    I'm supposed to have 12 chicks, tonight I counted 11...

    Yeeep! They do that. I had a near fit when I couldn't one of mine! You may find that more take to doing that now, they teach eachother to be naughty it seems! I had to climb the tree and pull each one down for a week until they got the message. You could cut the lower branches off to stop them...

    Little man finally becoming part of the flock

    These are so funny! I wish I had recorded my little men 'crowing' one day when I left them out, had me in tears. 5 crows in a row ranging perfectly from 'perfect 10/10 (oldest roo)' to ('pathetic choked squeak 0/10' "Cock-a-doodle-doo!!" "cock-doodle-doooooo!" "cock-doodle-doo!" *cock-a-doo!*...

    First time owner... Weird clucking.

    Not sure how you mean. I've got a funny image in my head of a chicken really honking now!

    I thought you might all appreciate this! (FUNNY)

    They really do! I <3 my banty flock! I'll keep you posted. Usually 'Spaghetti-O', my handsome feline friend (my picture) is off doing whatever cats disappear and do at that time but there'll be a clash over that basket at some point no doubt! He's a nice cat though so I wouldn't expect any fur...

    I imagine the day she comes in and finds her 'nest' already occupied is going to be a bit awkward! Knowing her, she'd prolly try to get inside even with the cat in it...

    Aggressive cockerel.

    Oh hooray...I was reading through this expecting the worst at the end. I suppose someone likes a 'challenge'. I hope they are okay with him. I wonder if your could tether a mean roo? Sorta like a creance or something and just keep out of range? I don't think I could cull a mean roo. I think I...

    This is Peeps, my little Friesian banty hen. She's such a character! Very independant little miss. She's spunky, full of confidence and knows what she wants. Every day at about 11am she screams at the door, demanding to be let in so she can lay her egg in the cat's basket! Apparently the nest...

    How to stop your coop door swelling? (&PINK COOP PIC)

    Thanks. Is that the only solution? I'll make a bit of a mess of it if I take it apart to get the door off I think. Can I pour something down the sides to make it slide smoother or something? Err, yeah. I'm not quite the DIY person. Job for the brother I think. :)

    Factory Farm Rescues

    That's really cool! YES for animal activism! Ordinary outdoor paint is fine. I worried about that what I painted my coop pink but it's been fine. Looks really cool. I was dead pleased with my little pink coop but when you see the amazing coops people have on here you get quite jealous...

    How to stop your coop door swelling? (&PINK COOP PIC)

    Here is my little coop:- I bought it second-hand off a nice man giving up chickens and I painted it pink. :) I'm going to put a little window in it and I want to put an automatic opener on it but am afraid I'll end up breaking it because the door is stiff to pull up in damp weather :( It...

    Broody hen hatch question..

    So today is day 8. Out of a clutch of 8, 3 are deffo infertile. I've hatched eggs in a bator before and now I'd be taking out the infertiles. Do I still take them away with a broody hatch? I'm worried me taking them away and making her clutch smaller will put her off and she'll stop sitting or...

    What my Vet recommends for SOUR CROP

    Thanks Dawg and Suzierd :) So this Pendulous crop thing...It is permanent damage and I will need a 'crop bra' for him? He's doing much better. His crop is sorta normalish full-size but it's always squishy and lower than it should be and doesn't seem to empty much more than that. It never seems...

    Blind Chicken What Do I Do

    I think what to do depends on how blind they are and their personality. A hen blind in one eye would probably adjust fine and use their good eye. A hen with very bad vision or just a sense of light may or may not adjust. Special care is likely to be needed and if you can provide it great! If...
