    My chicken barked at me.....

    I have a chicken named Jellybean. She comes in the house every night and sleeps in her cage. She is quite a character. Tonight She literally barked at me. I laughed so hard!!! I am not even kidding, She sounded like a high pitched little dog. I had no idea that chickens can mimic things...

    No tell tale signs - but the crowing is there

    I hatched 6 eggs on May 21 -23, It was an experiment, 6 eggs all random from a chicken house with 8 breeds. 2 didnt make it, and the 4 that did are amazing. I have identified 2 of them as roosters, which was a little upsetting because my neighbors are jerks. Now, I have one that had a comb...

    Chicks rejected

    The chick lived for a day .I think because she didn't absord the yolk there was no nutrients. I want to make sure I know when to give the surviving chicks food, water, and wood chips

    Intestines hanging out of vent, chicken dies

    The chickens are Orpingtons, and they refuse to roost, so sometimes they have little clingers, but nothing alarming. Its almost like the maggots are coming from inside, if that's even possible. It's a day and then they die, I just don't know what this is.

    I have recently lost all but 2 of my chickens. I would like to find a safe and kind home for them, as they are pets. These two are Orpingtons. One is lavender and one is a beautiful brown and gold. They have been well cared for, and it is a must, that this continues. These 2 are layer hens...

    Intestines hanging out of vent, chicken dies

    This is the second chicken in a month that I have lost to whatever this condition is. I have lost 2 from the heat, and am very upset with 2 left. The first time this happened, it was to a black chicken, so I couldn't see much, except for the maggots hanging out of her back end with all her...
