    And then there were 4

    It has been a rough fall for my flock. I had 17 in September but after some were rehomed, one had to be put down, and a stray dog managed to squeeze through the coop door and killed some, including my first and favorite,--the "queen" of the flock--the remaining four are struggling. My rooster...

    Whole flock gone

    Ok keep me posted on this one! I'm also curious...could it have been bad feed?

    Rooster trying to kill us

    I could be going out on a limb here, but we had an aggressive rooster. I got tired of it, and every time he would come at me, I would try to catch him, and then cuddle him and hold him, basically showing him that I'm stronger than him, but also showering him with kindness. My husband however got...

    Breed help?

    She's not laying yet. The lady I rescued them from said they were in a pen marked "rare breeds" or something like that... I think they came from Hoover's Hatchery. Zilla is a little sleeker than your pullet.

    Breed help?

    I rescued 2 chicks, and while I was able to identify one as a sapphire gem, I cannot figure this one out! He or she has black legs mixed with bright yellow and a yellow dot on both sides of the head near the eyes (which is a recent discovery, the pic below doesn't show it) Any ideas?

    This is Chuck, my Cochin rooster, and Omelet, my Australorp. When Omelet was a chick, all of her flock mates (chicks) were killed by a cat. She spent several nights in a basket at the head of our bed, since none of the hens would be her surrogate. One evening, I noticed Chuck had taken her under...

    Egg colors

    I have a White Crested Black Polish hen, a Columbian Wyandotte hen, and a Sapphire Gem hen. (Just those 3, no rooster). I find 1-3 eggs daily, but they all appear to be the same size and pale tan color! Whose is whose?

    Yay! A friend for JT

    After my flock of 3 was reduced to 1, I went on a search to find a friend for poor JT, my Polish hen. A nice lady has offered the pick of the flock! ❤ But how do I pick the right one? JT's sisters were a Cochin and a Rhode Island red. This lady has "Wyandottes, Australorps, ISA brown, Rhode...

    💔broken. Only 1 left.

    The good news is, we have it on camera: an Akita and a husky. (We live in a rough urban neighborhood, so our security/camera system is safety thing.) The law here says the dogs must be taken out of city limits and if they are found within city limits they will be euthanized. My concern is that...
