    Older hen attacking younger hen, time to go?

    Hi all, I believe I may have posted this question in the wrong category earlier, sorry about that! Figured I'd try here, since it's more a behavioral thing than an emergency. I just discovered one of my approx. 5 month old EE hens being attacked by the head hen "Blacky" who's about 5yo (I...

    Old hen just started attacking younger hen, time to go?

    Hello all, I just discovered one of my approx 5 month old EE hens being attacked by the head hen "Blacky" who's about 5yo (I don't know what breed she is, we got her from a friend a few years ago, but she's all black with a green sheen to her when she's in the sun). Poor little EE is in...

    REALLY bad scaley leg mites!! Is there a point of no return?

    Is this comb normal? Or something I need to keep an eye on?

    Hello from extremely warm San Diego! I was out meandering with my chickens this morning, and noticed that this ones comb looks very different from the rest. Is this a normal comb? I'm not sure on the breed of this girl, I think she's a mix. She's acting her normal peck-at-my-toes self...

    I thought I had 13 pullets but I'm starting to worry!

    Got 13 "guaranteed" pullets from the feed store (yeah, right ) They're all over 3 months old. Haven't heard any crowing yet, but they're kept away from the house so I might not hear it. Quite a few of them are starting to look roo'y. This is my first time raising chickens so maybe I just don't...

    4 Unsolved Mysteries!

    Morning everyone! I've looked up and down and can't quite figure out what these girls are. Any ideas? I'm pretty new to chicken breeds, and am totally lost! Maybe mix breeds? Bought them all at a local feed store. They're all just over 2 months old. #1 #2 # 3 & #4 (sisters)...

    Anyone know what breed this chick is?

    Any ideas? She's ridiculously sweet and outgoing! She's about 4 weeks now. Might be too young to tell?
