    Do Hens change appearance as they get older?

    My Hen Andale looks way different than she did only a week ago! I am concerned someone switched her? There are a lot of wild hens out in the yard... Here's what I noticed right away.. Her comb was short and squawty, and now it's tall and defined! Her feet and legs were white, and are now...

    My Roo and Hen came back!

    In July of this year, I released two of Speedy's babes... Vomonos and Honey. We drove them over a mile away and released them in a macadamia nut orchard. We knew they'd be safe there. Two days ago, I was surprised when I went out to feed Andale, both Vomonos and Honey had found they're way...

    Speedy's chicks are doing great!

    All of Speedy's chickies are great... there was only one egg that didn't hatch, and since I had to assist #2 egg (it was in the wrong position) I'm thinking that's probably what happened to #1. :-( I have four beautiful babies though. #2 hatch is just like her mama...it likes to be the center...

    Speedy's Beautiful Babies!!

    Thanks to everyone who gave me Comfort when Speedy died...I was grief stricken for weeks when Speedy, my pet hen died suddenly while incubating her eggs... I'd never owned a chicken before, but was extremely attached to her. When she died, I found a Brinsea Mini Advance and put her eggs in...

    I hear one of my eggs chirping...

    I'm on day 19/20 of incubation and I am hearing only one of my eggs chirping, should I be alarmed if I don't hear the others chirp too? Is it ok that I candled it?

    Now that they are incubating, what do I do??

    Chicken Pox

    Does anyone know how long chicken pox usually lasts? My hen has had it (at least I think that's what it is) for almost 5 days. Any advice? I'm giving her antibiotics, she's eating well, drinking plenty and getting lots of stress-less rest.

    Please Help - Sick Chicken

    Does anyone know what this is? This is Speedy, my Hen. I've had her since I found her egg...she was in the middle of hatching and all her siblings and mama were mauled in a dog attack. :-( She is use to being indoors. I recently (maybe 5 weeks ago) moved her outside into a small round coop...
