    Easter Egger, girl or boy?

    Yes, 3 rows. She also is the biggest by far, and raises neck feathers during chest bumps.

    Easter Egger, girl or boy?

    Hi helpful chicken people! I know it's a little early on this, but I've been worrying that this is a rooster since it was 2 days old. It's def the most aggressive of the flock, regularly chest bumps our rooster (who usually backs down to her) and the other little girls. Now her comb is starting...

    White Orpington?

    Hi! Would someone be able to help with this chick? I ordered a white orpington, but her wing feathers are coming in light gray/silver...will she keep this color? Or be more white after her first molt? She's just about a week old now. Is this how white orpingtons typically look?

    The Coop

    The Hathway Hens' House My husband and I (who have no building experience) built this coop with plans we found on the internet. The coop is 6x6' and the attached run is 15x30', which should suit our 8 hens nicely. It sits on 4x4 skids, so it can be moved if needed. We did modify the plans some...

    Limping hen :( Any ideas? **Fixed her**

    I think I fixed her Yesterday, I looked at her foot again and saw what looked like dirt next to the pad of the middle of her foot...but it wasnt dirt, it was a stone! Tucked up under the pad, so I pulled that out and she seems much better today. Thanks everyone!

    Rooster troubles...advice please

    Quote: If that is the case, then I cannot keep him. I've never had a rooster, so I don't really know what the process is like...As soon as he came out of the house he saw her and was trying to get to her. All the other hens were just minding their own business, and didn't care that she was...

    Rooster troubles...advice please

    Ok, so last weekend a hawk attacked one of my hens while they were all out free ranging. My girl was very traumatized and didn't eat well for almost a week. She also is still keeping one of her eyes closed all the time. Today was the first morning she had been back out with the flock since the...

    Hawk attack yesterday, UPDATED hen not eating well

    Well today she seems a little weaker I'm starting her on oxytetracycline 343 in her water instead of just the vitamins/electrolytes. I called durvet to get the dosage and they said 1/4 tsp per gallon of water. I just don't know what else to do at this point. Her eyelid looks red today...

    Hawk attack yesterday, UPDATED hen not eating well

    ok, I have her in the house for the night. I've given her vitamin water with an eyedropper and she ate a whole scrambled egg. She seems a little weak, but I'm hoping that's just because she hasnt been eating as much as she should. I did open her eye and it is there. Her 3rd eyelid was...
