I let the chickens have the run of the back yard. I found this one hen day before yesterday, on the ground and leaning to one side. The first thing I noticed was a completely bloody comb. Evidently the others got after her while she was down. I brought her in and put her in a cage with food and...
I haven't prepared for babies but allowed 2 hens to brood. I had no idea there was about 2 dozen eggs between them until today. When I caught another hen running around with a baby chick in its mouth I panicked.
I managed to fix them up a spot that's actually a pen built for a goat but never...

Call me crazy, but when I was buying babies, I happened across a local bird breeder and got 2 female...
Along with my order from McMurray's, they sent me a bonus gift of what they called 'exotic breed'. Problem was, they weren't able to tell me what breed, so I have no idea.
It's hard to tell, especially at this age, just what breed he is. He's just now 7 weeks old.
I'm running strictly White...
This is my 5 1/2 month old chick. I noticed her crooked neck, yesterday and was hoping it was just stress but....
Her neck seems permanently bent off to the left, while her right wing is sagging. I don't think she's eating. I watched her for awhile, this afternoon. She's not acting well. Her...

The day finally arrived, when not only did I have the money to start again, but also a semi-appropriate home and yard to...
