    brown leghorn moving head back and shaking it side to side

    She's been laying for about one month. Very healthy, free range. For a couple of weeks she's been displaying this behaviour a couple of times a day : tucking her head back into the top of her back, and wagging her head from side to side a few times, then back to normal. She is not doing...

    squatting behaviour

    Here is "Minx" bought early in December, apparently she was 12 weeks old then. Not yet laying, although, look at her... ! She looks ready, doesn't she ? My question is to clarify 'squatting'. Just this morning I watched her do the tiniest poo, and then remain in a sort of poo-ing position...

    Weird chicken behavior?

    My two do the same thing, love coming inside. I figured perhaps they see the rest of us as a continuation of their flock, and they want to be with the bigger 'chickens'.

    Finish this sentence: "You know you're addicted to chickens when..."

    when you expect friends calling on the phone to say hello to the 'girls', and hold the phone out to the chooks, waiting for a mutual 'cluck'.

    A welsummer ?

    Thank you for your comments. I guesse when she starts to lay I would have had my answer then. I'm hoping she's not as 'flighty' as my blue leghorn, who was DETERMINED to go over the fence. Despite repeated barricades she kept on flying over... Each time the dog next door would chase her...

    A welsummer ?

    Here are two pics of "Minx". Bought at twelve weeks early in December. Not yet laying, despite that comb and those wattles... My question is this : is she a true welsummer ? I ask because all pics I've seen and info I've read show welsummers with red earlobes. Minx clearly has white. I'm...

    A "rescue" and now I'm a crazy chicken lady.

    I understand about your love for your chickens. I've had various pet,s of various varieties over many years - chickens, however, have stolen my heart utterly and completely.

    Evolution of a mystery chick. PIC HEAVY!

    I'm sure there's some light sussex in there.

    A welsummer ! I have one of those, mine is called Minx. She's a lovely character, too. Well done on rescuing your little one.

    pullets first eggs

    I think, THINK, my Welsummer may have laid her first eggs. My 'first eggs', too. New to this business. I found two mushrooms, I thought at first, in the garden. Had a closer look. Possibly eggs... brown on the outside, soft. What is making identification hard for me is that it's been...

    what do you say to your chickens when giving them attention?

    Yup, converstations, that's me. My two chooks hear all about everything, interspersed with endearments, of course.
