    Bullying in the Coop (Pack behavior in chickens?)

    So... I had a lot of changes to spring on my chickens (integrate younger chicks with older ones, upgrade the coop, and move) so I opted to do them all at once. All seemingly went well. I moved my six young chicks to the new house and their new coop first. About a week later came my three older...

    Pullet lays three eggs right into my hand...

    Yesterday I found the first egg, or should I say eggshell from my babes. (They are 18 weeks old.) Imagine my surprise when I was putting the girls to bed tonight. One laid three eggs right onto my hand, one a tiny hard shell, one stightly bigger soft shell, and another soft that broke...

    Breeds of my Tractor Supply Red Pullets?

    My six TSC "assorted red pullets" are almost about six weeks old. Accepting that they might by all be crosses, I do seem to have three distinct different types among them. Thoughts? Two look a lot like my red sex link/comet did at this age but lighter, they are quite a bit bigger than the...

    Betty the Big Buff Brahma is Broody

    Henrietta is under the weather...

    I have a 6-month old Black Australorp hen who has been acting a little sick, moving slowly, ruffling her feathers, keeping her head tucked in, for the past couple of days. I just brought her inside to the kitchen for some TLC and to check on her eating, drinking and pooping. Not positive if...

    Need help identifying the breeds of my chicks?

    My partner brought home 19 chicks (three breeds, 13/3/3) from TSC in early March. Of course, he forgot the breed names... I certainly hope that they are mostly young ladies. I need to take some better pictures, but this is for starters. I am pretty sure three are Buff Brahmas (in the back of the...
