    Anyone found music chickens like?

    I don’t play music for them but my husband listens to a lot of music in their vicinity. I’ll have to ask him what they prefer

    Is my rooster a Purebred Ameraucana? Once again

    He has the correct leg color and beard, muffs but you would have to check the SOP to be sure about the color. And I can’t remember what comb style they’re supposed to have. Since true Ameraucanas have an SOP that is the best place to look.

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    I do indeed. Mostly nocturnal. Instead of losing my entire flock trapped in a box I will most likely lose the old, sick or stupid ones and eventually I will have a landrace savvy enough to survive and thrive. I am ok with some losses to achieve that goal. Right now they all sleep in a...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    I’m trying to get away from having a coop at all. I don’t care if they sleep in the barn but I am aiming for chickens that sleep in trees. I hate cleaning the coop. Granted the barn might get messy…

    It works because “that much further away” is often a fence, wall, or some other corner and then you go one way and the chicken goes the other-into the net. Alternatively you can box them in with the net against whatever they are trying to run into. I’ve only used nets with chicks and pullets but...

    My little grandson.

    Such a wonderful age. They know just enough to burn down the house and pretend they have not the slightest clue what the word “no” means unless they’re using it to shout at vegetables 😆

    Do i have a rooster after all. Her name is Eleanor & recently i saw her on the back of another pullet. She hasn't laid an egg or crowed. The black one

    These were some weird mix of Polish bantams and Black Copper Maran and very young—probably about one. As soon as I got rid of the obvious rooster Todd started crowing. Good thing we had already named him Todd I guess. I would say it was an age thing but the other rooster had been crowing for a...

    The fact you have another rooster might explain why he’s not crowing as well. Often the subordinate rooster won’t crow unless the dominant one is gone. That’s how I discovered I had two roosters once 😆

    What could cause the wound?

    I lost a five week old to a cat this year. Could be that as well. Hard to tell from the wound. Do you have some antibiotic ointment to keep on it?

    What could cause the wound?

    When you say they escaped where did they escape to? A chicken run? The great outdoors? The injury doesn’t appear to be from pecking and if the other pullet is missing it was likely eaten by whatever injured this one. What kinds of predators do you have where you are?

    My chickens seem to enjoy the rain. Not only do they drink it somehow (as evident in their decreased consumption of the water in their waterer) but there must be more bugs to eat then because they ignore their feed to run off into the bushes when it rains

    You can call him Elwood. How old is he?

    Is she blind in one eye?

    How does she react when you move your finger toward her eye? Does she startle easily? Does she ever spin in circles? Have you shined a flashlight in her eye to see how her pupil reacts?
