    What is it? Weasel, possum or skunk? Help!

    Yes, something very similar happened to my chickens too. One chicken had her intestines pulled out- it looked like the belly was partially eaten. Another chicken was missing all her rump feathers. There weren't any teeth marks that I could tell- no chunks missing. The other two chickens seemed...

    What kinds of Predators have taken your birds?

    Shooting is a permeant solution to an instance of a problem, but not the main problem itself. So you killed your neighbor's pet. Congratulations. I understand that it's the neighbor's responsibility to care for their pet, not yours. But what happens when another neighbor moves in with a loose...

    Uninjured Chickens die after attack?

    Today I found all my chickens dead but one Our sweetest chicken was partially eaten, another one had a very minor-looking injury, but I couldn't even find anything on the other two bodies. I don't think the attack happened that many hours before I discovered them. Did they just die of...

    Differences EE, Ameraucana, & Araucana * Pls post pics*

    This has been incredibly helpful!I got a beautiful EE with that typical wild coloring a few months ago when I got chicks for the first time. I had to put her picture in the breed forums because I had no idea of what she was (an assistant thought that she was a gold lace wyanndotte when we got...

    BREED: Chinese or African?

    Turns out she's African! Talked to the people at the feed store and they said they never got in Chinese so she has to be African. She's now 11 weeks and about eight pounds, if I'm weighing her right.

    4 Mystery Chicks....who has a clue?? :)

    Pretty chicks! I don't know enough to id them, but the ones with feathering on the feet may be Cochins or Bramas, the only two breeds I know of besides Silkies who have that.

    What did you name your goose?

    I don't know the gender of our goose, but my sisters named him/her Lucy-Goosey; Louie if it turns out to be a boy. I just call her Goose-Goose and she whistles back.

    BREED: Chinese or African?

    My sisters got a goose when it as a day old from a mixed bin. (S)he's now 6 weeks old today. I'm pretty sure Goosey is African or Chinese but I'd like to know which. I've read that Africans are much heavier than Chinese but can't find anything about their relative weights as they mature so you...

    PLEASE look - 4 Week Old Buff Orphington chicks - gender guesses?

    I'm new to this too. I can't really tell from your picture, but if the chick is developing wattles then it is probably a boy. Some chicks get combs faster than the others so you can't really tell from that until they are a little older. I think its a girl but I'm just guessing.

    Labled Wyandotte looking very EE

    What breed is this? I''m new to chickens and picked up a chick out of a mixed bin at a feed store that was identified as a Wyandotte. When her legs turned olive green I suspected that she was something different and read on here that pure Wyandottes don't have green legs. Her feather pattern...
