I just got a couple new Wyandottes. I was told they were BLR. The smaller one was born in June and is about 9 weeks old or so, the darker ones was born in May, so about 13 weeks. I have not had this breed before, but they look awfully dark for BLR's. What do you think? This is the youngest...

I had the enjoyable task of cleaning a few butts that weren't so fluffy! I have changed to an all Organic Non-GMO food and it seems many of them are getting more drippy looking rear ends. A couple were downright nasty looking and I like to photograph my birds, so they needed a dip in the...

As a former nurse myself, I was aghast with worry when I noticed my one month old Speckled Sussex chick with a bald belly. Poor thing. It was bad enough she and her sister are the runts because they were obtained a week after the other 38 chicks. But now, to have a completely bald belly was...

I just adopted a mixed flock of 13 hens. 12 of them have been raised together. One was a rescue hen. I went and checked on them last night, and the 12 were huddled in groups of 3-5, and the one rescue girl was left all alone on the other side of the coop. None of the original flock is...
