My one RIR usually doesn't take treats from me unless she is very hungry, like first thing in the morning hungry. The other pullets will eat right out of my hand any time of the day and the RIR just stands there and watches, sometimes she takes a piece and pecks at it but doesn't eat it. She...

I just graduated from high school last fall, out of my entire school there was only about a dozen people who hunted including myself, and I was the only one doing archery. I was really disappointed to find that all of the others I ever talked to didn't have any respect for the animals it was...

All my parrots are potty trained!

I gave my pullets a tray of play sand mixed with dried dirt and they ate a bit of it (they have grit in a bowl near their food) and walked all over it then ignored it. One of them will get the idea eventually...

Told one of my neighbors I had backyard hens and I got my first, "Don't you need a rooster for eggs?" :D He's a nice neighbor though and really just didn't know so I told him they will lay without and he soaked that in for a moment then looked at me and exclaimed, "Huh... And I was raised on a...

I have 6 chickens all of a different breed and color, three are much older and out of those the Jersey Giant and RIR are constantly hanging out and leaving my BO a loner (though the first two were raised together and the BO was introduced later so that's probably why).

Every one of my chickens sneeze daily. They have for as long as I have had them as chicks but don't have any other symptoms, I know that their bedding and feed are dusty and there is a lot of pollen, so I don't worry too much, no discharge when they sneeze other than dirt sometimes when they've...

Definitely a pullet! :)

Subscribing. :)

Thanks for this thread, one of my pullets cut her face somehow and I the only thing I found laying around was some of the Pulvex Veterinary Ointment, searched quickly to make sure it was okay to use on her.

I have a Papillon named Pebbles who is 10 years old, I had parrots when I got her as a puppy and taught her to leave birds alone. I recently got some chicks which she would sniff and then walk away as normal but recently she took a big interest in them and will stay outside and lay near the pen...

"You better just be a really masculine girl!" (One of my pullets is getting a pretty pink comb bigger than the others)

Thank you, I wish I could stop myself from over worrying
