    My Blue orp is a mama!!

    We free ranged our birds, and lost one here and there over the last year, but felt that was acceptable. However this spring, a family of at least five hawks moved in and we lost five birds in two weeks! We penned in our girls hoping the hawks would eventually move on so we can free...

    Three pullets ... I hope

    Yeah your red looks mixed for sure - but don't worry, she will most likely lay better than a heritage, though not for as many years. My red mixes are the friendliest of my bunch, they will jump in your lap. :)

    4.5 month old RIR...girl or boy??

    She looks like my reds and I have personally seen eggs drop out of their butts. Don't worry! Here's one of my girls:

    I woke up and my buff orp hen turned roo!

    I hope so!! When I got these chicks and people said, you may not know until it lays an egg or crows, I thought they were exaggerating. Boy was I wrong!

    I woke up and my buff orp hen turned roo!

    HELP!! I think Henrietta has suddenly turned into a Henry. So Henrietta feathered in slower than her sister, Frannie, but both chickens have looked exactly the same for months. Here is one of Henrietta a month ago - no comb, same degree of face redness as the other chickens: But...

    Baby photos! 10 different breeds :)

    Just picked up my girls from the post office - great job on the shipping by Meyer Hatchery. I think I have identified them all. Please correct me if you think I've got something mixed up! All should be pullets. Box full of perky, chirping babies! #1 - Barnevelder Chick #2 Barred...

    Deer ticks by their eye sockets - is this a problem?

    The three acres or so we use as a back yard has very few trees in it, and the girls spend most of their time in the sun just beside the tree line. We haven't been able to mow for the last week due to thunderstorms - I guess that's part of the problem! I'm mostly just wanting to know if...

    Deer ticks by their eye sockets - is this a problem?

    My hens are around four months old and have been free ranging in our yard during the day time. I noticed that several of them have been hosting some hitchhikers - little deer ticks - right around their eye sockets. They don't seem to be bothered by them. I picked up a few of the girls and...

    HELP! Unexpectedly processing my first chicken

    So my dog killed one of my chickens. I caught her with it and it died a few minutes later from crushing injury - no open wounds on him. Hopefully I responded properly with the shock collar training that followed - it was hard to not be excessive but I tried to keep calm and I think she...

    The Health Care Law.

    I appreciate your joke about a Lifetime Priority Bill The only reason I think this "intrusion" by the government is necessary is because failure to purchase your own health insurance negatively affects those with health insurance. I think one of the main functions of government is to...

    The Health Care Law.

    Wow well I have only read part of this, but I am a nurse and I'd just like to say that it is across the board irresponsible to not have health insurance, no matter what your age. I don't care if you are "25 and healthy", I work in critical care and guess what, people of all ages get sick for no...

    Fluff and stuff

    So cute! I have heard people say larger legs can mean it's a roo, but I have one buff orpington with huge legs as a chick and it turned out to be a hen. Just have to wait and see! :)

    Introducing New Chicken - Different Age

    I think you should make two separate side by side pens and have two food and water stations. I think it is too early to think about giving the new girl away - any time you add a strange chicken, this is likely to happen. They will get over it in time, hopefully, but you don't want them getting...

    Purina Mills Coop - Big Enough?

    I have a 2x8 foot coop for 10 birds who are just over three months old, and seven of them roost all together on the single roost on one side. If you have three staggered roosts like it shows in the schematic, I think you may actually be okay. But it will probably be cramped. If you can...

    I got some chicks (faverolle pair and a blue orp) from Noriko and they are beautiful and healthy - well worth the trip north for us! Here are the guys a few weeks ago - the salmon faverolles are growing huge fluffy muffs now, although they look smallish in this photo:
