    Broody Hen...do you think this would work?

    I have a year-old broody hen that is STUBBORN. I have tried and tried to break her of her broodiness, but she will inevitably go back to being broody a few days after I think she's over it. We had two broodies other than her, but as soon as I put my new chicks in the brooder in the coop, they...

    Strange growth on chick??

    This morning I noticed this strange growth just above and to the left of one of my Polish chicks (4 weeks) wings. Any idea what it might be and what I would need to do to treat it? She's acting normally and it doesn't seem to be bothering her, but I can't find any info on what it might be...

    "Accidentally" ended up with more chicks...breed?

    Soooooo, even though I have 3 Black laced Polish 2 Bielefelder chicks on the way, I had to run to the feed store today for my other 6 hens. I usually avoid the feed store and order my supplies online, because well, I can't help myself when faced with those fluffy things! That being said...

    Chicken Newbie!

    Hello all! So happy to have found a forum of people who love chickens as much as I do (my husband and kids are starting to get tired of chicken talk!) I've already posted pics of my flock in the "what breed is this" forum, although I'm not sure it has passed through the moderators yet...any...

    What breeds are in my flock?

    I have a flock that started with 4 (which are now about 15 weeks old), I also have 2 that are about 4 weeks old, and then 2 new chicks that are a MAYBE a week old. I got all of them at the local feed store, before really researching breeds, terms (sraight run, pullet, etc). I believe the first...
