    6 Year old hen started laying again after 3 years

    My Coretta suddenly started laying regularly again after a two year pause this spring. Frankly, I was surprised that she was still alive at 8+ years old, so even more surprised when she started laying again! 😮 I’m in town, so no roosters, just the two girls. And my 4 year-old Austrolorp, Sadie...

    Will my chickens destroy my vegetable garden?

    Well, it was getting close to end of harvest so I let them in the garden a little early this year. I needed a piece of that garden fence for another purpose. Figured they would finish off the tomatoes but probably wouldn’t hurt the onions. Wrong! Much to my surprise the next day every one of...

    Are these Brahma youth cockerels or pullets?

    When our hen was broody we got fertile eggs from my sister. Her rooster is a light Brahma and the hens are Ameraucana. I’ve noticed the tails are becoming colorful and plumy. Does the pattern on their hackles look rooster-like to you? I need to know because I’m in city limits, so if they are...

    Hi from Elaine in Oregon

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I was around chickens as a child and when I was a teenager I bought two chicks and hid them in my bedroom for months, until one day my Dad came to me and said "Elaine, you know those two chickens you have in your bedroom?"...

    Lump on neck?

It felt more hard than soft and we feared it might be a tumor, so I took her to the vet today. It's hard to see the lump in...
