    "Tired" Hen

    Help! I have a hen that is acting strange but is showing no symptoms. We let our chickens out to free range and she stayed in the coop and stood there with her eyes closed. Now usually my rirs I can not pick up but I walked right up to her and picked her up. There are no swollen eyes, feet are...

    Pecking order

    I have to admit the pecking order is no joke! It's just downright awful! I put 3 RIRs in about 2 weeks ago, pecking order lasted about 3 days. Then my 2nd batch went in 4 days ago with all the big girls. The mix was a sizzle roo, lavender Amerucana, oe, and a black Cochin. All have been pecked...

    Rooster watching hen lay

Yesterday I had to get my juvenile roo out of the coop for she could lay since he was not to fond of her going into the nesting boxes. He went back in the run and coop after she laid. Then today Lucy laid another egg and she...

    Help Sexing EEs

    I got this lot from TSC about 6 weeks ago. The first day we had them we tried to feather sex them and assumed we had 3 roos and 3 pullets. We were also told by tsc these were Ameraucanas, but not suprisingly they are EEs. :) Problem is Ive heard EEs are soooo hard to sex. So if anyone has any...

    Introducing silkies to a younger flock.

    Silly question, I have 12 chicks. There are 2 barred rocks, 2 buff orpintons, and 2 white leghorns that are four weeks old. I also have 6 EEs that are 2 weeks old (and a bit skittish and were probably getting rid of three) I really want a silkie or two but I'm trying to figure out the best way...

    Ameraucana or EEs?

    We got these chicks from TSC and they were hatched on Mar. 2nd. TSC had their bin labeled Ameraucana, but Im really starting to question this... 3 chicks have had very slow feather growth compared to the three that have had tail and longer wing feathers for a few days now. Both of the...
