The white chicken in the last picture is my hen named bunny. The white roosters in the middle picture were her identical brothers. I got her from a local man who bred chickens and hatched them as a teaching opportunity for his children. I bought her under the premise that she and her brothers...

I have my pullets in a separate coop from my hens which I was just cleaning out today. When I was pulling the girls out, I noticed my blue andalusian was just lying down. Just the day before she was up on the waterer as usual trying to fly out the door. When I pulled her out, her entire vent...

Sorry I didn't include ideal but their site made no sense. A lot of breeds wouldn't let me see the prices because they were sold out so there was nothing to write down. Also, some said that they would be available in May 2014 even though I was viewing the page in June of 2014. I have heard very...

I made up a list comparing all the breeds offered by different hatcheries and their prices. I didn't include the prices for males because if you order straight runs you're bound to get males anyway. I didn't include Ideal hatchery because their website was inaccurate and they seemed to have bad...

I have no idea what they are but it does look like there's some silkie in there somewhere. They're adorable! I want some!

I really have no idea about how the APA would feel. Honestly it sounds like you have everything in order to me. I'd say it would probably be fine if you included a works cited or bibliography at the end it should be no problem at all. Beautiful illustrations by the way!

Writing this, I am only fourteen years old. I decided I wanted chickens when I read what good fertilizer they would make for my garden that was a tribute to my grandmother. I got my first chicks in June of 2013. My mom was less than thrilled. It was my dad that had agreed to let me get the...

I started my flock with chicks purchased locally. I wouldn't do it again. It seemed easier at the time than ordering from a hatchery but a lot went wrong. The man was a small flock owner and didn't keep his breeds separated very well. I asked for all rhode island reds and ended up with three...

So this March, I'm planning on getting a few babies from Murray McMurray. I'm planning on getting fifteen layers (before chicken math). Anyway, at this point in the year I will still be in school. The last time I raised chicks, was June of 2013 when I was off of school. Mainly, I'm concerned...

I modified a recipe that belongs to Jamie Oliver for Chicken Tikka Masala. I will give the original recipe first (courtesy of Jamie Oliver, found in Jamie's Food Revolution cookbook) and then I will tell you what I did. Ingredients 4 skinless chicken breast fillets 2 medium onions 1 fresh red...

I read this article because I was curious, what objections could this author possibly have to backyard chickens? However, the article is only suggesting the magnitude of the responsibilities of a chicken owner. It made me certain that I was raising my flock right. A must read...

I had rirs for a while too. It seemed that some of mine had white legs even though they were allowed to free range with the others with yellow legs. I believe it's kind of a genetics thing. However, it is believable that after being out and free ranging that their legs would look more yellow if...

Oh my goodness! That sounds like a beautiful flock! I hope Atilla comes down! You may have to shake some food around... or get a net...
