What breeds of chickens should I look into? We currently have some tan egg layers and one lucky olive egger, but I've always wanted to see blue or darker colored "chocolate" eggs or others. Which breeds of chickens lay interesting colors of eggs? Thanks!

hello, today we discovered a severe case of worms in one of our chickens, and not long ago she just passed... now i need to deworm the whole flock... i have heard that i should try Wazine, but would that apply to all worms or should i try to find out what type of worm it is first? any help would...

Quote: Thank you! and thanks for posting! Penguin is the perfect name for your girl there, and the patterns on her are really nice!

Quote: Yea, right now I have mostly mutts, and mostly roosters unfortunately but they're still awesome!! And your birds are lovely btw, may I ask, what is that bird in the second picture? The one in the foreground?

Quote: Aww, so cute!! And oh, I have a rooster that looks exactly like the red one in the second pic there!! They're so pretty Oh! and your rescue in the last pic, I think he's quite the find. The barring is quite spectacular on him. I think i read somewhere that barred EE's were uncommon, so...

Wow! Thanks for all the help and replies on what to do. I will check her tomorrow again to make sure, but when I felt the lump yesterday it seemed to be a bit hard, not squishy as the crop would usually be. Then again maybe it isnt the crop, but if it's not then what on earth is it...

Quote: Goodness, that is a strange looking bird, but my gosh he/she is absolutely amazing! Look at all those colors!!! I have one of my own right now that seems to be a mix of a bunch of random breeds. Here he is right now at about 3 months...

Oh wow, thank you Tallulah! Right now our girl is a lot better, I've sprayed a few coats of Blu Kote on her and the wound has stopped bleeding already. Right now I'm waiting for it to heal completely. I just don't know when I can let her back out though. Should we wait until the feathers have...

oh wow, really? marshmallows? Wow, would've never thought of that, haha, thanks!

Hello! I've had the exact same experience. We cut too deep that time and it must've hit a blood feather or something. So it started bleeding. We cleaned the wound and put ointment on the feather head that were bleeding and then placed it back in the run. She's perfectly fine now, besides the...
