    My hen just died

    She was a Buff Orpington, around 4-5 years old. We got her along with a RIR in 2015. My profile picture is her when she was a few weeks old. I'm still trying to find out the cause of death. I have a Brown Leghorn that's a year older and she's still doing fine. The temperature has been mild...

    Not laying and molting in the summer?

    Hello, It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. I only post if there’s something unusual going on in my flock. Anyways, let’s get this started. If this sounds like a normal behavior then I’m sorry, I’m still learning. One of my one-year-old Easter Egger hens haven’t laid an egg since the...

    Traumatized Chick (Storytime)

    Yup, I have clipped their wings in the past. It grown back again (duh) but they don’t fly on top of the fence anymore. Probably last time I saw one of my hens escaping/flying out of the fence was 2 years ago. Now they just stick around in the backyard. Also the Amber White chick wasn’t evading...

    Traumatized Chick (Storytime)

    Before I'll get started, I am unsure of which subforum this belongs to so I'll post it here. Also, if you're the type of person that gets "triggered" by these posts, please feel free to leave this thread. I want to keep things "civil" here. I got 2 new chicks, one Amber White (Amber), and one...

    Easter Egger Pullet?

    I agree. I have both a pullet and cockerel EE around 14 weeks. The roo has a more bigger comb then the pullet.

    Rooster Recipes?

    Butchering a roo is a last resort. I thought of buying velcro strips on making my own collar but afraid it's gonna choke him or I don't have enough patience. I live in an urban area so I know roosters aren't allowed and also isn't my fault that I lost the chance that one of the baby chicks I...

    Rooster Recipes?

    I’m going to kill my *accidental* rooster so I can sleep and don’t have my neighbors or the police coming to my doorstep. It’s gonna be a farewell to my EE but he’s around 3-4 months old. I’m just asking for recipes that’s simple and delicious. (Rather butcher it over giving it away)

    What to do with an accidental rooster?

    It looks like I might have to get rid of the rooster. My neighbors haven't complained yet but for me, the crowing is already becoming a nuisance. It keeps crowing around late 7 am to 9 am. Not sure about the fall but will probably be around 5-6/7 am. Anyways, looks like a rooster dinner is...

    What to do with an accidental rooster?

    I went to the hatchery, they said that next season they will give us the Amber White hen, still unsure if it's an exchange or give us for free because of this incident but the red hen turns out to be a New Hampshire Red. They're done for this year, only turkeys left. For the rooster, they got...

    What to do with an accidental rooster?

    Even if the hatchery said that they won't have a trade for the mistaken rooster, should I go online an order a large No Crow Rooster Collar?

    What to do with an accidental rooster?

    Thank you for thoroughly explaining to me. I'm sorry everyone for my rough behavior, it's just that my last rooster must be butchered and I don't want it to happen again. I'm gonna take newer pictures because on Monday when the hatchery is opened, I'm going back there and see if we can exchange...

    2 Two Month Old Chicks Fighting?

    I would separate both as most people on this forum would to prevent any further damage especially to its comb.

    What to do with an accidental rooster?

    I am going back to the hatchery. Here is a picture for the breeds. They got the silver laced wyandotte and Easter Egger hens correct but the other 2 was a mistake. Have you’ve ever experienced this before like expecting a hen but it’s a rooster?

    What to do with an accidental rooster?

    I haven’t owned a rooster in 3-4 years, my first one, I had to butcher it becuase it was a noise complaint. I live in an urban residential neighborhood although I’m more close to farm lands then the city. This year I bought 4 chicks from the same hatchery I got my rooster at years ago. 3/4 of it...

    Birds Are Invading My Yard!

    I currently have 7 chickens, all hens, that are free ranged in my yard and I do have a nice large coop for them (might invest in a run). Recently, there have been these finches, like a flock of them not harming my chickens but are stealing the foods and leftovers. I do witnessed one or two...

    Chicks Joining Flock Inside Coop

    The chicks are actually really hard to catch now, it's literally more like a workout. They look sort of fully feathered? I'm not so sure. So that makes me wonder, how should I get them to like me or let me hold them? Thanks again!!

    Chicks Joining Flock Inside Coop

    I couldn’t sleep so I’d just forced myself to go out in my backyard just now and **carefully** (okay it was a little rough being in that little tight door with the chickens flying across your face) remove the chicks from the coop and placed them back into the nicely built pen right next to the...

    Chicks Joining Flock Inside Coop

    When you said one of your hen killed a chick, that made me scared and now I’m extra nervous about what I just did letting the chicks stay with the hens. What week should I let the chicks stay with the hens? Sunrise is about 6:21 am where I live. I set an alarm at 6 am. Should I do it a little...

    Chicks Joining Flock Inside Coop

    I don’t have bedding BUT I do have these small boxes that I fold down. The right side isn’t covered but the left side of the coop does. I’ll try to take a new picture of the coop tomorrow morning.
