It's been super hot here, and I lost one hen today to heat stroke. My daughter is crushed because it was her favorite.
It was about 105 today, and I was putting ice water out for them and making sure they had water but it wasn't enough. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 108! So even more hot! I...
Hi all!
Has anyone had a super noisy hen? I don't mean with their egg songs, I have one that just makes the most atrocious noises all stinking day long. She wakes me up when all the windows are closed, and the coop is more than 200 ft from the bedroom window. Double paned windows even! She's...
I have one, maybe two depending on the outcome of a guess the sex thread, blue andalusian roosters that I will need to rehome. My neighbor's will really dislike me if I keep them and one is starting to crow. :)

These chicks; from the moment I opened the box, they have been complete jerks! In fact, one ran up and bit me as soon as the box opened.
Now I've had to separate them from the other...
What do you think this little one might be? It was in the pullet bin at TSC and it was the only one that was this color. I've gone through the entire special order form, looking up what it might be and came up with nothing. Any guesses? :)
Secretly hoping it's a golden laced Wyandotte. But...
Hello! I picked up some chicks from the local TSC yesterday and found that one is not eating. I spent hours last night frantically searching BYC for suggestions and found lots of info. Thank you BYC!
Background: The chick was just acting sleepy, and I didn't see it eat when all the other...
