    Probably BO Roo near Dallas may need new home

    I think my BO is a roo. We're in the city so if he starts crowing, he'll have to go. Let me know if you're interested and you can have him if he starts crowing! Estimated age is 16 weeks.

    Missing neck feathers

    I'm posting this here too hoping someone has an idea. My young RIR is missing her neck feathers. At first I thought they were just slow growing in after the down fell out but it's been way too long for that. She's healthy except for this. I've never seen anyone (two other chickens, one close to...

    Missing neck feathers

    One of my older chicks (maybe 8-9 weeks...I got her several weeks ago) is the scrawniest looking thing ever. Her chick neck feathers came out but her big ones aren't coming in. She has an area that's totally down to skin on the underside of her neck and both sides are just black shafts. The rest...

    Buff Orp Roo?

    So we got two straight run older chicks (8-12) week range and I felt pretty confident they were both hens, but I'm questioning myself a little on the Orp now. The RIR still seems all girl to me, but thoughts on the BO??

    Dead chicken...depressed to death??

    Several days ago our puppy got the gate to the run open because I didn't check the latch. She slightly injured my bantam Cornish which in turn caused a prolapse. We tried treating it ourselves, failed, and took her to the vet, but it was too severe to have a good prognosis. So we put her down...

    Help! Puppy got bantam

    So my 12 week old puppy apparently got the door open to the run when I didn't lock it (which is my fault). She had my bantam Cochin pinned down when I got out there. Luckily (I hope) she's acting ok but she now has what looks like a small tear at her vent and something that looks like a prolapse...

    Decent laying "poor layer"?

    So we got a 2yo bantam Cornish hen who just started laying again (she'd just finished a molt when we got her). Despite our crazy temp swings (80-20 in 24 hours), she's laid an egg every other day for a week now. Bantam Cornish are considered "poor layers" from everything I've read, but 3-4 a...

    Welsummer or Barnevelder

    Ok looking to add one more to my small backyard flock. I'd love a dark egg layer but I hear Marens are difficult. So it's down to these two. My other birds are a semi-mean EE (although she's mellowing some), a Silkie, and a bantam Cornish. I have a small coop with a decent sized run plus they...

    Help! New flock member...this is long

    Ok, so I HAD 3 Silkies, an EE, and a GL Wyandotte. Two of the Silkies started crowing and one at a time, went back. The guy I got them from raises chickens and builds coops for a living. I asked him about adding one more in b/c I didn't want just three, and he said better do it now while things...

    Howdy from Texas!

    Hi! My husband has finally agreed to let the kids and I get a few backyard chickens! We're new to chicken raising but as a writer and former teacher I've been doing a TON of research. And I'll probably be on here a lot asking questions! :-) I'm in the DFW area so I'd love to find a local...
