    Baby chick born with one wing

    I ordered chicks for the first time from mcmurray. I ordered 2 ameracaunas. I know they are easter eggers. But after I've had them for a week and they are starting to feather, one has only one wing and a nub for the other. Does anyone have any experience with this? It's definitely a birth...

    Sick White leghorn hen

    Saturday it was extremely hot and humid. I went out to check my chickens and one was stumbling around and unable to maintain her balance. I grabbed her and brought her inside. Thought she was was overheated. She eats anything in front of her. She will not drink water though. I have syringed some...

    Dog Attack

    Sunday afternoon tragedy struck. 2 dogs from a half a mile down the road (owners have chickens too) massacred my flock. My babies free range from 12 to 6 daily. We heard something and my husband ran outside and saw the dogs. He grabbed a gun and while chasing to get a shot he fell. He broke a...

    Hi, a few weeks ago I thought my chickens were ready to be integrated. They are 11 weeks apart. I think the youngest were about 6 weeks. I did the no touch for a couple weeks. Then did supervised free ranging and moved on to them being the run together supervised. After a few days of this I...

    My first egg!

    I waited 5 months for this and the day has come! My smallest chicken of my first flock laid her first egg and it was in the nesting box. I'm so proud of her. Thank you Georgia. She is a rhode island red. It's tiny but it's so perfect 🥰

    Rehoming chickens

    I have 6 rhode island red chickens. 3 are mixed with something else. They are 18 weeks. They have been bullying my smaller chicks and I have been working on integration for a month now. Everything had calmed down. Yesterday one of my 8 week Olds was scalped. She's doing ok. I'm considering...

    Help please. Issues integrating

    I have had my 9 week old chickens free ranging during the day for about a week now this was after about 2 weeks of them being in a cage with the 18 week old chickens. Things were finally calming down and we also extended our run to allow plenty of space for everyone. They all hung out together...

    Dwarf chicken?

    My Easter egger has always been smaller than her flock. She's 7 weeks. Her legs are half the size of all the other breeds I have. Is she a dwarf? She has always been much smaller. She took forever to feather but she eats normally and is super spunky. If she is what should I expect?

    7 week old chick ate my earring

    It's a cheap fake pearl earring but will that little hag be ok? I'm so mad at her and myself and pray she will be ok. She reached up and snatched it out of my ear and swallowed it.....shes a barred rock. The earring is a medium sized pearl. She doesn't seem affected at all and it is not visible...

    How to determine when a Rooster is too Rough

    I am new to this. I have a group of 6 Rhode Island Reds. 3 of those are RIR Mixes. The group has one Rooster, he is full RIR. They are 14 weeks old. I hadn't intended to keep a rooster but really loved him. He is becoming a little bit of an A$$hole though. He pecks the ladies when they try to...

    Free Ranging

    I let my 13 week Olds free range today for 4 hours. I normally do an hour and stay with them. But today I had to force myself to leave them. I'm so proud of them! They watched for hawks and stayed near the tree line. I kept an eye on them through the window and checked on them often. I am amazed...

    Stinky Poop Butters

    I have a 3 almost 4 week old chick named Butters. I recently determined it is a white leghorn I think rather than the Buff Orpington I thought I was getting. LOL. It has been perching and flying its coop since basically week one. Super sweet but OMG it has the stinkiest poop. I do not think it...

    Is this an Easter Egger?

    I bought this from a local man. He had ordered straight run chicks. He said they were easter eggers. The one I purchased was the last one left when I got my other breeds. It has been a very slow grower but is eating, drinking, healthy, and feisty. By far the sweetest in my group of barred rock...
