    Lost my first little hen!

    Aw! She was the first and most prolific layer of the three, a little peach colored egg every day. One other hen had just finished molting, and she started losing feathers and quit laying, so I thought molting but I was wrong. One morning I saw she wasn't walking or acting normal so I separated...

    First Egg!!!!!

    Yay! I think I know which hen did it, because she used to have yellow legs and now her legs are white. She layed it from the roost onto the floor of the coop. None of the hens have even checked out the nest box area. Also, great news - I was having a problem integrating a new girl (RIR 16 wks)...

    New hen being picked on

    So I was able to trade in the unwanted rooster for a little RIR hen (about 12 wks old). The two hens I still have (14-16 wks old) are picking on her viciously! I have them separated but this means either she or the other two have very limited space. When I tried to put even just one of the hens...

    Hen or roo?

    I am suspicious that that this "hen" might be a rooster. approx 16-17 wks old. What think ye?

    Pictures to accompany questions

    I got these 3 chickens exactly 12 weeks ago. They were already started, so I'm unsure of their ages. They are Leghorn mixes, and one is more probably more araucana (the middle size one with no comb and blue legs). So, their ages now might range from 14-18 weeks, but I don't know how to tell...

    Another question by new owner

    Is there a way to figure out the age of my birds? I requested started pullets between ages of 8-12 weeks. They were quite small, but definitely started and not chicks when I got them 10 weeks ago. If the biggest one (w.leghorn) was 12 weeks, she would be 22 wks old now, but there are still no...

    One of several questions from new chicken keeper

    I have 3 pullets (2 w. leghorns approx ages 20 wks and 14 wks) and one w.leghorn/araucana mix (approx 16 wks, has hardly noticeable comb and blue legs). They are STILL very skittish even after I have had them since May 4th (10 weeks now). I am afraid of handling them because 1) I don't know how...

    feathers on legs?

    One of my pullets (w. leghorn - about 14 wks old) has some feathers on her legs. It appeared from outside the run that she was having scaly leg mites, so I took her out today to treat. When I got a closer look, I saw that it was not raised scales at all but feathers. Normal?

    Still figuring it out

    I understand how to post and reply in the forum, but there's a specific article I'd like to comment on. When I have the article onscreen, I can see it and all the other comments, but no reply or submit buttons, and no document area like the one I am using now appears. How do I post a comment on...

    Hello from new member

    Hi everyone. My name is Autumn and I live in east Texas. I got my first chickens May 4th, 3 hens. Two are white leghorn and one is w leghorn/Aracuna mix. They were already started when I got them so I am unsure of their ages. They were 8-12 weeks (so I was told) at the beginning of May. Still...
