    Gone without a trace??

    I FOUND HER! Why would she be sitting in one spot all day though? She hasn't been laying.

    Gone without a trace??

    Ok so I let my chickens out for about 30-45 minutes every morning and every evening. I live in a neighborhood with a very secure chain link fence. This morning when I came to put the birds back in their coop, I realized one was missing (black sex link @ almost a year old). I looked EVERYWHERE...

    hen won't lay eggs in coop!

    Thank you so much, she's out there now just pacing the fence! I'm leaving them locked up for today and I'll do away with her porch nest! I love her laying there on the porch but I can't always leave her out all day to do her business. Hopefully one day she will lay in the boxes I have for them!

    hen won't lay eggs in coop!

    This is probably a very dumb worry! My hen just recently began laying eggs a few days ago, but she only wants to lie them on my porch! Today I came out as they were locked up in coop, and saw Betty pacing the fence to be let out, so I only let her out and she ran RIGHT to the porch to lay...My...

    Clipping wings on chickens

    Has anyone cut the primary feathers off of their birds? I'm having issues with them flying in my neighbors yard and getting stuck. Do you think trimming would solve this issue? Or am I screwed? It's about a 4-4 1/2 ft chain link fence. I don't want to clip if it's not going to help anything.

    What is this chicken?

    Right, just please don't say they're pure and I end up not knowing what in the world I've got! I'll be ordering all of my chicks from online next time around!

    First time chicken owner!

    None of them mess with her...believe me or not! I'm thinking molting. Shes the only one who is aggressive, my RIR is aggressive toward my 5 week olds whenever treats are involved of course, but other than that they all stay clear of my BSL. But thanks for the replies!

    First time chicken owner!

    Yes! I watch them closely as well... We don't have a rooster that's anywhere old enough to mess with her either. She's always the one pecking everyone else and pushing them around. Theyre all very healthy, but she's the only one who lost those tail feathers! Out of the ten we own, her and my RIR...

    First time chicken owner!

    BSL pullet around 14-15 weeks old began loosing tail feathers a few days/week ago! She's the top girl in the coop so I don't suspect anyone pulling them out. Is this normal?
