    Sick Hen?

    My 1 year old leghorn hen, who is usually the most cocky and vocal of my flock has been acting strange for the last 2 days. She's laid 2 shell-less eggs and has been sitting in the same spot in the bushes today and yesterday. Usually when I come out to feed them she is the first to run up. I...

    Do "lap chickens" really exist?

    These are my easter eggers that love to be pet. They jump up on my lap for cuddles. Sometimes they fly up on my shoulders but I think they're getting too big for that.

    Tips on breaking broodiness

    She was broody twice for 2-3 days but it took me a couple days to notice that she was not leaving the coop and pulling out her feathers. Once I noticed and took her off and denied her access to the coop she went back to herself. I realize it's different for every bird :)

    Tips on breaking broodiness

    As soon as my girl goes broody I remove her and all eggs from the nesting box. It was only a one day thing with my girl and as soon as she cooled off she went right back to her normal cheerful self. I tried putting her in a cage but this upset the whole flock. They're super sensitive and want to...

    Where will my free range chickens lay eggs?

    My chickens are free range in my backyard. They have a coop inside of the run that they lay in every morning. I encouraged them to lay inside the coop by making sure the inside of the coop was clean (they don't like to lay where they poop). I also placed dummy eggs in there so they know that is...

    Cute! Same Chicken Lays Different Eggs

    I have read that the same hen cannot lay different color eggs but every once in a while my australorp will lay eggs that differ from each other. They can be a brown or cream with brown speckles. The speckled one is from yesterday and the smooth one is from today. I think it's really cute that...

    Do "lap chickens" really exist?

    Yes they exist. I have 3! A white leghorn and my 2 easter eggers like to be held. My other two never have. I also had a banty with crossbeak that would follow me around and jump on my lap any time I sat down,while the others wouldn't even let me pick them up! I think it has to do with breed...

    Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

    Looking at both head on they still both look girly according to their combs. In my experience though, combs have not been the best indicator for me since my pullets' combs darkened about 3 weeks BEFORE my roo's did. Post again in a couple of weeks. Usually the hen's feather pattern will come in...

    Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

    I am assuming that they are the same age. What worries me about #1 is the slower development of feathering. Also, the fan shaped tail looks a lot like mine that turned out to be a roo. My pullets looked more like #2. Indeed, it is a bit early but I would keep an eye on #1. Keep an eye out for...

    Review by '' on item 'New Hampshire'

    This is the perfect backyard chicken in my opinion. Mine lays the largest eggs in my flock. Beautiful eggs, light pinkish brown and thick shelled. She was my only chicken who laid every day throughout the winter. She is docile, sweet and quiet. My only complaint is that she hates being held, I...
