    Aggressive black sexlink!

    Hey yall, I have 3 established chickens, one of which is a very large black sexlink. Last spring, I added 4 more chicks and by the time they were large enough, I put them in the chicken yard with the older girls. Since then the black chicken goes nuts on them all the time, chasing them down and...

    I'll be giving her some eggs and oatmeal once I get this treated. Have some Sulmet to put in her water. She's a salmon faverolle, age 1 year and 2 months

    Dog injury need suggestions on wound care!

    My favorite chicken just got attacked by a dang dog. It took her feathers out and consequently, the skin on the back of her neck, above her wing blades. it's about a 2 inch patch exposed when I look under her feathers. I"m finding conflicting advice about how to treat. Details: her mouth...

    Spitzhaubens

    This is my second crested silver spangled appenzeller spitzhauben. (I LOVE saying that!! Lol). She's about 4ish months in this pic. Just like the bantam one I had, she is my favorite! These three are the "new girls" to the flock, i have 3 more that are a hear older. But there are definitely...

    Busted! Found the secret nest.

    Hahaha...natural instincts..right? I would try to hide them from me too! It's so odd though because MingMing, the one that gave the nest away has like, a blow horn when she lays an egg in the coop (and I agree about the big nasty human boxes! Lol). But she'd go on FOREVER! And since she...

    Chicken taken this am. Ok to add chicks?

    Bunnylady, thank you for being so supportive and sharing that information! I took that loss really hard! After I bolstered their security, I did what any chicken obsessed person would do...I ran out and returned with 3 juvenile pullets! A black sexlink, salmon faverolle and an appenzeller...

    Busted! Found the secret nest.

    So, I thought our chickens had stopped laying eggs over the last 2 weeks because they had been pigging out on all the raspberries and blackberries in their yard. But yesterday when I thought our lemon amerucana was stuck and wedged into a bramble, she had left by the time I got back with my...

    Chicken taken this am. Ok to add chicks?

    So, my wonderful copper maran was killed by a raccoon this morning. So now I have 3 hens left but am wondering if I should get 8 week old pullets now or wait until next spring. It's at the tail end of chick season here. Irridessa (RIP) was the alpha so as far as the psychology goes, I don't...

    1 year old chicken, no eggs for last 3 days?

    I must be a pushover...I have yet to keep them in the coop for a whole day since the first two days that they transferred into it. Mostly now, it's because of our loudmouth "MingMing". I swear! That one is a piece of work! If she's not let out by 7:30-8:00 am she broadcasts to the entire...

    1 year old chicken, no eggs for last 3 days?

    Hi Y'all! Sooo, I have a chicken, wellsummer, just turned 1 year old and for the last 3 days, she hasn't laid any eggs that I have seen. She's a little skittish and not particularly people friendly but she's been laying once a day with the other girls. She's at the bottom of the hierarchy and...

    Only one hen is laying

    Hmm, I live in pdx, OR and I'm in a similar situation. 2 easter eggers, 1 barred rock, 1 wellsummer. (Already lost my favorite girl, my apenzeller spitzhauben :( ) anyhoos, all were born around April 11th. Only one is laying. I was told by my friend, 'chicken Pete' to do the low watt light...

    Lemon EE, feathers falling out, 24 weeks old, no eggs?

    oh ok, that's interesting. They can start molting before they start laying eggs? Also, the weather has been consistently 80-95 degrees over this past month. I have another EE from the same catch of eggs, so to speak and she's not molting. I guess this is a personal thing? Or perhaps some...

    Lemon EE, feathers falling out, 24 weeks old, no eggs?

    Hi there! I have a lemon EE, and about 80% of the feathers in the chicken yard are hers. She had hopped the fence about a month ago and our dog tried to "help" me catch her. Luckily, she survived but has been tossing feathers ever since. Do you think she'll ever lay eggs? Our dog tries to...

    Integrating single pullet?

    Hi all, I have a small flock of 5 pullets. all about 16 to 17 weeks old. A friend lost her chickens all except for one and she's about the same age if not a lil bit older. So my questions is, would it be safe to integrate one chicken into the flock? Or should it really be two at a time at...
