    Thanks! We can't have them withing the city limits, but the woman I bought them from was nice enough to exchange him for a pretty little pullet from the same flock- But compared to my other hens, these girls are flighty and timid. I'm not sure if they will get better with time or if it's...

    OK- Now that I look from the side, It's pretty obvious that he's a cockerel (saddle feathers and tail is beginning to curve). Excuse the poor photo :|

    Thanks for the feedback, I'll post photos this evening, but after this morning's sun salutations there is very little doubt that I do indeed have at least one cockerel in the bunch. I shouldn't have gotten attached to the little guy and his punk rock hair...

    Hi All- It's been a while since my last post- My girls are all doing great (aside from the end of summer egg slow down). I have a question for those of you familiar with Polish chickens. I picked up two golden laced "pullets" on a whim about 6 weeks ago. I thought they were about 3 months old...

    She's at the top of the pecking order, but has been squabbling with one of the giant BSL's for the top spot. I've quarantined her away from the other girls to prevent picking. I've been feeding her yogurt with active cultures and a tiny bit of apple sauce over the weekend (with lots of free...

    Thanks samsr- I tried the massage last night and again this morning, but nothing came out. I put her in the brooder by herself with some probiotic water this morning and will watch her throughout the day. This morning her crop was a little smaller and not so squishy. She not acting any...

    Hi All, My 1-year-old RIR is quite an eater, but this morning when I let her out of the coop, her crop was enlarged and felt like it was filled with water. I've been reading about the difference between impacted and sour crops, but I'm wondering if this a normal thing for big eaters- she was...

    Hi Everyone, I have an EE who might be molting? Is this the correct time of year? She's missing tail feathers and feathers under her chin (all-in-all looking pretty ragged). She's eating and laying, could it be something else?

    I'm so sorry to hear that Wendell- I'm sending comforting thought your direction. Wendy, You're pretty brave. I would likely hide in the house... I did some research up on Pike's Peak a couple years ago and the whole time I was petrified I would come face-to-face with either bears or mountain...

    Hi Everyone (waves hello), Just thought I would check in and share that my RIR started laying (finally), but she's been pretty reliable. Yesterday was the first day in a week that I didn't find a brown egg. I think both the EE's are laying too because I'm getting smooth green eggs and chalky...

    Just wanted to poke my head in and say I hope everyone is safe and sound after last night's storm.

    Marigold's eggs are getting bigger (last Thursday's compared to yesterday's). We might get enough for breakfast this weekend.
