    Wondering about the personality of bantam wyandottes...

    Hello! After having chickens for about a year now, we have decided to add to our little flock of 3. Currently we have one pekin bantam, one sablepoot and a frizzled pekin who tends to get picked on. All of our hens are very friendly, come running when they see us and are up for a cuddle. We are...

    Strange lump on chickens head - posssible injury?

    Thanks for the reply! I don't have a rooster, so it can't be that. I'll have another look today and clean it up again and make sure the others aren't pecking at it.

    Curled toe - Any Treatments?

    Hello, my hen has an issue very similar to this, as well as one toe that points partially upwards on the other foot. What could this be on an adult bird?

    Strange lump on chickens head - posssible injury?

    Hello! Today I've noticed a strange lump on my chickens head. It seems to me as if she's had some kind of damage to her head (possibly a peck?), and this has led to a lump of congealed blood and feathers forming a strange new hat for her? I've applied some wound spray and hoped since she's...

    Hen is expelling white mucus when picked up.

    Yes, she was wormed a few months ago, and has been laying for longer than that. She is on layers pellets, however I can't remember the brand. Hope that helps!

    Hen is expelling white mucus when picked up.

    Help! My nine (ish) month old hen occasionally expels a white mucus when I pick her up. She has been handled regularly since a few weeks old, and so despite being the least friendly of the group, she isn't skittish and so I'm guessing it's not due to fear? What on earth could this be? She...

    Will her eggs get bigger?

    They should get bigger as she continues laying. Mine had tiny eggs when they started, even for bantams, but now they are much larger.

    Ended 2026 BYC Calendar Photo Contest - We Need Your Pictures!

    I love that "Pepper" wrote an article! I have also made calendars about chickens previously, but to convince the family that we should get some! Debating making another, but of my bantams now. Thanks for the idea!

    Tell Me All Your Hardware Cloth Secrets

    Our run is made of tubing! We just used cable ties/ zip ties. There's probably something much better to use, but we figured that since we used so many, any predator would have to spend the rest of his life picking away at them to get in.😂

    One side of chickens face has swelled up.

    Update: her face went down after a few days, phew! Thanks for the replies!

    Chicken making very strange high pitched noise.

    She does make some very strange noises. Normal chicken sounds, but as if she has an accent 🤣. Anyways, she was clearly disapproving of me trying to time-lapse their antics.
