    Ducks stolen

    Recently my husband came across post for our area poultry keepers. A lady was posting to let everyone know that recently she had had some of her ducks taken from her property. There was no evidence of predators or killing, just as if they were grabbed and taken away. I wanted to post and see if...

    Hen acting peculiar

    This morning my husband went to check on our chickens and came across one acting out of the ordinary. One of our Cuckoos (not sure what a mix of Cuckoo) was sitting in run and seemed off. She is usually skittish and if you go her way will skit off in another direction, but today my husband...

    Shes having seizures, help!

    Something odd happened night before last and we were not really sure what to think. She seemed fine so we brushed it off as random. She was in her run and somehow got out and was laying on ground funny. I freaked thinking she was dead but then she got up and seemed to shake it off. Yesterday, my...

    "Chicken Timeout"

    We have a hen who is going broody and we are not trying to hatch any of our eggs. The first time this happened, we put her in what we call "chicken timeout" and isolated her and made her stay in a smaller coop/run alone for three days and it seemed to work temporarily. Now not more than a month...

    Chicken acted like she was Egg bound but there was no egg and has injury to vent.....

    One of our Cuckoo EEs recently acted like she was egg bound and so we attempted to take action and help her, but unlike we thought, there was no egg inside her that we could feel. Her vent looks wrong. One of the "lips" on her vent is purplish and looks slightly bruised or swollen, we suspect...

    Can you tell me what breed you think these chickens are.......

    Below I have included some pictures to help show the situation. I got these two pullets from a breeder locally and she had told me they were Cuckoo Marans. I looked up the breed and they looked to match the coloring so I just went with that. It was not until recently when we started to doubt...

    Who laid this egg?

    We found an odd looking egg today in the chicken run. We have 3 GCs that lay regularly everyday and always lay in the box. We recently had a EE start laying and who has laid a small pinky cream egg. She followed the cues of the other GCs and always laid in the box so far. Today when i went to...

    New Layer eggs

    Recently one of our EEs started laying and is laying very small cream colored eggs. They have been consistently the same size since she started. They are just slightly smaller than the normal egg size you find in stores. When will she most likely start laying larger eggs or will she possibly...

    First Egg for new layer color

    Our GCs layed the other three, but we are sure this small cream colored one came from one of our EEs who was really close to start laying. Going by this egg, does that mean she will not be a blue-green layer like we thought or can they start funny and it become blue green later?
