    Chick has a protruding vent and pasty butt? Help! *PICS*

    Wow. 15 yrs later and I have one just like this. It’s little bum pokes outward a little bit but isn’t red or anything like that. Cleaned up its butt and otherwise seems to be fine. Curious how your baby did as it grew up. Hoping I have nothing to worry about.

    Mean mama

    Will my mean mom be ok if I keep her away from her babies? Here’s the story. I have two Hens with 2 chicks each. 1 hen is a silkie with 2 chicks from a friends hen. The other is a Serama with an adopted chick and one of her own. The Silkie has decided that she needs to peck the Serama. Ok if it...

    Hen putting leaves, grass and feathers on her back??!!

    Searched for this today and this 13 yr old post came up. I have a Marans, who doesn’t appear to be broody. Isn’t hanging out in the nest. Just lays an egg, screams out her song and goes back out in the yard. I noticed the last couple days she has been picking up leaves and tossing them on her...

    Meet Lucky Roo

    This is Lucky Roo. He was hatched 3/28/22. He’s never tried to crow. (Which is awesome since my city doesn’t allow roosters 😜). I was wondering if anyone could tell me what breed(s) he looks like. He’s a big boy. Legs are sort of grayish green. He’s got a single comb and has a very pleasant...

    Sexy Easter Egger in search of a flock in need of some TLC

    Hi. I’m a 3.5 month old Easter Egger, with a little extra. I like long forages on the range, leading my ladies to tasty snacks and scaring off nasty ole predators. I’m not much into cuddles but if you’re looking for a strong male figure, who will still come running for treats like a toddler, I’m...

    Ameraucana Or egger?

    I got his egg from a friend of mine. She has Amerucanas and many other breeds, all running together. Soooo, there’s no telling who his daddy is. 😂

    Ameraucana Or egger?

    Poop. That’s what I was worried about. My city doesn’t allow roosters.

    Ameraucana Or egger?

    So she hatched from a bluish green egg. Has white legs. Big “girl”. I swear she tried to crow this morning. Hatched March 28, 2022. Three months old.

    This is Frankie. She went broody so I adopted 5 eggs for her to sit. She hatched all five. They are Zeb, Robbie, Obi, Russell and Lucy. She has been the best mom.

    Coping with bullying

    Forgot to come back and update. Finished the new coop. It’s 80” by 46” and average 40” tall (sloped roof). Connected it to the big run (8’x9’ and 6’ in the middle) and added on my first run that is an additional 70”by 36” and 42” tall. Everyone seems to be happy with the new room. Friendly...

    Topic of the Week - Moving Chicks Outside

    I let mom hatch 5 adopted eggs. Kept them in a kennel in my bathroom. I kept a brooder heater nearby in case mom wasn’t enough. At 4 weeks, I moved mom and babies out to a temporary run and coop next to the main one. That way everyone else got used to the new additions. At 5 weeks, mom was over...

I am halfway finished building my new coop. It will be 4x9 ft and 4 ft tall. She put herself in the small coop that’s...
