    We've been really busy this past year. We made a big move. We finally pick up chicks next week to start again after having to sell our last flock to move across the country.

    Broken egg and moving a hen

    Would it be better to just close the other girls out during the daytime and put a crate as a temporary nest?

    Broken egg and moving a hen

    Hi everyone, We had one of our girls crack one of our broody hen's eggs stepping on it. The membrane is completely intact still and we do not have an incubator. We have 2 questions. 1) is the egg still viable? We are on day 17. 2) we are thinking of moving her. We have built a little...

    Chicken first aid kit

    Hi everyone. I'm very new to raising chickens and I was hoping to know what you all think are essential items to have in a first aid kit for your flock. We only have 6 girls, but things can happen and I'd like to be prepared if possible. Thanks so much

    Official BYC Poll: Do You Clip Your Chickens' Wings?

    Ours are still babies and they don't leave the run. We haven't decided what we will do when they start free ranging. We have several tall trees in the yard, so I imagine if we ever need to call someone to get a chicken out of a tree, or if they start going into neighbours' yards we would have...

    Not sure what I have!

    That's what I thought. We have a few girls but definitely most of them are boys, I just really needed a second (or really as many as possible) opinion. Thank you so much. I feel more confident in my choices of who I'm trading.

    2 of the barred were hatched by a friend's hen, I'm not sure where she got the eggs, and the others were hatched by someone local. She's willing to buy back any roos, so that's not a huge concern, but you do fall in love and hope for more girls!

    Pic 3-5 are the same bird. I know the one barred is a cackerel, I just wasn't sure of breed. They have a lot of yellowish undertone, so assuming not barred rock. Thanks for your input. I'm hoping for more girls, but I think I picked almost all boys (that would be my luck haha).

    Hello :)

    Hi, I'm Shelley. I'm only 5 weeks into being a chicken momma, raising some chicks. I have 9 babies and of course I have no idea what most of them are. I'm hoping for girls as we aren't allowed any boys where I'm located. I'm so happy to have found such a wealth of information and knowledge...

    Not sure what I have!

    Hey everyone! Everyone seems so knowledgable here and I'm hoping you can shed some light on a few questions. My chicks are 5.5 weeks. I'm not sure of the breed for 4 of them. And I'm not sure the sex for 5 of them. Any insights would be so much appreciated. New to this and I didn't...
