    Will my Chickens Eat My Fig Trees?

    My chickens are obsessed with eating my fig leaves. I have to sit and watch them so I can shoo them away, they are relentless with my 2 fig trees. I never witnessed any of my girls get sick from eating some of the leaves but I still won't allow them to eat any, they would eat every single leaf...

    Frizzled Easter Egger bantams

    I recently hatched 3 chicks. I crossed Easter Egger hens with a solid black frizzled bantam cochin rooster (my girls are regular sized and my roo is short). The babies are 4 weeks old, one is a female who has solid black feathers, black eyes, black mohawk, black beak, dark gray feathered legs...

    HELP! Lethargic silkie!

    My silkie bantam x started acting like this one day. I thought she was possibly egg bound as she was a new layer, less than a year old. So I gave her a warm Epsom salt bath for 20 minutes and then dried her off, gave her food and water but she wouldn't eat. She did exactly as you described...

    What breed is this?

    Oh ok thank you. I currently have a frizzled bantam cochin rooster. Do you know if breeding them together will be a problem?

    What breed is this?

    I just got this chicken. I was told it's a 4 month old pullet. What breed is she? I'm thinking maybe a Polish? She's so soft with a fluffy tail and feathered feet. She's very friendly and mild tempered, a little bit shy. My other hens run her off a little and she doesn't fight back at all. She's...

    Broody & Mean

    I think I'll try the ice bath 🤞. At this point I'll try about anything. Thank you for the tips!

    Broody & Mean

    She's been isolated for almost 2 weeks and she stays in overnight. She's unable to nest in there, only roost but she chooses to loaf on the ground. I try to let her out twice a day with supervision but she immediately resumes to bullying and aggressively mounting.

    Broody & Mean

    I currently have an almost 2 year old hen (backyard mix) that has gone broody and acting aggressively like a rooster towards the my other hens (Easter Eggers), under a year old. She's even trying to attack my four 2 month old babies (2 frizzled bantam cochin cockerels,1 red sex link pullet and 1...

    What breed are these and is it too early to tell gender?

    Oh I'm sorry, I forgot I did take some recent pics. Here are some from last week when they were 3 weeks old. The first 2 pics are one and the other 2 are the other one. Any ideas on their breeds? They are now about 4 weeks old.

    What breed are these and is it too early to tell gender?

    No, I don't have any updated pics because we've had so much rain lately, it's so muddy.

    What breed and possibly what gender?

    Thank you so much for your time!

    What breed and possibly what gender?

    Ok, knowing the light ones are most likely females is good news but oh it makes me sad to think both frizzles are cockerels, I was afraid to admit that's exactly what I was thinking so far. I was really hoping at least one of them would be a female. Do you have any idea how well they could do if...
