We had her separated from the other girls for 3 days. When we let her join her sisters she got on the perch and one of the girls was feeling helpful and plucked the skin flap off. Well, Sarah brought her to me and I cleaned her up, put triple antibiotic ointment on it. She spent a couple more...

Hi all, yesterday my daughter noticed a problem with one of her girls eyes. She said everything was fine the night before, but the next morning her one eye was not right. ^^^Injury ^^^^Normal eye In this pic she is not able to completely close her eye. DD just said it looks more like a...

Hi all, a few days ago my son found eggs hiding under a back porch. They were behind a piece of siding which we have to remove so we can get to them. Well, now there are 11 eggs and we don't know which crazy hen or hens has been laying them there. They are escape artists and leave the run...

Hi all, My DD went to collect the eggs today. She took an egg carton hoping for more than the 2 she found. The first egg was in the hay under the nesting boxes. She put down the carton with the first egg and one of the girls came along gave it a little peck and rolled it out of the carton...

My girl started right on 21 weeks. The first week of Sept. 2013. The earliest I have read was 18 weeks.

Thanks, still a lot younger than our B.O. at 22 wks.

The employee at TSC said they were only a few days old. The little dark one, Cutie, was the smallest of the bunch in the bin. When the yellow chicks ran from one side to the other, Cutie would get trampled. She was in with the wrong group for some reason and I just had to rescue her. The...

We got our girls on 3/9, they weren't more than a few days old. Today 2 eggs were found, one in a nesting box and another in the hay by the door. 1 is a production red and the rest are supposed to be RIRs, but 2 seem to light in color and look more like golden comets.

I would prefer not to ship. Cost and regulations. Sorry. https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/shipping-live-birds-the-basics-ins-and-outs http://pe.usps.gov/text/pub52/pub52c5_007.htm#ep198129

Hi all, I have to find a new home for these guys. Our neighbors are complaining about the racket they are making in the wee hours of morning. I want a forever home for them. They are strong and well fed and for a while Free Range until they wandered into the neighbor's yard and their son...

That's what I was thinking. They look just like the RIRs we got from TSC. Have fun with em no matter what they are!

My B.O. acts like she is broody. She has 7 eggs under her, but she gets up and wants to go out. Right now we have her in the back room away from the bothersome boys. She got gashed pretty bad last week so we brought her in to heal. Well, I'm not sure what is going on in her head, but she...

We have 4 roos at present and need to find suitable homes for 3 them. At the moment we have one adult BO hen and she is getting hurt when we can't keep them all separate. We have tried other places, but no one wants any roos. We are in Medina, NY so if you are in driving distance and want a...

Aww, they are sooo cute, but alas 5 hours away is to far. I hope you find them a great home. Jodi
