    Tips on keeping chickens away from cars?

    Our chickens are free-range and go pretty much anywhere they want. They have learned that people=food and will chase down anyone as soon as they hear the front door open and follow us to the car. And I think they’re beginning to learn that cars=people as well They move away when you start to...

    Chicken birthmarks?

    Do chickens get birthmarks, or pass them down? The internet hasn’t told me anything but I’ve been curious for a while because a lot of our bigger chicks over the years have had this exact same black spot on their backs! They’re all mixed breeds from our flock so no there’s telling what it is.

    Hen lethargic and screams when eating

    She eats layer feed I think, also sometimes black oil sunflower seeds and cracked corn. My chickens free range so it’s hard to say exactly what she could’ve eaten but I don’t believe she had access to anything moldy. There is rat poison in our barn but those areas are mostly gated off and she...

    Hen lethargic and screams when eating

    Update. She pooed and it was VERY liquidy. We gave her apple cider vinegar mixed with water in case it is sour crop, had to syringe it down because she will not drink. She fought VERY hard not to have her mouth open or neck moved so I’m worried it might be something hurting her throat. She...

    Hen lethargic and screams when eating

    My absolute favorite hen is sick with SOMETHING. Absolutely no clue what. She didn’t come when I shook their grain like they usually do. I had to look for her and found her hiding in her favorite spot in the shade. She is super friendly and will come to you if you call her but even sitting...

    Orange chick with silver stripes?

    It could be possible that another hen is the mother, I just suspected it was hers because I see her sitting on them most. I also have a australorp hen and a small gray hen (I haven’t identified yet but looks kind of like a thin sapphire gem) both of which I have seen sneaking in to sit on or...

    Orange chick with silver stripes?

    Thank you! I believe the broody hen is my only welsummer hen, she looks like a gold/red to me. Here’s my welsummer and australorp roosters as well, And the four of their mixed offspring. And also the two other mystery roosters that I think might be Orpington mixes, I’ll definitely...

    Orange chick with silver stripes?

    I have a few other chicks which are mysteries too, but not as confusing as this one. It’s the most vibrant and unusual chick I’ve ever seen. It’s mother is a welsummer, I know for sure. It’s father could be a welsummer or an australorp, but I have no clue how a chick would look like this. I...
