hahaha! Love this !

My 9YO daughter took this pic of our Favorelle sitting on the next, and I can't stop laughing every time I see it. It totally captures her little personality. I had to make it my avatar. She just looks so pugnacious LOL 'Wanted to share the pic, is all ... Everyone have a great day! =D

Hey, thanks for the help. I separated her and had already given her a very warm bath soak by the time I read this. I found that advice on google. I had on gloves and tried to feel around externally but honestly I've never investigated inside a chicken's cloaca and was scared I was going to...

We have a 4MO Welsummer hen that hasn't been able to stand for long as of yesterday. She seems sluggish, like she's dragging her hind end, and wants to immediately sit like she's laying. She seems otherwise OK, no other physical or neurological problems but we unfortunately had a chick around...

nasty broody poo hahaha Thanks for the advice! I noticed she was outside free-ranging with the others this afternoon. Looks like her broodiness window is about 24 hours right now lol Prob a good thing. Pretty cold and ick right now.

2YO bantam Welsummer (our only bantie & our FAV bird) has suddenly gone broody on at least a half-dozen eggs. WTH. In the winter?? She doesn't want to budge.

I let our two little turkey chicks out with the rest of the birds for the first time today and was cracking up watching them. They're only about 6" tall but the white one is already trying to display. hahaha So funny to watch such a little vulture-necked little chick of a bird going on tom. lol

LOL I've been trying to tack on a picture.... just a sec... UGH

Hi everyone! Our family is going to adopt this Ameraucana from a guy in Seattle (1 of his 4 female chicks turned out not to be a pullet lol). Our first roo, for our 14 girls I've google-image searched Ameraucana roos but haven't seen this coloring. It looks like maybe a blue crossed with...

I was told leghorns can be very aggressive and brutish. They were genetically engineered for commercial egg-laying, so it stands to reason that only the most aggressive birds would survive that kind of environment. However, our family got 3 leghorn chicks as TINY CHICKS and hand-raised them. We...

I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives.

I'm in Clark Co & I'd like to acquire a few (2-4) fertile bantam eggs. Any available in the Portland/Vancouver area? I have two hens that've been super broody for quite a while. Now that it's Spring, I willing to give them an opportunity to try to be Mums. Thanks! Holly
