    Hen making odd sound

    One of my hens is making a new, weird sound. Now her sister is starting to do it to. She started doing this after one of my buff orpghingtons hatched her babies. In the video she is sitting in a nest trying to lay, and another hen got into the nest with her to lay also. She (the black hen)...

    What breed is my rooster? He is attacking a hen

    You're right, she's a leghorn. She does have a very large comb that flops over. My mom said the same thing, that he thinks she's a rooster. Darn ):

    What breed is my rooster? He is attacking a hen

    And what kind of personality should I expect of him? He has gone through some changes lately but has been sexually mature for several months. When he was a baby he was just a little grey puff ball. He was also the youngest of all the other babies, only a day old but very healthy and strong, I...

    2 yr old rooster has gone psycho

    So happy I found this thread! It was a great read and I learned a lot. Thank you chooks. If you wouldn't mind, I'd love to hear more of your take on aggressive hens. Recently, one of my hens went broody. I put her in her own pen away from the flock so she could brood in peace. I put eggs under...

    Kitten in the Coop

    Yes, when he sees the kitten come out he stands tall and says "burrBOOBOObooboo," which I believe means "There's something weird over there!" since when he does that call the hens stop and look around for a second. They go back to pecking around and ignore the kitten but the roo stays still and...

    Kitten in the Coop

    Recently a little black kitten has wandered up and seems to be trying to make its home with my chickens and living under the egg house. It seems to be eating their poop and possibly feed but not sure about the latter. I plan to trap it and bring it to my grandmother's house but when it comes to...

    My chickens can't decide what kind of eggs to lay

    Hey Hooligans! Yes she stopped laying for a very long time, to the point we thought she retired and wouldn't lay any more. Then she surprised us with an egg (hers are pretty easily identifiable being long with brown speckles) a few months after sharing a coop with the lil banny roo, and she...

    My chickens can't decide what kind of eggs to lay

    Check out this massive egg i collected today! My three year old Barred rock has decided to start laying again! (I think it's because she's shacking up with the little roo in my avatar) Hers are the speckled ones and they are very long and thin. The smaller solid brown one belongs to a little...

    Hen or Rooster? $100 on the line

    Sorry about the delay, here he is in action! I'm surprised my phone was able to take this decent of a picture with him running around glaring at me haha Here he is with his girls. All 3 of them were gifts from me, but I've always wondered what the black&white one and gray one were. Any...

    Hen developing a bald spot (pics)

    I noticed one of my hens' back feathers were out of order and a lot of down was showing. I picked her up and checked her out to find a small injury and many feathers missing. Recently also noticed the same hen has climbed up on the pecking order and maybe it was done by her sisters? Or maybe...
