    Can anyone tell me what kind of chicken this is?

    I impulse bought some “mixed breed” fertile eggs from eBay and out of 14 eggs, only two hatched. This little one was the first and I can’t seem to figure out the breed. Also, this is the first time I’ve ever had a chicken that would rather cuddle with me than the other chicks in the brooder.

    First time hatching

    first time hatching chicks here and have been given some conflicting advice. We were told not to open the incubator after day 18 to keep the humidity up. Fine, understood. Our incubator STINKS so bad so we have a possible rotten egg in there that we should “find and remove immediately” but we...

    Coyote attack! Need advice!

    My boyfriend has tried to get them the last 3 years cause they are messing with his deer hunting but they’re tricky critters to hunt I guess. I would have hit it with my car if it wasn’t for that darn corn field.

    Not yet. It was dark by the time I got out there to lock the pen up for the night and I needed my phone for the flashlight. I’ll get a pic in the morning in the daylight after I rinse her off.

    Oh boy. I’m just getting started and I’ve already spent about $2000. Bout to spend more to make the pen bigger since I can’t bear to let them free range any more :/

    Coyote attack! Need advice!

    I understand! I couldn’t sleep when one chicken didn’t come home one night. I looked for any sign of her for a couple hours the next day. That should have been my warning to keep them locked up but I just couldn’t say no to their cute little chicken faces when I fed them in the morning. Sigh...

    Thanks. I’m definitely going to look her over more thoroughly tomorrow. The way I’m feeling tonight, you’d think one of my human children were attacked and not my chickens. Crazy how attached you get to them in such a short period of time

    Coyote attack! Need advice!

    Thanks! Should I rinse her bum with water before putting the blue Kote on? I have no idea how bad it really is. It was dark out there by the time I went to close the pen gate.

    Coyote attack! Need advice!

    We have been free ranging our chickens and they’re so happy. Today I came home to find a coyote in my back yard (it was 5:30 PM), most of my hens missing and a pile of feathers by their favorite tree. I ran the coyote off and all the chickens came back but one :( One of my hens had all her...

    When will I know??

    Do they crow a lot? I'm wondering if I could get away with keeping him. I don't want to have to get rid of him.
