    Escaped or stolen?

    Hi all, Yesterday, I returned home after a brief outing to find 3 of my chickens gone, and one outside the fence trying to get back in. Nothing seemed amiss or out of place, but my RIR rooster (who was so quiet), my white Silkie bantam rooster, and one of my Wyandotte hens had simply vanished...

    Hi all, Does it mean anything when a chicken sits/rests with one leg splayed out to the side rather than tucked neatly under itself? I've got photos here: Picasa Album If someone would be kind enough to take a look and tell me if this is a problem, I'd be most grateful. Thanks! Terence

    Duck, duck, chickens!

    Hi all, I'm as green as they come. I've spend most of my adult life working at a desk in front of a glowing box. (A nice glowing box, admittedly, but a glowing box just the same.) Recently, I began dreaming of a more agrarian life, and when my wife's job transferred us to HI, I got my...
