    What breed is this Big Girl?

    My daughter brought me two chicks from TSC back in March, and didn't ask what kind they were. Apparently they were the last two chicks they had and she was trying to surprise me -- she did! Lol. So these two girls should be 17 weeks old and are now FAR bigger than all the others we bought that...

    Hen Laid a Broken Egg

    Today I checked the nest boxes at the exact time one of my Red Stars was laying her egg. I watched her squat down and lay a broken egg, which her best mate immediately scarfed up. I grabbed the shell, took a pic, and disposed of it. This kind of solved a mystery, as each day for a while now...

    What Could Be Wrong?

    This hen was on the roost yesterday around 3, looked sleepy, and is still up there at noon the next day... Her comb is flopped over... I've never had a sick chicken, so I'm not really sure what to do. There are 21 others.

    It's Frozen!

    Everything is frozen! I wish kids would quit singing that song! It's going to be 10° tonight and 5° tomorrow and that is NOT normal where I live. Brrr. So what do I do with my chickens? They are locked up in the coop (with a small heat lamp) tonight, but do I open the pop door in the morning...

    Whitish Comb

    Two of my chickens have combs that are whitish. They are both eat 20% protein layer feed and always have plenty of water. The white hen is 16 months old and has not laid an egg since 7/29. The brown one is 7 months and has been laying about a week (her 4 eggs have had a little blood on the...

    Black Dots on Legs

    Today we noticed Henny Penny, my 7 month old BR, has black spots on her legs that I don't remember seeing before. She is happy, sociable, and eats a lot, so I don't think she has any other problems. Is this normal or do I need to do something?

    Shed Coop

    My Easter HAL chicks desperately needed a new home, so my husband suggested we convert our shed (which, of course, was full of junk) to a coop and build a run. Seeing that we are less than handy, I researched and drew a pic of what I wanted and it has been almost finished while we were out of...

    When will Broody Lay Again?

    I have a hen who raised her chicks for five weeks, then went back to the big chicken coop. She started laying two days later. After five eggs, she went broody again, and we "broke" her by putting her in the pet carrier for two days. She's been back in the big chicken coop now for maybe ten days...

    What gender? 11 wk EEs

    I know this is not a great pic, and I'll do better if I need to. These are 11 weeks old, dad is an EE, mom of the black ones is Black Java, other moms are all EEs. I want to compare my thoughts... They loved the corn on the cob... as did the kitten...

    Broody again???

    One of my hens went broody and hatched 3 chicks (21 days, plus 10 days from first hatch to last, since I didn't know to keep her from stealing other hens' eggs at first). She was a great mom to the chicks, and after 4-5 weeks she escaped her coop and went directly to the rooster who was free...

    DEVILED EGGS?

    My hens have been laying for about 6 months, and apparently I haven't tried to make deviled eggs... Today I boiled a bunch of older eggs (not bad, just older) and they cooked and peeled beautifully, but the yolks are all at the fat end of the eggs! No good for deviled eggs! Is it because I...

    Broody left her chicks

    My broody and her 3 chicks (5ish weeks old) have been in a separate coop from from my other chickens, and have had separate free time outside. Yesterday, they all managed to get out at once (thank you, rooster, for leading them astray while I refilled your water), and I was not sure what would...

    My rooster!!!

    I have NEVER kicked an animal in my LIFE, until today. I leg my chickens out of the tractor -- only the rooster came out -- and I squatted down and was talking to the chickens. i started picking clover and he plucked it from my hand (normal) and he pecked at the buttons on the back of my pants...
