    Naked butt

    My females who are not Polish have pulled out my Polish Roos "hair" and his tail feathers. The small tail feathers are coming back, and the head ones were trying too, but the still keep getting pulled out.

    Ester Eggers laying?

    I have 3, and they are the most consistant layers! Almost an egg every day. Two lay blue eggs and one lays a green.

    Just performed impacted crop surgery - update post #54: caution!!

    Great job! I envy how brave you were. I had this happen to one of mine, one of the sweetest of the bunch. My husband just ended up putting her down. I don't think we could have done it ourselves. I hope she pulls thru perfectly. Now your advice can help others. Kudos!

    SLW Roo or Pullet

    I had a few of those, thought for sure it was a roo, until I saw "him" lay an egg! Yep, I agree, nice action shot there! Couldn't do that again if you tried! LOL

    Start a flock with or without a roo?

    I enjoy our roo, it wasn't our plan to have one. He was the free exotic we got. When they are free rangeing, he seems to watch over the girls, and makes cute noises when he finds food. Why don't you want fertilized eggs? We eat ours, no difference and no chicks since we collect every day...

    Chicken Rant! Stopping coop laying and chicken chores while pregnant.

    I am also pregnant! I am 11 weeks. I gave up the cat litter chore to my oldest, oh dARN, but still take care of the chickens. I heard online that if you've had the cat for a while, you have probably already been exposed to toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis is an infection you can get from a...

    I'm pregnant! (8 months along now, no longer morning sick!)

    I was told to go back on my Nexium, because my heartburn and GURD would just get worse. My Doc. said Nexium is fine. I was so happy!

    I'm pregnant! (8 months along now, no longer morning sick!)

    Congrats! I am 7 weeks long. Thank goodness no moring sickness. This is my 3rd and my boys are 11 and 7 so it is going to be interesting, but lots of help from them, HOPEFULLY! On your sleeping situation, I think I had seen a baby sized crib that attaches to your bed. I had my first sleep...

    Black Australorps - I need some answers!

    Hi, I live in Northern Niagara Co. IN NY state. We have 4 BAs and they are great layers. My husband picked them because they are cold hardy. We'll see, it should snow today! I have at least one thats broody, they are 7 months old now. I also do like the Buff O's. The BA's are very pretty...

    Why do people get so worked up about eating a fertilized egg?

    My husband has a bit of an issue with it, but he still eats them. He said he doesn't want to crack one open and see a beating heart! Well, me neither, but these are the best eggs I've had, especially over easy!

    Neighbor's dogs!

    Wow, you have such a beautiful setup, I would be so upset to have a huge monster like that dog come in and ruin it. We are having problems with a loose dog ourselves, but this one attacked my dog before it saw my chickens were free rangeing. We have gone t court a couple times about it, and...

    HELP...Hen with lump on breast (crop)

    I had this problem with one of mine. She seemed happy other than the HUGE lump which didn't go down. We did the massaging which helped, and you can keep her isolated and fast her then give bread in olive oil. DH tried holding her upside down and forcing out as a last resort. He just ended up...
