    GB color morphs?

    Hey everyone - I’ve had my Golden Buffs for around 2 years now, and I only just noticed this. Some of the Golden Buffs are a darker shade of orange, whereas the others seem to be a lighter shade. For example, here’s Cyberdemon, who has a darker shade of orange And, on the other side of the...

    Buff Orpington chicks

    It's a bit tricky to sex chicks who are that young, because to the untrained eye they do look very similar. But here are some helpful tips I found on the net that may help. First, if you're able to handle your chicks with confidence, check out their wings. Cockerels tend to have a "straight...

    Egyptian Fayoumis, anyone?

    She's not too much of a fan. I assume since she originated from Egypt that she's more into warmer weather, and that her thinner frame doesn't conserve heat as well as a larger bird would. That's not to say she HATES the snow, but she hangs out inside more often than not.

    Egyptian Fayoumis, anyone?

    Has anyone every kept Fayoumis? If so, how do you like them? My dear Fayoumi hen, Rex, is easily one of the most interesting birds i've ever kept. She's smaller than everyone else in the coop but, surprisingly, is rarely picked on. She's rather skittish, so she's not too fond of us holding her...

    How do you keep chickens from getting bored in winter?

    Not covered, but they do have a rather large run, which divides them from the goats. There's a little exit door on the run they can run out through if they want

    How do you keep chickens from getting bored in winter?

    My hens don't like going outside (it's currently snowing where I live), and seem rather bored inside their coop, even when they are allowed to go outside they don't. To make matters worse, one of our poor wyandottes was pecked to the point of blood release (I don't know if that's boredom or...

    Do your chickens like earthworms?

    Oh our hens will run laps around the place with little beetles hanging from their mouths while other chickens chase them, and the goats in the middle of it all are completely and utterly confused. Very entertaining to watch

    Do your chickens like earthworms?

    exactly! That's what came into my mind as well

    Do your chickens like earthworms?

    I've heard a lot about how many people's chickens enjoy worms to some extent. So of course I took a few minutes outta the HW schedule to see if mine did. During scratching, a small group of golden buffs dug up several worms of various sizes, and this is where it gets interesting. They simply...

    Review by 'Dinornis' in article 'The perch experiment'

    I think it's really unique how you paid such close attention to your chickens' individual preferences and use variables in figuring out your test.

    Chickens and Goats - the first meeting

    Yup. When they first got introduced, some of our hens tried "goat-surfing''. Needless to say that didn't last for very long

    Chickens and Goats - the first meeting

    Go for it, goats are amazing animals. If size is an issue, tell her that 4 dwarf goats need as much space as one-two larger goats.
