    The Rooster Mystery

    Thanks so much for all your detailed help! Yes, I know it is Polk Salad for sure, we have been just letting it grow because in the Spring the leaves can be cooked down and eaten by people with scrambled eggs and such. I didn't think about it being toxic to the chickens because I have seen...

    The Rooster Mystery

    Hello fellow chicken keepers: I have a problem I was hoping you all could help me figure out. Roosters have not fared well here the last year. Just the roosters. I have lost 5 in about a year. They act completely fine until it is too late, then one day I go out and they are weak, thin, and have...

    Keeping chickens off the deck

    So, this may be a little silly, but I have to ask. I have a deck with stairs at my back door that leads into the backyard. Everything is enclosed in a large privacy fence. The chickens live here, and it's the only place they can because of predators everywhere else. I like them here, but is...

    Arkansas folks speak up.........

    I agree on having just one kind if you want to improve the breed or start your own line or something...but from my experience I know I cannot have just one kind! I love all the different colors, both in the feathers and the eggs. To me it makes it all the more fun and adds a little individuality...

    Been a while since I checked in on here! Spring has sprung on the Funny farm. We have 7 EE and 3 RIR chicks 4 weeks old, and my blue wheaten Ameraucana is sitting on 8 Olive Egger and 2 EE eggs.

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    Oh cool! Then our chicks may turn out to be similar to one another. Larry is a strange color. Some say splash, some say porcelain. He is a creamy grey-white color with creamy yellow hackles and saddle feathers and his tailfeathers are light grey with dark gray splashes. Last time I tried to...

    Long live the King - the neverending story of Brahmalot!

    Great news! I hope he pulls through quickly! I have one light brahma, and he's a one year old rooster. He is very large, but a gentle giant as well, so one day about a month and a half ago, another rooster got too big for his britches and attacked him. There was blood everywhere and I found Ol'...
