Hello I was wondering if anyone could identify the breed of my chicken. I had assumed she was a Wyandotte, now I am questioning. I was wondering about the grey one too?
Good morning,
I have a hen that does not appear to be feeling well. She is eating and drinking, but moving very slowly and appears to have a crusty behind. I took a couple pictures of stools from her and was wondering if what you guys thought. Do they look normal? They had lots of bubbles.
Well I have some interesting news. I have had to keep the girls locked up in the run for the last several of weeks. No Free Range at all, do to an unrelated predated issue that still has not been resolved.
And well I have not had a thin shelled egg in two weeks now. Her eggs have steadily...
I am sorry for double posting. I didn't even think about it. I am concerned that there is something more wrong with her, that could be causing all of the issues. Her feet look fine, I see no issues there. I will look for supplements to try and give to just her, not going to be a easy task, she...
I have always had free choice oyster shell and have fed a premium layer feed with enriched calcium. Is there a way to do more? She is the only one with a shell issue.

Hello, Iowa!
I am looking for a Easter Egger pullet just about to or just started laying. I bought two this spring and lost one to a tragedy. I love this little girl she is about 19 weeks and would love to have another. I am located in central Iowa. Please let me know if you have one you could...
I just looked them up and you maybe right. Yay! I do like him and he seems to be settling with the hens really well. So as long as he does not become aggressive and time goes by. We are good.
I picked up a new rooster this morning. Let's hope he settles things. Once he is added to the flock. Girls are already curious and have been leaving Edna alone this morning. So that is a good thing. Chickens can be so mean.
Here is a picture of the new roo, GW McLintock, Do you think he is...
Thank you all for your posts. They are so helpful. I hope things get better for my little Edna soon. It breaks my heart every time I go out there. She tries so hard to come with me.
Mrs K your free-range rules make a lot sense. It is close to what we have been trying to follow, but will get...
Oh I would to love to find that rooster! I have walked pasture out there over and over and I can not even find any sign of his feathers. I have searched the old trees out there looking for possible dens. I haven't found anything. I will setup the trail cam today. I have heard trapping a fox can...
