    What breed is on the home page?

    I'm just wondering what kind of chicken is on the home page, right now, on the "chicken breeds" section. It's a really pretty black and white chicken with a really neat pattern. I hope someone answers this before the picture changes. Thanks!

    Little Dark Brahma Bully...

    I have 2 BRs, 2 EEs and 1 Dark Brahma chick. They are all 2.5 wks old and the Dark Brahma has been going around pecking at everyone and sorta' picking fights. Some stand up to her and some just cower. Is this all just part of them deciding their pecking order?

    Lying down outside in snow?

    I'm a little worried about one of my BRs. I saw her sitting down on the cold ground, today. She seems fine, other than that, but I just wondered if she may be doing it because her feet were cold or if it may be something more. I haven't noticed anything else unusual, but I'm just concerned...

    My chicken is acting weird...

    This AM when I went out to let my girls out (3 Barred Rocks under a year), one of them flew up into the air in the coop and almost made it over the wall. She struggled to fly up the screen, but didn't make it and fell back down onto the floor. My other two just went outside and when I peeked...

    Still not laying...

    I have 3 Barred Rock hens and of them hasn't started laying yet. My other 2 started in November and faithfully give me an egg a day. The one who hasn't started laying, received an injury to her comb/head, a couple months ago. She cut her comb on the fence while trying to reach through for...

    Barred Rock Hen from Brewer, Maine looking for new home

    She is 1.5 yrs old and a great layer, but I'm having alot of trouble integrating her in with my flock. She was from the country and would free-range, so maybe the city life just isn't for her. I have to keep mine in a coop. I think it would go better if they were in a bigger space. She's...

    Finally, one of my girls laid her first egg!!

    My husband found it, this AM, but unfortunately it was outside and frozen. Atleast, it's a start!:) Is it OK to eat an egg that has been frozen?

    Ate a boiled egg...

    My girls are about 25 weeks old and still not laying. So last weekend I thought maybe if I put a boiled egg, instead of a wooden egg in their laying boxes, maybe that might give them a better clue. Yesterday, when I was cleaning their coop, I noticed one of them gone and today, I found a piece...

    Integrating a new chicken

    We were given a 1.5 yr old Barred Rock hen, this fall and I'm working on integrating her in with my original 3 Barred Rocks (6 months old). We live in the city and they don't free-range. My girls have a nice little coop but there isn't much room for my new chicken to get away. We've had her...

    My city chickens

    Hi, My name is Kim and I'm new to this BYC forum. I grew up on a farm, but married a "city boy" and didn't think I could have chickens where we live. Happily found out that we could and purchased some week old Barred Rock chicks, last spring. Thankfully, they all turned out to be hens. So...
