    Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

    I bought 6 chicks, the 2 gold laced wyandottes were SR. The first is definitely looking like a cockerel, the other I'm up in the air about. The both of them feathered out slower than the other 4 and they have little bitty kind of upright tails, they also stand kind of more upright than the...

    Skinny Hen

    So our brahma is not doing so hot, I noticed she had lost weight over the last couple of weeks. Checked on her today and she's definitely worse. I pulled her out of the flock and brought her inside. Butt was caked with poop, washed her up. Her crop seems to be full of layer pellets. She has...

    Chicken attacked and severly wouned...Need Advice

    I've healed a wound that was like that. Although I do worry about the wing. Ours was attacked by a dog. The chicken had a broken wing, a broken leg and a wound in her body cavity that you could see all the way to her spine. I pulled the feathers out of the wound and cleaned it as best I...

    Lost a chicken this morning, any insight?

    No, I don't worm regularly, but sounds like now could be the time to start. That is fantastic information about the necropsy, thank you! I have buried her and digging her up again is not going to happen at this point, but I will tuck the information away for next time as it would most...

    Lost a chicken this morning, any insight?

    So, I went to let the girls out this morning and Stella one of our blue cochins and unfortunately my favorite chicken was huddled in the corner with her wings spread. I thought she was just being goofy and protecting her egg and I picked her up to move her to an egg box. I then noticed her...

    New Chickens in Groton, MA!

    Nope don't need a permit and as far as I know there is really no limit, although depending on what kind of property you move into you probably want to take your neighbors into account. We live on 5 wooded acres, so the fact that we have a dozen girls roaming about doesn't really bother anyone...

    Brands of Electric Fence?

    SO, we lost our first chickens the other day. Unfortunately, it was the two that we were most attached to, very sad. A fox took them at about 7pm. At the moment we are just keeping them in the coop (don't worry it's a significant size) unless they are supervised. I've got a small area (10x5...

    Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

    Woohoo! I'm not sure how we lucked out. I bought 5 chicks straight run and for the last couple weeks felt they were all girls although did have my doubts with Petrie. What did your Echo end up looking like? They are all so different and beautiful at this age.

    Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

    I've got three who are 8 weeks old at this point. Any guesses? I've got no experience... course I just hope they are all pullets! This is Petrie. If anyone is a roo this one would be our guess. Seems a bit more aggressive and by far the biggest of the bunch. Xena, such a sweetie. I...
