    Quirky Chickens Sleep Outside My Door?

    My chickens have decided to gain a new quirk where when ever they are free ranging they come to my back door. They peck on the glass and preen the crap out of their feathers but after a while they lay down and fall asleep. The only reason why I can think they do this is because sometimes I throw...

    !EMERGENCY! TW:Blood - Brutal Chicken Attack

    She has been separated where she can see her flock. When they were chicks one of my hens somehow got into their run and she’s always been afraid of the older hens since then. It so frustrating how the Silkies won’t just peck them back and now the older chickens have made a game of chasing them...

    !EMERGENCY! TW:Blood - Brutal Chicken Attack

    I had places for them to hide in the run but I didn’t see this happen and I can’t find any feathers so I’m guessing the Silkie went up into the coop and got stuck somewhere. For all I know she could’ve gotten her head stuck in a fence somewhere. I’m only assuming she got attacked because it...

    !EMERGENCY! TW:Blood - Brutal Chicken Attack

    Both of these flocks have been integrating together for the past 2 months. They’ve shared a fence and been free ranging together before on numerous occasions. I’ve put them in the same coop together at night. I watched both flocks behaviors closely before deciding to leave them unsupervised...

    !EMERGENCY! TW:Blood - Brutal Chicken Attack

    When introducing my Silkie Chicks (3) to my Amberlink (4) flock one of my Silkies was attacked. They were only together for about 3 1/2 hours and I had checked up on them multiple times. I am guessing Henrietta was cornered and attacked by multiple of my Amberlinks. She has no more skin of her...

    Baby Chick Attacked by Older Chickens (Graphic)

    This Silkie chicks accidentally got into my older chicken coop yesterday and they attacked her. Luckily my sister heard and was able to separate them. She has a big gash under her beak. I’ve been watching her and she has been eating, drinking, and foraging like normal. I have also been spraying...

    Spring Is Here!

    The ladies enjoyed their first real dust bath since fall now that the ground is no longer frozen!! I’m hoping to get 4 more chicks this year. Fingers crossed my parents let me!

    Unknown Chicken Breed

    I bought my chickens exactly a year ago today. (I made them a birthday cake and posted a thread on it. Check it out ;)) When I first bought them TSC had had a sign labeling them as black colored chickens. Well, I brought my chicks home and a year passes.... they’re white. I have accepted that I...

    Happy Birthday

    Happy 1st birthday to Shamess, Scruffy, Tater Tot, and Squishy!! I made their cake out of feed, oats, and scratch along with their other favorite treats like apples and fresh garlic. I used eggs and honey to keep it together and baked it at 350 for about 30mins(I burnt it a bit). No they did...

    Where do you get your food?

    I get Dumor organic layer pellets. It says not to give to male birds I’m guessing because of the calcium content but my rooster has been eating it for almost a year and I haven’t had any problems.
