    Putting the girls into their new hen house-HELP!

    My girls were much easier than I expected. The first time in their coop we took them out at sunset and put them all on the perch. When we checked them later they were still there even though we didn't lock them in (they have an attached run). The next evening we went to put them on their perch...

    3-4 week old Ameracauna has "bald spot" on head- non emergency- opinions please

    I forgot to say the area does seem to be tender because when I tried to examine it she tried to get her head away but she isn't bothered by me looking at the opposite side of her head that still has the fuzz on it. Her body is very feathered.

    3-4 week old Ameracauna has "bald spot" on head- non emergency- opinions please

    Dumpling is one of our six new chickens (our first) and today we noticed a spot on her head about the size of a nickel that was pink and balding. It is under the "ear". She and the other chickens are all acting fine. We haven't seen any of them picking (pecking) in a rough or attacking manner...

    Do you have a favorite?

    Don't tell the others...but I have a favorite chicken. This is Buttermilk. She is very relaxed. When I open the brooder she flies out to me and snuggles. She is bigger than this now and has most of her feathers it looks like. I'm counting on her being a "her". :)

    cutest chicken names!

    I'm sorry to hear that. I've never heard of anything like that. When I first moved out on my own years ago I got fish and I was so excited. They were pretty and I dressed up their bowl and really enjoyed them. But I didn't do my research first and the first time I cleaned the bowl the water was...
