    Tail Feather Pecking - Looks like a bad hair cut?

    Hi all, not sure what's going on here. I was changing the food and water in my girls' coop today and noticed our RIR and Jersey Giant have what looks like a bad hair cut on their tail end (see photos). The other two birds don't have any feather trims like these two. The other two are a Salmon...

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    First egg from our Rhode Island Red - she hatched 9/12/13 - first egg 1/26/14, so she's about 4 1/2 months old. Hoping the other girls will follow her lead soon!! Next to one of my store-bought large white eggs.

    Mirrors?

    I gave my chickens a mirror when they moved into their coop because there is not a ton of natural light in there. They do seem to enjoy it, but don't obsess on it.

    New chick mom...do I need to enclose my girls' run?

    Thanks all for your feedback!! So helpful. We've moved the girls to the coop now, although they are locked up for the time being until we finish their run. Based on our neighbors with chickens, we've decided to partially enclose the run. There are some true free range birds in our neighborhood...

    New chick mom...do I need to enclose my girls' run?

    Hello BYC! I got four chicks almost two weeks ago. The girls are still inside under their lamp but I can see their move to the back yard on the not-so-distant horizon. We built their coop so that we will open the door in the morning for them and close it at night, but I am wondering if enclosing...
