    Doves raiding food in the coop

    My chickens have a coop that opens onto a run. During the day, a big flock of doves go into the coop and eat all the food. How do I deal with this?

    bald backs

    Hiya! I had a ruthless rooster who wouldn't stop riding my 3 hens, so I found somebody with 30 hens who wanted a rooster. That's more his speed; 30 hens. Anyway, he wore the feathers off the tops of my hens. He's been gone awhile, but their backs aren't re-feathering. In fact two of them...

    Fertilization

    I know this message is a few months old, but it leads to my question. My rooster is actively breeding with 3 of my hens. I've opened a few eggs that had signs that they were fertile. Since my hens aren't broody, Mother Nature clearly won't follow up on this. So say I put eggs in an incubator...

    Brahma Pullet or Cockerel?

    I had assumed pullet, but I do notice the comb and wattles are more developed than the dark brahma I have of the same age (4-5 mo?). And my neighbor says she hears a crude sort of a wanna be crowing coming from my yard... (though I did have a full grown hen that used to do that0

    Ceramic decoy eggs disappear ??

    My young hens were kind of laying eggs here and there, so to encourage them to lay in the nest box, I put two ceramic decoy eggs in there. The next morning they were gone. GONE gone, like where did they go? Would the chickens have booted them out (buy why wouldn't I find them) or did a skunk...

    ameraucana or easter egger?

    Hi! I got this girl as a chick, sold as an Ameraucana. I am suspecting she is actually an Easter Egger. I don't really care... I will love her either way... but I'm curious what you all think?

    The AMERAUCANA thread

    How can you tell? I thought the puffy cheeks would be Ameraucana? I mean, I don't care either way!
