    I caught a hawk red handed

    Heard a big commotion, run out down my deck stairs, hear chicken screams from under the stairs. There was a hawk on my little bantam hen. I covered the stairs with my body, got my hen out and there's the hawk, flapping and flailing. We looked each other in the eye for a moment and I got up and...

    Neighbor girl wanted chickens to play together

    Cute little girl from next door knocked on my door and had her little silkie chicken in her arms and asked if "Puff" could play with my chickens. It was so cute! I told her that chickens are like mean girls at school, they will pick on her and it wouldn't be any fun for "Puff". I've been...

    Neighbors setting up for disaster

    So my neighbors decided to get chickens, took a liking to the idea based on my flock. Husband built a coop house. He built a 3 sided angled house butting up against his garage. He only built the walls 3/4 length up and left an angled gap where the roof slants to front. The gaps on the 2 sides...

    Blindness

    Hi About 2 months ago a year old bantam cochin hen had what I thought was mild bumblefoot (bottom of one of her feet was swollen with a hard dark circle in the middle) I soaked her foot over a couple of weeks and the foot healed just fine. No signs of any more swelling and she is walking just...

    3 month old crowing

    My little bantam cochin/d'uccle mix started crowing yesterday. I knew his brother was a roo for sure, just by looks, but when "Peach" started fighting with him on Sunday afternoon I realized I had brothers. "Peach" beat the bro down and is no longer allowed in the baby flock. He is crowing up a...

    Hen trying to kill her chick

    So, I let my 2 bantam cochin girls hatch out an egg each ( had 3 but one was not viable) My buff hen hatched hers out and a few hours later, my black hen hatched hers out. When I went to check on them, the black hen had pushed her baby out and was in the nest box with the buff hen and baby. Ok...

    I've got an indoor chicken coop!

    It's so cold in Michigan still (and elsewhere, I know!) and wet! I've got 6 bantam chicks, feathered out enough to be moved outside, but the weather is impossible. Pouring, cold rain, freezing temps, ugh! I really did not want to have to string up brooder lamps in the coop house. May be forced...

    Hatching on day 20

    So, I set 6 eggs on 3/19 ( I know it was the 19th, because I teased my Dad that these were his b'day present! ) at 12:00 noon. They are pipping today, day 20 and are sure to hatch completely as they're chipping away quite rapidly. The eggs I set in March pipped and hatched on day 21. Same...

    Rooster playing with fire

    My bantam roo, who is a very good boy, has decided to attack my dogs whenever I put them out. They share a fenced in yard. My dogs are true angels, a labrador and a chesapeake. They have been living in harmony for over a year, but all of a sudden this roo is after them. To my dogs' credit, they...

    Sultans-pink feet & dark feet

    Does anyone know about Sultans? I have one 1 year old bantam hen and today hatched out 2 bantam babies. One has pink feet , the other dark/blackish feet. My adult hen has dark feet too. Just wondering about foot color, if it means anything in particular.

    Broody Fail !!!!!!!!

    Realized my silkie hasn't been on the nest all day, but my other girls have been in the box laying their eggs today, so I don't think they've gone cold. I've moved them to the incubator....do you think they'll have a chance? I guess time will tell...

    D'uccle egg size

    I have 13 bantams, cochins, sultan, d'uccles and one standard polish hen. Today my little mille fluer d'uccle laid her first egg. My first thought on seeing it was that it looked like a mourning dove must have gotten in the coop and laid it, it's exactly the size of a dove egg. Now, she is an...
