    Boss Hen has hit the absolute bottom of the pecking order…

    I’ve had my Delaware hen since the beginning of my chicken adventure last year. She’s always been my boss girl, top of the pecking order, and keeps everyone in line. Lately she has been pushed to the absolute bottom of the pecking order. Like, even the 2 month old ducklings chase her off, and...

    What Is She?

    So about a month ago, I came home from work to find one single chicken in my yard. None of my neighbors have chickens, and no one ever came looking for her. My husband and I had discussed getting chickens, and this just kind of jump started our plans for that lol. We kept her alone for a while...

    Plymouth Barred Rock Rooster's comb is bleeding (Not an emergency)

    This afternoon when I went outside, I picked up my rooster to cuddle him for a minute. I noticed that his comb seemed to be wet, and I touched it, only to find that it was blood! There are no visible cuts, scratches, etc. The blood just seems to be coming straight out of his comb. Any ideas as...

    Bow-Legged Hen

    So I have a hen that has been bow-legged all of her life. We didn't catch on to it until she was an adult, although we had noticed she was never as active as the other chicks. She's around two-years-old now, and has trouble walking. I have to keep her seperate from all the others, as she gets...

    A few weeks ago, 5 out of my 6 girls (and even my rooster) started loosing their feathers. They weren't eating, and several were constantly hiding in the coop. I couldn't figure out what was going on! They had already molted this year, so I thought that maybe somthing was getting into the girl's...

    November - Epilepsy Awareness Month

    Some people may know that November is Epilepsy Awareness Month. But sadly, most people in the world don't know it. Both my sister and my aunt have Epilepsy, and I know how that there are a lot of people that are uninformed about what Epilepsy is, and how to handle seizures. Statistics: 65...

    Lady - The Hen That Never Gave Up

    When I went to Tractor Farm Supply to get my first chicks, Lady was one of the first ones I picked. She was fluffy, yellow, and sitting sweetly in the chick pen. I got her and her sisters home, and put them in their new home. As the weeks went by, she started acting strange. She didn't move...

    Hen that believes she is a rooster? Even though I have a rooster?

    Biddy had started attacking all of my other hens, and even my large Plymouth-Barred Rock rooster. My chickens are missing feathers, and due to the cold weather, I thought it best to put her in a temporary pen next to my other chicken to let the others get their feathers back. (Lady, the other...
