    Frizzle?

    I just sort of fell into getting this frizzle. I've wanted a frizzle for some time. They told me she was 12 weeks old but she is significantly smaller than my buff orpingtons. She is the same size as my 5 week old silkie mix's. How big do frizzles get, I honestly don't know much about the breed!

    Winter!?!?

    This is my first time owning chickens. Here in Utah the winters can get pretty cold and ugly. Do the chickens stay in their coop all winter long or will they venture out into the snow? What should I expect when it comes to winter time and my hens?

One of my buffs has really rough looking feathers on the back of it's neck and looks almost like they've been plucked out. He has bald spots all over his face where there are no feathers. I can't tell if it's just that his...

    Does she have enough feathers

    I deeply love my chickens, but I want then outside and they do too. They are about 5 weeks old now and to me they look feathered enough. I live in Utah so we have super bipolar weather. Today we have a high of 50. It still gets down in the 40s at night. I've taken them out during the warm sunny...

    Chicken snacks

    My chicks are between 4 and 5 weeks old and I brought them outside for the first time today. They seemed to enjoy themselves pecking at the grass and weeds and what not. My question is what kind of snacks or treats can I give them? They attack everything that looks like a worm.

    Buff orpingtons: my first chicken experience

    I've wanted backyard chickens for a while, I've done a bit of research and finally decided I was ready. I bought two buff orpingtons today and am looking forward to watching them grow! Is there any advice that anyone can give me on raising these two cute (hopefully) girls?
