Unfortunately, she did not make it. We had brought her inside, and made her comfortable. We have a devastated 7 year old. This is the first hen we have lost in 5 years of having hens.
Unfortunately, we aren't able to be home. We did the best examination we could before we had to leave. I just wanted to make her as comfortable as possible. And talked to our girls about the possible outcome
This morning my husband went to check on our hens and eggs, and one of our Silver Laced Wyandotte was laying by the door, very lethargic. It looks like the other hens have been pecking her quite a bit as well. She has a patch of back feathers missing and the top of her comb is bloody. She opens...
They were in separate brooders but spent the days outside, in the pen. They have been doing so well together now that they are in the same brooder. Next step, is getting our flock to accept our 13 new comers into the coop
We did the look no touch for a few days, and now are on day 3 of hanging out all together. They are getting along pretty well for the most part. A tiff here, a peck here. But I would like to get the together permanently so they can get established and then slowly introduce this crew to our older...
Yes and thank you, I am obsessed. We also have 1 Golden Laced Wyandotte, 1 Barred Plymouth Rock, and 2 Blue Laced Red Wyandottes that are a few weeks older.

Welcome!!
Our ISA browns are wonderful players and are so sweet! Our daughter pushes her ISA in a stroller sometimes! We also have Buff Orpingtons and Astralorps. All have been great with our children!
Best of luck choosing baby chicks!!
Thank you!! I was thinking that may be the way. We have had a few warm days, so I brought the 5 week old girls out and put them in a secured, enclosed area with our older hens wondering around. But I would like to get the 3 week old chicks and 5 week old chicks together. Would that be a wise...
Hi!! I am from Minnesota and I have 8 lovely grown ladies (2 black astralorps, 3 ISA's and 3 Buff's). I recently purchased 2 BLRW, 1 Barred Rock and 1 Golden Laced Wyandotte. These girls are almost 5 weeks old. And then my shipment arrived at the country store. And we recieved 9, even though I...
