    egg bound?!

    One of our easter egger hens is acting egg bound. She's still drinking water but doesn't want to walk around and acts like she needs to pass an egg. I checked her and couldn't feel an egg and there's no blood or shell shards that I can detect.She did lay/pass this semi-hard pale green thing that...

    Diaper on chicken say whaaat?

    Ok, so one of our two Silkies passed away two nights ago, and his remaining buddy is tragically lonely. Britches absolutely refuses to associate with the other chickens, who in turn ignore her. She follows her human friends around pitifully whenever we go into the run, and so we took pity on her...

    Tell me my two favorite, gorgeous chicks aren't boys! (EEs)

    My neighbor was taking care of them when we were gone, and swears one tried to crow. I'm hoping my guts out it was just a funny hen noise. They are about 7 weeks old, and the sweetest things ever! You go crouch in their pen, and they run over and hop on your arms and shoulders to talk to you and...

    Update: Got 2 feed store Silkies! Please tell me how they look...

    I am getting 3 Silkie chicks tomorrow from the feed store because no local breeders have any chicks hatching soon enough in age to my current babies (2 weeks old) to mix together right away. These will be my first Silkies (I'm also a chicken newbie!) So my question is, what should I look for...

    *suspicious face* "buff" brahmas?

    All right chicken experts. Rally! I'm a newbie. Did my research, and one of the breeds I picked was Brahmas. Liked the buff color best on the adult pics I saw. Never occured to me to look at CHICK pics! Went to the feed store, picked out three little fluffy butts from the tank clearly labeled...

    Silkies-overly fluffy faces impairing vision?

    All right, so I am going to get my first chickens. *jumps around excitedly* I think we are going to start with 2 Brahmas, 2 Easter Eggers, and 2 Silkies, but I heard that the Silkies will sometimes get picked on, partially because they are more docile due to impaired vision. I desperately want...
