    Whole flock acting strange, missing hens

    So a few days ago I noticed my chickens feathers were breaking in half. It started with the rooster or else I would have just thought he was wearing the girls out. The girls have nearly bald patches but only the top halves of the feathers are missing like they all broke in half. Last night two...

    The first chick from our broody hen! And questions..

    Our broody hen has been sitting on 7 eggs. One hatched yesterday. It looks to be a pure mille fleur d'uccle. My concern is, the other eggs have not hatched yet, and the momma refuses to leave the best for food and water. Should I be concerned about my new chick starving or dehydrating? I don't...

About a week ago a fox stirred a few of my neighbors hens into my yard and...

    Can't figure what kind of chick this is

    Hello all, We ordered from Murray McMurray and were sent a "rare mystery chick" and have narrowed this little one down as the mystery chick, but can't figure what she is(hopefully she). The closest I can think is a buff Cochin. She is definitely buff colored and has some black in her feathers...
