    Purring

    When a hen who's in the hen house, along with her boyfriends (yes, she has two) and she's making this higher pitched purring noise, does that mean something? Like maybe she wants to lay? This girl is new to the flock and I've witnessed their um, encounters?? So, I dunno...its a behavior I've...

    Rescue chickens added to my flock.

    I live near Traverse City Michigan. And the hens are 2.5 years old. We got them from our neighbor, who got them from his parents because they moved and didn't want to take the chickens with them. They laid daily for his parents. Our neighbor has only had them for a couple of months maybe and...

    Easter Egger or Ameracauna?

    I've heard that chickens who are stressed, won't lay. These girls are supposedly 2.5 yes old. Someone said they might be done laying. Isn't that a bit young to not lay anymore?

    Easter Egger or Ameracauna?

    They are rescues. And I have no idea where they actually came from. What breed they are isnt really important, i was just curious. And they aren't laying and I don't expect them to for a while. So I cant tell by egg color.

    Easter Egger or Ameracauna?

    I had a feeling they were EEs because they look very similar to my other EEs, except for their light coloring, which is what made me think there was a chance they were Ameracaunas.

    Easter Egger or Ameracauna?

    I rescued this bird and another one that is exactly like her but a bit more creamy colored where she is a very light gray. I was told they are Ameracaunas. Is this right or are they EE's? I have 3 other EEs and they look very similar but the colors are nothing alike.

    Rescue chickens added to my flock.

    So to make this long story short, I was given two Ameracauna hens approximately 2.5 years old. The person that gave them to us said they hadn't laid any eggs for him and his rooster kept picking on them so he thought they'd fit in better with us as our flock is younger. I'm new to chickens but I...

    Drooping Tail Feathers

    I have two roosters. Black Astrolops. Raised together. About 8 months old. One is more dominant however they get along well and do not fight. Also get on well with the flock. A few days ago, I noticed one of the roosters tail feathers were down. He is the less dominant of the two. There is...
