    Help! 2 chickens in 6 months have died, looks like a 3rd on her way :(

    We had a flock of 5, which we have had for several years living happily together - one buff, three Amerucanas and one golden sex. 6 months ago, we woke up to find one of the chickens near death. The vet had no real explanation without expensive testing, but said the girl was very dehydrated...

    Chickens bullying sister, after 3 years of living in complete harmony

    HELP? Egg Production Stopped? Is this normal???

    Hi All, This is our first year as BYC stewards - we have 3 girls that we got in February, all ameraucana (Peep, Pumpkin and Pepper!). They started laying in June or so and by mid-summer they were up to 5 eggs every 2 days or so. As the winter came on, they slowed down, to about 1-2 eggs a...

    Chicken Escape Defense Need!

    Hi BYC Family! We've had our girls for 6 months, and they are happily giving us Eggs every day - a'mazing! But now I have a new challenge. We clipped their wings recently, using a youtube video as a guide - and that worked really well - but they are still able to "jump" to the roof of their...
