    This is Luna, and she knows you are jealous of her spectacular comb. She is a 6.5 year old Cream Legbar with light & dark gray, ivory and golden feathers. Plus a slight mohawk of the same colors.

    This is Zilla (short for Godzilla), our gorgeous Partridge Cochin. She is 6.5 years old with mahogany feathers laced with black. Her feet are completely feathered and she runs like a walrus.

    ABS Pipe feeder ok?

    We are trying to find out information on the black ABS piping (4") from Home Depot. We'd like to make a feeder out of it but can't find consistent information on whether it contains BPAs or anything that might leach into the food and therefor would be harmful to our flock. Some sites say it does...

    ADORABLE Pekin needs loving home!

    This is just breaking my heart! My husband and I would love to take her but what do you think the chances are of integrating a new, grown duck with 5 spoiled, territorial old lady hens ? Our girls are in the 3 - 4 year old range and have mostly grown up together...and even THEY get into...

    ADORABLE Pekin needs loving home!

    I just received this notice regarding a Pekin duck rescued by Valley Wildlife Care. I have 5 chickens and I know my girls would not take kindly to a web-footed interloper. Please help this sweet little duck in Southern California (I can send pictures upon request): I am a female Pekin duck. I...

    Gooey, shell-less eggs (with Calcium)!

    Our barred rock, Ricki, is about 2 1/2 years old. She's normally bouncing around, bullying the other girls and just generally a happy chicken. Before her recent molt, she seemed sick on a number of days. She was very lethargic, even falling asleep while standing in the middle of the driveway...

    Cherry Laurel Toxic to Chooks?

    Just wondering if anyone knows specifically if Carolina Cherry Laurels are poisonous to chickens...I've heard that birds eat their seeds and berries but that sounds strange since they contain hydrocyanic acid. If birds can eat them without a problem, can free-ranging chickens? And if chickens...

    favorite treats

    Grapes, grapes and more grapes! Big, small, green or purple...doesn't matter. When grapes are in the vicinity of my girls, they leap and squawk. It becomes a chicken-to-chicken smack-down..and then they attack me!

    Limping chicken!

    Our GL Wyandotte, Quark, recently started limping badly. We think she may rolled off of a loose perch or fallen somehow but we're not sure. There are no cuts that we can see on her leg or claw and it doesn't seem to be particularly swollen. She just lifts it up like a flamingo and hops...

    hen integration problem- what to do??

    I hope your situation is temporary but ours seems (so far) to be permanent. Our 3 older girls are more than happy to free-range with the 2 younger ones with only minor squabbling during the day...but when it comes time to go to bed, the nastiness begins. We have to separate them with chicken...

    Hawks and chickens???

    This sounds like a ridiculous question but will chickens know to run and hide when they sense a hawk is around? Our girls are beautiful but sometimes kind of dumb. When they are attacking each other (which they still do after months of integration attempts) they just put their heads down and...
