    Hen broke her leg?

    My dog escaped the house a week ago and attacked my chickens. One is missing and another was injured. Her leg seems really swollen on the top part where it meets her body. She also had a gash where my dog bit and the chickens are pecking. I separated her from the rest and she's in a warm place...

    What's up with my Barred Rocks?

    Both of my chickens are 5 months 11 days old but the one BR is bigger, has a larger comb and is starting to be aggressive towards the other chickens. This pic is the potential "roo".... All the other combs on my 7 other chickens are about half the size or smaller than that BR's comb.

    What's up with my Barred Rocks?

    Are you kidding me?! A rooster?? That's.....wow. I ordered from McMurray Hatchery assorted brown egg laying hens. Never thought I would have a rooster. This is my first time ever owning chickens. I'm confused as to what to feel right now. I want a rooster to have baby chicks but I don't because...

    What's up with my Barred Rocks?

    Hey chicken lovers! I was wondering about my BR. She seems to keep her neck cocked and I can't get her to straighten it. I'm wondering what happened. I'm going to try looking into the eye that she keeps down tomorrow. She might have been pecked by one of my other BR's who all of a sudden became...

    MY FIRST EGG!!!!

    YAY!! I'm so happy that I got my first egg. Guess where I found it...laying ontop of the GARBAGE in my barn lol. I have nests but I guess they don't want to use them. I'm guessing my BR layed the egg since it was roosting in my tack room near it. It surprised me but its too bad the egg froze...

    Are you having trouble with hens sleeping in your nest boxes??

    Well...at least your chickens go into the nest boxes. My chickens don't want anything to do with them. I don't know why they don't like the boxes but pretty soon they're probably going to be laying eggs. My white chicken is rolling around on my floor and trying to make a nest out of that I'm...

    Egg Laying, Lights and Winter

    I've read a few forums about lights and I was wondering if they have impact on my chickens laying eggs. I keep the light on for the chickens in the barn all the time and don't shut it off unless its warm. They've had a light on them since they were babies nonstop. They go to bed at night and...
