    Rescue bird has stitch in crop. Why? Why? Why?

    This bird was found wandering down a relatively busy street in my town and spending a ton of time trying to hunt down her owners, the finder gave up and asked me to come get her. She's a beautiful sweet Turken who comes when she's called. I have yet to see an egg out of her, but it appears she...

    My turkey has started presenting.

    It's pretty funny to me. He's only about 3 months old. Trying to act like a grown up. He's a slate poult named Thanksgiving.

    I knew it was gonna have more than one the day she laid it. She's a fairly new layer. 6 month old easter egger. I never expected 3!!!!! My husband was so bummed that he broke one cracking it.

    Barred Rock - Almost 3 pounds.

    I butchered my first bird today. A 15 week old BR rooster. We can't have roosters but we finally gave up last week and decided start prepping him for slaughter. We switched him to the game bird grower that we have and started sharpening the knife. He threw a wrench in that plan by crowing...

    Gender help? A barred rock and a leghorn. 5.5 weeks old. (slightly pic heavy)

    I'm 99% sure my barred rock is a rooster. I'm pretty much only posting these photos as a reference for others. The leghorn, however, has me guessing. Totally yellow comb, but those long curved tail feathers have me unsure. I darkened the third leghorn photo up a bit so you can see the shape of...

    No eggs since October.

    Everyone I know is starting to get spring eggs again, and I'm just sitting here wondering. I've still got two girls from my original flock. They were laying steady until they both went into molt in early october. Nothing since. The woman I got them from last year said they were about 1.5...

    When do you introduce proper bedding.

    From what I've read, day 3 seems to be when most recommend to switch from paper towels to proper bedding. It's day 3 and I just tossed a handful of straw into my brooder. The girls went crazy. They're scratching around and faux dust bathing in it. They never bothered trying to scratch around on...

    Ameraucana/ Easter Egger?

    Yesterday I bought two Ameraucana pullets from chain farm store. They were $4 each and I only bought them because I want some non white/brown eggs in my mix. I'm not concerned about true breed, only curious. When I was picking out my chicks I said, "I'd also like two Easter Egge...*ahem*...

    Roo?

    Barred rock. 3 months and 21 days old. Those tail feathers make me think roo, but that comb is small and lighter than most BRs I've seen of the same age. It's a flighty little bird, but not mean. I assume it's too early to see any spur development, but I included a pretty pixelated closeup...

    I can't wait anymore!

    All 4 of my chickens started to molt within a week of each other. They started dropping feathers early in September. I've got (we think) a RIR, a Red Sex Link, a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte and a Plymouth Rock Barred. I haven't added additional light. I've heard they will often still lay at...

    Bloody hen. Thoughts?

    Last night I forgot to lock the girls up for bedtime. It's pouring down rain in Portland, OR and we were out until rather late. I've never forgotten before and realized my mistake the moment I opened my eyes this morning. I rushed out to find the girls just poking around the yard as if nothing...

    "No chickens in the house rule."

No chicken's in the house unless they're sick and in hen hospice (the spare bedroom) I'm a photographer and my boyfriend Jackson's band wanted to update their promotional materials. New pictures were in order. Jackson asked...

    I feel like a moron

    When I got my hens I was told this one was a "Golden Buff" I've had people call her a sex link or a red star and correct them every time. Today I learned that my hen is a Red Star, a Comet, Golden Comet, Golden Sex Link, Isa Brown or a Red Sex Link If just one person had said, "they're the...

    HOT HOT HOT

    It got into the low 90's today and is supposed to get even hotter. I went out to check on the girls and everyone seemed fine except for this one. Wings away from her body and panting like crazy. The other girls were poking about near the screen windows catching the breeze, but I found this one...

    Ugliest Bird in My Flock Award goes to.....

    LACEY! She's a year old Blue Laced Red Wyandotte! She came to me a few months ago because her flock wanted her dead. Her aggressors ripped out the feathers from the back of her neck and had begun pecking a large hole in it when she was found. She was treated, but it doesn't appear the...
