand...

    Odd’s thread of names! (I can suggest names for individual birds, too!)

    My names aren't creative but rather utilitarian. We name the birds after things they can't eat that way the kids can remember what not to feed them. We have : Pickles, Olive, Peanut, Coffee, Chocolate Chip, Butter (aka "The Butter Bird"), French Fry, etc.

    Any artists out there?

    Haha! That’s what I get from scrolling too fast, trying not to get caught looking at “backyardchickens” when I’m supposed to be working. Anyway, the end result is just awesome.

    Any artists out there?

    Thank you Amer. Yeah I liked the idea of diving Puffins encountering a whale. I figure it must happen in real life but it’s a scene that we rarely - if ever - get to see. Puffins swimming at the surface and a whale surfacing nearby? Sure. But the birds underwater was an idea I explored in a few...

    Love the Peregrine! I don't have any bird stuff on my computer, but here's some whale stuff I did last year during quarantine :

    Asking for a friend

    I know when people say "asking for a friend" they are usually asking for themselves, but in this case I really am asking for a friend! I have no dog... err... chicken in this fight. A friend sent me these photos of a roughly 3-month-old Copper Maran that she suspects may be a cockerel. I have...

    Poll- how did your flock begin?

    Classic "chicken or the egg?" question

    Need to Vent

    I'm sorry you had to experience this tough decision and the associated guilt as I did but, as others have reassured me in this thread, if he was indeed "super aggressive" you did the right thing and I'm sure you gave him a great life for as long as you could - waaaaay better than he would have...
