    Bobwhite with just hatched chicks has gone broody? Should I be worried?

    Recently thanks to a sociopath chicken I was on the brink of losing my last bobwhite. In order to prevent that, I had to take her inside to keep her warm while all her snapped and broken feathers grew back. Since she was the last one, I decided to try and hatch a bunch of eggs she had laid all...

    Chicken seems to have a seriously massive gas problem, but seems fine otherwise.

    Every time I have gone out to feed my two english game hens, one of them inevitably lets out a very very long whistle fart that goes on for about 1-2 minutes. She does it so regularly that I've gotten a good look to see if something is wrong with her when it's happening. Other than getting...

    Great English documentary on Chickens Answers a lot of questions about chickens

    One highlight shows a hen swallowing a mouse she caught whole. Chickens have much better vision when it comes to spotting "movement" than humans do. When something moves fast, we see a blur, but a Chicken will see clear smooth movement. Watch the "pecking order" chickens create for...

    Brown eyed chickens?

    It seems most chickens seem to have some sort of orange shade of eye color.with an occasional green or blue. I have a chicken who has definite brown eyes. They are so dark, that here eyes look black in normal light. I have to shine a light directly into her eyes to see her dark brown irises...

    My chicken's favorite food is Fried Chicken

    Stewed Chicken, baked chicken, chicken cooked in any way it seems gets their heart going and their beaks watering. They are unapologetic cannibals. Has anyone else found out this dark secret about their flock? ;) I couldn't believe it at first how aggressively and eagerly they consumed their...

    The world's smallest Rooster? You have to see the picture.

    I was doing some research and came across this picture. Check out the super tiny rooster on the Right edge of the table. It's a picture from a Malaysian news site, and I don't read Malay, but it's not necessary to see that is one small rooster LOL...

    Is it common today to have super small roosters like these guys?

    Below are a bunch of pictures of the duo. I'm new to this, and I know the Seramas can get small, but I don't know how small. These guys are the offspring of a Serama Rooster and a an English Game Hen. Their dad weighs in at about 20 oz. and their Mom weighs in at about 12oz. They're...

    Baby chicken doesn't have a comb or wattle. Is this normal? Could it be a HYBRID!

    It doesn't have a comb. Instead it has a row of very tiny bumps with tiny bit of down sprouting out of each bump. It may be hard to see the down in the photos though. I could barely see it when I held it. The little bumps are black not red like every other chicken I've seen. Is it normal...

    My chickens love dog food, especially the wet stuff.

    it's funny to watch them go at it when I put a can of wet dog food out for them. They like to eat big chunks of the stuff, even though they have to clean off their beaks to eat the next bite. They like dry dog food too, which is convenient, because my spoiled dogs will often not eat what I...

    Chickens trying to communicate it seems

    I've noticed that spontaneously or nearly so one chicken or another will start to do things that are intended to clearly send me a message to do something for them. The easiest example is about food. They have associated me with food of course, but what's interesting is what they do if I...
