Ok so I let my chickens out for about 30-45 minutes every morning and every evening. I live in a neighborhood with a very secure chain link fence. This morning when I came to put the birds back in their coop, I realized one was missing (black sex link @ almost a year old). I looked EVERYWHERE...

We have Hurricane Matthew barreling this way (Brunswick GA) I have ten chickens in my backyard, I have a coop we made from pallets in early spring, we also have a small 6 hen house within that coop. My question is, if we have to leave for a few days what do I do what my hens? I've never left...

This is probably a very dumb worry! My hen just recently began laying eggs a few days ago, but she only wants to lie them on my porch! Today I came out as they were locked up in coop, and saw Betty pacing the fence to be let out, so I only let her out and she ran RIGHT to the porch to lay...My...

Has anyone cut the primary feathers off of their birds? I'm having issues with them flying in my neighbors yard and getting stuck. Do you think trimming would solve this issue? Or am I screwed? It's about a 4-4 1/2 ft chain link fence. I don't want to clip if it's not going to help anything.

[/IMG] Could someone please help me with names of some of the darker skinned chicken breeds? My guy has got to be mixed with one of them, just trying to get an idea.

BSL pullet around 14-15 weeks old began loosing tail feathers a few days/week ago! She's the top girl in the coop so I don't suspect anyone pulling them out. Is this normal?

From hatching this little chick had been very black with grey skin, very dark comb but I see red slightly. I know it's a cockerel but could anyone tell me what this guy's mixed with? Came from assortment box at tractor supply, 4 toes and with white coming in on chest as BSL get their rust...also...

I have 5 chickens outside, 2 at 11 weeks, and 3 at 7 weeks of age. A few days ago I noticed bloody areas in poo, a lot like intestinal lining but also some reddish in normal poo areas as well(not like stringy lining)! I have no clue who the suspect is. No one seems to be acting any differently...

Two week old assortment bin chick from TSC, seems to have different comb than my 2 RR chicks, and ISA as well, and is that considered a "Pea" Comb?? I'm still learning on young birds! I know it's early but would anyone know what type of chick I'm dealing with?

Fairly new to chickens but fairly knowledgeable...my husband brough home 6 chicks, 1 white leghorn (which we lost) 1 ISA, 2 red Rangers, a mystery breed (all black chick), and this blonde one! From photos it looks like the ISA chicks, but also I've seen them with colored wings! Or exactly like...

I have a one week old black chick from the "assortment" bin at TSC, it's all black, legs, comb, beak, feet and very dark skin as well. Would anyone have an idea of the breed, I'll post a photo ASAP!

Can anyone help with the breed of this chick? Also I think it's a cockerel but again can anyone help? Thanks!

I purchased 6 chicks from TSC on Wednesday. I noticed the single White leghorn chick was very still and calm. I figured it needed time to get acclimated. Yesterday I noticed it had pasty butt, which I removed. I watched it all day, doesn't eat, doesn't drink. She STANDS all day long lightly...

Just joined this site (although I've stalked it for a while now) and thought I'd try and reach out to other chicken folks! Hehe I'm just looking for advice and helpful tips. We have 5 wonderful chickens (2 @ 6 weeks), and (3 @ 2 weeks old.) Can't wait to begin my chicken journey here!
