    Colorado butcher

    I have 4 hens in Littleton Colorado...they are over 4 years old, eggs are getting sporadic. Ideally, I would love to find someone that would care for them and let them live out their lives. They are very friendly and great bug eaters. But I may be needing a butcher. Baby chicks are showing...

    Question of the Day - Wednesday, September 24th, 2025

    I would be offended if a person did NOT ask to pet my dog. When I meet a person, especially at front door, if I don't want my dog to be friendly with them, I hold the collar. If they are a person I want my dog to be friendly with (a friend, babysitter, family member) I do not hold and I...

    Doberman Appreciation Thread!!!!!!!!!!

    Dobermans are awesome dogs! I have had four total, so far! Between at the moment...sad face. I'm in Colorado...anyone else? Chicken Doberman story...

    Possible Bullying???

    I have 4 Hens... Last week I noticed Red is in the Coop to sleep and the other three are in the run and sleeping in the corner on a high 2x4. When these 3 went into the coop from outside, they immediately went to the corner spot, not their coop. I only noticed this behavior a week ago. Could...

    My Hens are 3 years old. Hen that molted last year was laying eggs daily this fall until we had a very severe cold spell. Although this is normal, she hasn't layed an egg since even though we have had very nice weather the last month. I have another hen that is laying daily except very cold...

    New to BYC

    Have been reading the forum... Bullying is an issue with one of my Wyandottes...Gretta. The others seem to feed off of her energy. SO...I put Gretta in the 1/4 closed off area. With her in time-out, the others have had no issues today. Also, need to note that the hen in time-out molted last...

    The coop is 20 by 8...so even with 1/3, she has plenty of room. Let them mingle yesterday and again today. If I see any aggressive behavior I will keep separate at night. Hope to get this done before bad weather.

    I have had her a month. I just let them all out of the coop and she stayed away from them. One of the Wyandottes started to follow her around then she went to another part of the yard. I forgot to mention the new hen is a Sapphire Gem.

    New to BYC

    I have joined BYC to get information and maybe help others with chicken knowledge. I bought four (max allowed is four)1 year old hens two years ago. Two Wyandottes and two Rhode Island Reds. Made the mistake of throwing a container of tomatoes a neighbor gave me...didn't check my list. Lost...
