    Chick Decided To Go For A Ride ... On My Dog!

    My chick jumped up on my dog and held on for the ride! P.S. Yes, I know the guy running around on the ground is a rooster. :( Video

    Chicks Really Want To Be Outside. OK?

    My chicks are about 5-6 weeks old and haven't had a heat lamp for about a week. They never really liked the heat lamp. I kept lowering the temperature and they never slept under it. They always preferred to snuggle. Anyway, I introduced them to the outdoors a few days ago and now they...

    Aquarium heater to keep water unfrozen?

    I just noticed today that my chickens' water is frozen despite being in a coop that is covered with a tarp (don't worry, I ensured there is adequate airflow) and has a heat lamp inside.

    One Out Of Four Isn't Laying

    I have two Buffs and two Easter Eggers. I am getting 2 brown and 1 blue egg(s) everyday. One of my Easter Eggers isn't laying. All of them are about 24 weeks old. The three that are laying have been doing so for about 4 weeks. Should I be worried? Could one be egg bound? How do I tell?

    Another game of "Guess the Sex"!

    I have 3 Buff Orpingtons and 2 Ameraucanas (not sure if they are true Ameraucanas). One of the Buffs is definitely a rooster (he is crowing) and he needs to find a new home (or dinner table). I'm having a harder time determining the sex of the Ameraucanas. They are different colors and one has...
