    distressed chicken????

    I just thought I would give an update to my crazy girl. She has finally stopped her running. She is still more vocal than normal, but she got a drink and ate after 4 hours. She is now doing the normal chicken stuff- sitting in the shade cleaning her feathers. I will definitely check the coop...

    distressed chicken????

    Thanks for your comment! It could be possible something got in the coop last night or early morning. I make sure everyone goes in at night and shut the door to the coop to keep them secure from large predators (raccoons, skunks, dogs, cats, owls, opossums, etc). I let them all out in the...

    distressed chicken????

    Hi, I have had my girls for a year-well long enough to study their behavior. Today I am stumped. I have an easter egger that just keeps running the perimeter of the yard and cackling like she is in distress/worried.

    What breed or gender is this chicken?

    Thanks for the reply. I wasn't sure because she has always seemed to be very calm, but yesterday I caught her doing a little chest bumping dance. We do have one chicken that will run up at you when you turn your back, and my husband thinks that maybe a roo. He said they will come at you when...

    what breed is this little lady???

    I am new to this chicken keeping business, but I too have found myself obsessing over my chicks! Haha I spend sooo much time with them every time something new happens I run and share it with my husband. He says I am crazy! New sounds, new feathers, weight gain/loss, funny gestures, mean...

    What breed or gender is this chicken?

    I am a proud new chicken owner. My husband brought home six little chicks about two months ago. I have never had chickens, and have taken up to them quite nicely. It is killing me to wait for them to make noises to see what gender they are going to be. Also, they were just noted as being mixed...
