    Could this be a pheasant chick?

    My friend found a couple chicks by the side of the road in a park here in Colorado Springs. She assumed they were chickens and took them home. One died overnight. She brought the other one to me today. (pictures below) The chick is healthy and vigorous and noisy. Another friend (who has...

    Wierd spiral grooves on my eggs???

    Hey all. I have a Barred Rock girl (Mayflower) who's about 2 1/2 and just started laying again after a couple month's hiatus. She laid a couple normal eggs, but over the last four days, she has laid eggs with a progressively deeper and deeper spiral groove from the top to the bottom. We see...

    RIR - Boy or Girl? w/pics

    Hi! We have a 4-week old RIR chick. "Her" feathers are coming in, and for the first time in my experience, some of the tail feathers are curled downward. Also, "she" has a much livelier personality than any other chick we've had, exploring, jumping, generally being much more animated and...

    Everyone quit laying - I feel like chicken tonight

    Hey all. I'm frustrated here. I actually had to BUY eggs for the first time in years. We have 5 hens, all just a couple years old. In the past, they have all laid more or less consistently. For the last couple months, egg production has been dropping, until now, we get maybe 1-2 eggs/week...

    Integrating young injured bird into adult flock (pretty urgent)

    Hi. I have a new 7-week old pullet/chick and four adult hens. The little one is hiding under the coop. I can't get her to come out, and the big girls are not being nice to her. When we first picked her up, I noticed some feathers missing from her tail area, but once we got her home (before...

    How long should I wait?

    I have 4 pullets, 3 of whom are laying frequently, even in this bitter cold. They all started before their 6-month birthday (which was last week). Just our Golden Polish, Basia, is holding out on us. She's become the noisiest little girl, though. Squawks and honks and growls all day long...

    How to change thread subject?

    I posted in the buy-sell-trade and the chickens sold... I see some threads that have "~SOLD~" in their titles, which would suggest that there's a way to change it after it's posted. Help please?

    Colorado Springs - 4 birds need homes *SOLD*

    Ok, here's the deal... We got 8 chicks in June (hatched May 30 at McMurray), set up a coop/run for them, and have been loving it! However, our Family Council recently decided that, well, their area looked a lot bigger when they were a lot smaller. We don't want them to be crowded. Also...

    Egg Eating - read other threads, still have questions

    Ok, here's my deal... I have 8 pullets, two of whom I are for sure laying. The leghorn didn't give us any trouble when she started. We just had cute little white eggs - no problem! Then another started, and we think it's an EE, but not sure... After about 2 weeks, there started to be little...

    Who laid that???

    Hi yall! We have 8 girls, all hatched May 30. Daisy, our Pearl Leghorn, has been laying beautiful little white eggs for several weeks now. Whenever we go into the coop, she gets into this stiff "defensive stance" which is adorable to me. A couple of the other girls haave recently started...
