    Boys or girls? Wyandotte x Australorps

    Hello everyone! I recently had a couple of broods hatch out a couple of weeks apart and am now starting to wonder which ones are boys and which ones are girls. Actually I'm losing my mind trying to keep track of who is who and can only really tell them apart by which foster mother each brood...

    Sick chicken! Urgent, please help!

    Moving chooks to the new coop extension?

    So I have a little backyard flock of mixed breeds who free range during the day and nest at night in a secure coop. The coop was getting a bit small for them all so I spent 15 back breaking hours building a coop extension for my five lovely ladies. Two weeks later they still aren't using it! I...

    What breed are these lovely ladies?

Apparently chickens make fantastic therapy animals, but i'm sure we all thought that already That sure is the effect they have on me! Anyway, at the time I didn't think to ask many questions but now I'd like to know what breed...

    5 week old Pekin Bantams - boys or girls??

    Both these lovely little ones are from the same clutch of eggs. The little white one has taken longer to feather out but the lavender one is bigger and doesn't seem anywhere near as shy as the white one. Here are some pics, what do you think? Fingers crossed they're both girls...

    Crows attacking full grown chook?

    One of my dearest darling chooks has a problem with her eyesight and tends to like to keep her own company and so more often than not she'll be free-ranging on the other side of the yard to the other adults. Yesterday, I was in the kitchen, doing the washing up and watching the chooks, and a big...
