    Ameraucana Tail Not Right

    Hi all, Our 3 yr old Ameraucana chicken’s tail isn’t looking right for the past couple weeks and wanted to see if you had any ideas. We have looked extensively for bugs, but haven’t found any on her. As you can see from the pics, some of the feathers are misshapen and hanging. We have 15 other...

    Suspected ameraucana and golden laced Wyandotte roo

    Breeding Cream Legbars

    Egg Strike After New Run?

    Hello! We have 15 chickens and now that the weather was starting to get warmer were getting about 4 to 5 eggs a day (some hens are older and some just starting to lay). Our hens were free range, but after a bobcat stole and ate 5 of them within two weeks, we built them a fenced-in run. The...

    Unknown Predator Killing our Hens!

    We have had 4 of our hens stolen and killed by a predator within the past 2 weeks. We are relatively new to owning chickens and wanted to see what experienced owners had to say!

    Welsummer Pullets or Cockerel - 10 Weeks

    Hi all! We are new to the chicken game and this site has been invaluable to us, so thank you in advanced! We got two sexed Welsummer chicks 10 weeks ago and we're beginning to think that we have roosters instead of hens. Can you confirm or deny (hopefully!). Thanks!
