    Ended Poultry Shaming Contest!

    We had a pile of feathers in our front yard once(not chicken) and I told my 10 year old with straight serious face that a bird exploded and he believed me🤣🤣🤣 looked like this mess

    Pecking Order

    Someone suggested a yank to her feathers like a peck(not hurt her) and she makes the same cluck sound the others make when she pecks them. She seems to respond by backing off so I'm thinking that she is just very alpha bird as the other 2 don't appear to be afraid of her. If she pecks them they...

    I like one certain laying basket and if someone else is in it I'll sit on them or squawk extremely loud until they leave. (Yes we have more then 1 laying basket)

    Pecking Order

    After 7 months now we feel we are confident in our newbie flock raising... I do have questions about pecking order and the behaviors associated. Our 3 girls are 7 months now, Winnie is a buff brahma, Penny is a Black Asian and Snowy is the sweetest Leghorn you've ever met. The Buff Brahma is...

    Buff Brahma biting

    It's funny, my son and I were looking at them out a slider and they were standing at the door watching us and we thought they were probably wondering why the humans were in a cage🤣🤣 our Black Asian has facial expressions, the shape of her eyes change when she looks at you and you can tell she...

    Buff Brahma biting

    We will try the pecking her back with our fingers to try and stop the pecking. She is a sweet bird, just a little dominant. My son is now very aware not to pick her up to eye level and just simply lift her to under his arm.

    Buff Brahma biting

    She has been super cuddly(you could rub your face on hers she was so sweet) up until recently, I'm assuming as she has matured and started laying. She goes after shoes sometimes or if you try to pick up the other chickens she wants to bite your feet sometimes. Maybe she feels like the flock...

    Buff Brahma biting

    Our buff brahma Winnie, is 6 months and the last month or so she has been biting us. When she's laying or in the coop she bites. If you pick her up and she doesn't want to be held , she bites. Today my 12 year old picked her up and had her at eye level and she bit him just below the eye. She's...

    Leghorn 🤔🤔🤔???

    The leghorn is very petite next to the other 2 as well. I don't know the difference between a bantam or a brahma but I'm assuming that is the difference in size?

    Leghorn 🤔🤔🤔???

    Yes, they are bothering my sulcata😅 he's still getting used to them. They all like to huddle in this playhouse when it's hot (we are in southern California).

    Leghorn 🤔🤔🤔???

    We are brand new to chickens. We have 3(leghorn, cochin and asian black) and they are about 12 weeks.... My question is this leghorn. We assume "she" because TSC said so 😅 I was just curious about her very pale pink comb instead of the red I've seen in pictures. The other 2 chickens combs are...

    Our yard has fleas

    That's what I wanted to know. I read they eat them but I don't imagine they can help control it thought. But good to know

    Bobbles the tiny call duckling growth thread!

    My kids are dying to have duckies but we aren't permitted to even have the chickens that we do let alone those noisy critters. He is so cute though, he looks snuggly. I would have him in the house❤❤
