    Think my hen is trying to crow

    She's a welsummer, about 3.5 years old if that matters. She's always been SUPER noisy, every morning egg or not she'll do the bwuck bwuck bwuck BWACK call and get all the other hens (4 total) to join in with her, it will last 10+ minutes sometimes . But her call changed recently, now she builds...

    Escape Artist Chicken

    We have an escape artist of a chicken. In the past after her molt she would discover her wings were no longer clip and resume her daily flight over our 7 foot or so fence to roam the feral-cat filled neighborhood She recently finished molting and once again discovered she could fly over the...

    BO/Ameraucana Egg

    Just wanted to post a picture of my BO/Ameraucana's first egg in case anyone was interested in this mix. The picture doesn't really do it justice, but it came out a nice khaki color. She's laid 2 more eggs since and they were about the same size and color, so they're not the largest eggs...

    Grower or Layer for My Pullets?

    I have two pullets who are both 7mos old. They are sisters but have different moms, their father was a BO but one is half Jersey Giant and the other is half Americana (or was it Araucana? I know it was whichever was a more pure breed, not just an EE). They don't seem to be full size. Still...

    Is There a Difference Between Chick and Grower Feed?

    Hi all, I need to buy food today (am leaving on vacay for a few days as of tomorrow). My two pullets are about 14 weeks old. I've been giving them this grower feed which appeared to be a lot of different seeds mixed up. But I just called a local nursery and they said they don't stock grower...

    When Will I Know For Sure the Gender

    I posted about my two young ones a bit ago and got mixed response (on gender), thought I'd ask now. The chicken in question is about 13 weeks, a BO/Ameraucana mix. Her comb got red before her sister's (BO/Jersey Giant), but isn't particularly big. I think it's a pea comb but I'm not sure. Her...

    Worried My BO/Ameri Cross is a Boy

    Her comb (can't tell if it's pea comb or single comb) is a bright pink but still quite small. Her and her half sister (who is jersey giant/BO) are both 10 weeks. The Ameri/BO is quite a bit smaller than her sister, but also is slimmer. She is not as fluffy and full looking which worries me...

    Larger Dropping Than Normal

    I noticed a week or so ago that one of my chickens is making much larger, uh, droppings than normal. Sometimes they are as big as a good sized stawberry. Behavior seems normal though. One of my hens is 2 and the other is 5. Could age be a contribution? Should I worry?

    Taming Older Chicks

    I have two chicks that I bought when they were 5 weeks, they're now about 7 weeks. They are mixed and both have a buff orp daddy and are fairly calm, I've noticed. During the day they romp in the run of our eglu and they sleep in the basement in a dog crate at night. I really want them to get...

    What Do Your Buff Orp Crosses Look Like? Trying to Figure Out My Chick's Mom

    I already have posted about this in 2 other sections so I'm hoping maybe by asking people what their buff orp crosses look like I can figure out what mine are! So do you have buff orp crosses? What are they mixed with besides orp? Here are my two buff mixes, their dad was for sure a buff orp...

    Buff Orp+? Chick- What Could She Be? Is She a She?

    Hi all, Just got two mixed breed chicks that are about 6 weeks old. Their dad is a Buff Orpington for sure, apparently. Mom could be any of the following: White Rock Danish Brown Leghorn New Hampshire Red Jersey Giant Black Copper Maran Barred Rock Americauna The man who sold them said he...

    Chicks Were Killed and it's My Fault...

    Hi all, not sure if this is the place for such a topic. I bought two chicks to go with the two hens I already have, as I felt a flock of two was too small. Bought them when they were just 1 and weeks, had them inside until it was warm and then would bring them outside during the day. But they...

    Disciplining Noisy Hens?

    I have two hens and they are both veryyy noisy. They do the "egg song" multiple times a day even though neither one has laid for more than a week because they were traumatized by a racoon attack :( I love my girls but it is just so annoying! Of course I would never consider getting rid of them...

    One Chicken Attacking Another at Night-Causes, Dangerous to Add A Pullet(s)?

    I have only two chickens right now, one of which was from the original flock of 4 chickens (3 passed away) and one is a bit younger as we added her when the numbers were dwindling. One is a wyandotte, who is 5 (I think) and the other a 2 year old Welsummer. The wyandotte has always picked on the...
