    Looking for fertilized eggs in the Richmond VA area

    I have a 2 year old Buff Orpington that has gone broody several times and I would like to try letting her hatch a few chicks. I would like to pick up the eggs local if any one knows where I can. Also what is my window of opportunity once she goes broody? She has been on the nest for 5 days now.

    Chicken attacked by fox

    A few days ago two of our chickens were injured while inside their enclosure. We later got a picture on our game camera of a fox outside the pen and have since reinforced the fencing. My question is how to treat the wound on my Barred Rock, Princess. She was grabbed through the fence and the...

    wondering what kind of chicken I have?

    We recently caught this chicken. She was a stray that showed up at my son's house in the suburbs. We trapped her thanks to some ideas given suggested by fellow BackYard Chicken members - thanks. We are curious about her breed, I thought maybe RIR because of her color and because they are so...

    Whats wrong with these feet?

    On of our Orpingtons feet have become deformed. They were not like this when we got (him?). I checked all their feet when we bought them at 1-2 days old. They are 10 weeks old but we noticed this about 4 weeks ago. They don't seem to bother him, he walks and roosts okay. Is there anything we can do?

    Is Brandy a Rooster?

    I am new to chickens, we have 8 10 week old chickens (3 EE, 3 Buff Orpingtons and 2 Barred Rocks). We hope we have all hens but was wondering about Brandy. Brandy is an EE with tuffs on either side of the face, no spurs or comb because of the breed. However the tail and bold personality makes me...
