It's hard to watch, huh. She'll be ok. Sometimes they molt worse than at other times. Make sure you're offering her more calcium (Oyster shell or whatever you use) because she's using quite a bit up to produce those new feather shafts. If she needs it, she'll eat it. If not, she won't. Try to...

Ahhhhh! Thank you. Makes sense. Pretty much everything my boys do is to entice the girls so.... I probably should've made that connection. LOL

Are you talking about a kind of Stevie Wonder kind of head bob sort of? LOL I don't know how else to describe it. :D If so...both of my Roos do this every once in awhile, during the day and have for a couple months now since becoming mature. I assumed it to be normal Roo behavior. Kind of like...

Hmmm... Look up "Polish chicken" and "Frizzle chicken". Might be able to find it that way. Also look up "Swedish Flower Hen". She kind of favors that breed as well. Looks kind of muddy. I wonder if she's a mix.

Chose dog because they kill for fun and will kill 'em ALL - and fast - if they get a chance.

I don't wanna get all Captain Buzz-Kill here but, Coyotes jump 6' fences and walls like they aren't even there. :thIt's really disturbing to witness.... but I have. Maaaany times. We even used to have a dog that was part coyote and she could do it too. Clear a 6' wooden privacy fence without...

Hey Buff owners -- Have you noticed that your BO eggs are more rounded than others?

Thank you Bee! I appreciate you taking the time to let me know. <3 I'll check it out. I realized (too late) that you can't just jump in a thread and ask anything just because it contains the name of your breed. LOL I'll get my sea legs eventually.

You're probably right Jill, and I'm just not knowledgeable enough to have discerned it. I saw that he mentioned it being "typical of the breed", but then it was followed by info about differences btwn hatchery stock vs other stock, and he called the green a "minor flaw" so... I am still confused...

Ah ok. Sorry to intrude. I figured you folks would be the perfect ones to ask that question of. It's probably a more complicated answer than I imagined. Thanks anyway. I'm sure I'll stumble on all the whys and hows of my nagging question sooner or later along my learning journey. It's been a fun...

Hello! I am raising my first flock. Layers only. MIxed flock. Have one barred rock and I love her. She's very sweet, confident and fun and it appears she will be the first to lay. I have a question. I got her from Meyer, and I was surprised to see that she has developed a bit of green...

Well look at that! Pretty awesome set up and I love that you used what you had!! I prefer to do things that way when I can. I think your feathered babies are gonna be pretty happy with that home!

Could they be Columbian Wyandotte? -- They are dual purpose and good layers. Or Light Sussex? -- They are also dual purpose Although... how do you tell those two apart? Takes a more experienced Chicken lover than me! Then there's the Delaware, though I think your daughter would've...

That's an awesome set up! They are gonna love it!
