    Overly Friendly Chicken?

    Very recently I lost one of my most tame roosters that's about as tame as you describe however he never did jump into my lap. He didn't mind being picked up and set in my lap and if he was given treats he made these happy sounding clucks while eating. hopefully I'll be able to hatch another...

    Can chickens taste/smell?

    I would think chickens just smell differently than humans like being able to smell gender. That's probably why Jack attacks females and younger people instead of me or my Dad. Also Macaw parrots prefer certain genders for their human care takers.

    Need to know if my Ameriaucana is actually broody or not.

    There are six eggs in her nest. I don't know if that's too many for an Ameriaucana. She seems to be on them all day when I check on her but i'm not sure about night time (mostly because i'm asleep.) however when I checked on her this morning she was off the eggs. Also I have her enclosed in a...

    Need to know if my Ameriaucana is actually broody or not.

    I would like to know whether or not she is broody or not. She doesn't seem as defensive as I would expect her to be. She does sit on the eggs and keep them warm but there are times where I see that she isn't sitting on them and the're a little cool to the touch. I've seen posts where a chicken...

    Sick chicken or something else

    Quote: Now I can't wait till spring time for my rooster (the big boy on my shoulder) to make some baby ameriaucanas with the other hens I have. I might keep a few but I'll see if I can sell some at the local farmers market as pullets.

    Sick chicken or something else

    It looks likes a jersey giant which are quite broody however I haven't had any problems from mine. She's the biggest chicken and even keeps my rooster in check! Jersey giants are also quite docile (easy to tame).

    Epic Birds

    By what I mean is like birds in mid flight or pictures taken at a certain angle or the wings of a chicken extended to their full length.
