    Huge Crop- So Frustrated!

    OK, I have a 15 week old speckled sussex who had a huge crop. I had noticed this especially two days ago. I am a newbie, so this is new to me! I picked her up and felt her and she had the big water balloon feel. I read online and massaged her, kept her inside for 24 hrs, it looked better...

    Is this SL Wyandotte a roo or hen?

    Hi, I am not sure about this Silver Laced Wyandotte. It is almost 13 weeks old. It is a little more agressive than my others, and sometimes bosses my WC Black Polish around, but he is kind of a pushover anyway. I am hoping for hen, but not sure. What do you think?

    Is this an EE hen? I hope so!

    This is 9.5 week old Snowy Owl. I think its a hen, but is she an EE? She has greenish legs, "cheek puffs" and beard coming in. I have 2 EE hens that are darker colors, she is just so different from my others.

    Any Ideas For My Picked On Polish ? They want his "fro" !

    I have a 5 week old WC Black Polish named Elvis. I think its a roo. It was my free exotic, and we love him. He is very sweet and mellow. But he seems to be getting picked on. Until recently, he was in with my other chick, all 18 of them. Last week I noticed they had pulled his finally...

    Cute Pic of Dog and Nutmeg

    I was worried about my dog and out 4 week old chicks. As you can see, I think I have no problem. Honey is old, around 12, and can't move very fast anyway. She is a momma to my boys and she just might adopt the chickens! This is Nutmeg, a favorite of the group. She is super sweet and always...

    How do you take care of your chickens in the winter?

    Silly question, but do you let your chickens outside in the winter? We live in Western NY and it gets chilly and snowy. We will have electricity in the coop for the heat lamp. I heard about putting vaseline on their comb. But how do they do? Mine are 4 weeks tomorrow (Happy Birthday Gals...

    Boys and their new pets! So sweet!

    I have become chicken obsessed now! The group I have are almost 4 weeks old. We have a colorful flock. I have this little Speckled Sussex that just falls asleep on anyone. Half of the 18 have names. Can't wait for fresh eggs in the fall!

    Why is My Chick a Loner?

    I have 19 chicks, 1 week old, of maybe 4 different breeds. I have my one exotic chick, Elvis, who I think is a White Crested Black Polish. These were from McMurray. I am a little worried because Elvis looks to be by itself usually. He is small. The rest are pullets, can this maybe be because he...
