    I think we have an impacted crop...

    I noticed a few days ago, maybe even earlier this week, that one of my 6-8 week old chicks seemed to have a bigger crop than the others consistently. For a while I thought it was just enlarged because she had eaten, but the more I checked in on the chicks the more different she looked and she...

    Ok going outside?

    Yes, another thread about when those babies can go outside. I'm sorry. I'm just a terribly specific person, and there's so many vague answers out there. So I have 6 chicks who are approximately 4 weeks old now. I have a temporary coop ready for them outside where they can continue to grow...

    Barred Rock vs. Cuckoo Marans Chicks

    I just got my spring chicks and have both a Cuckoo Marans and a Barred Rock in the mix. They look very similar, and an internet search took a while to figure out the subtle differences. They both have white spots on their heads and mostly black fuzz - the main difference is that Marans legs...

    New Chicks for 2013

    Just sharing pictures of my new chicks. My firstborn "chick" shows up in a few of them as well. :) Australorp Easter Egger - the cheek poof on both of them is adorable, IMHO. :) (Do all bearded chickens just look a little "Derpy"? Hurrr...) Cuckoo Marans - yes, her toenails...

    Egg Color, Size, and Shape Variability?

    I looked through about 30 old threads on eggs changing colors, and got some helpful info, but not exactly the answer I'm looking for. And this is a bit of a saga, so bear with me, please. After a recent decimation of my original flock by a neighbor dog, I got 3 approximately year-old hens from...

    Craigslist "rescue" chickens - what breed?

    I just got some scrawny near-rescue-level ?mutt chickens and a rickety coop off of Craigslist to try to replace my girls who got nailed by a dog this weekend. :( I'm pretty sure I have two barred rocks (one hen, one rooster), two easter eggers, and some general barnyard sort of rooster. The...

    Another "When Will They Lay" Thread...

    There are a great many threads already titled "When Will My Chickens Start Laying". I read a bunch of them, but I didn't really find the info I wanted. I've googled it and can't find a good answer either. So I'm guessing there probably isn't a good answer, but at least I can commiserate. I...

    Barred Rock pullet or cockerel?

    There's always one in the bunch. You know, That Chicken. The one who gives you the evil eye, who from the beginning chirps insistently at you as if to tell you that whatever you're doing is unacceptable, who stands out from the flock and sizes you up as at least an equal, if not an inferior...

    Hello from Colorado

    Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes, I'm new to having chickens myself. I grew up next to neighbors who raised an amazing variety of birds of all types, including chickens, pigeons, geese, ducks, and turkeys. About 3 weeks ago, I purchased 3 barred rocks and 3...
