Lighting isnt great bc its nighttime & these guys still like to have the red light on (they tell me all...

    Change in behavior

    I have a flock of 6. I have an EE named Sizlack who has always been top-ish in the pecking order & while sweet once you catch her, she never wants to be picked up so catching her is so so hard. Last night, went down to close up the coop & she wasn't inside, just chilling outside. I go to pick...

    Walling in run to increase coop size

    So we have a coop with a run attached. All of which is inside a larger fenced in area. During the day the girls have the whole fenced in area (pretty huge space) to go about their chicken way. We have an attached run on our coop that I'm wondering if I could panel over the hard wire cloth to...

    What kind of Plymouth Rock?

    So when we got this girl, she was in the 'Sapphire Blue Plymouth Rock container at the farm store....but I think she looks way more like a regular Barred Plymouth rock. We had a Barred Plymouth Rock a while back & she was very obvious with her stripes. This one seems more speckled...could she be...

    Injured beak in the morning

    Last night was our younger chickens first night in the coop with the flock. We did a whole process, separated in the run for weeks, fully immersed with the flock in the run for over a month but sleeping in their small baby brooder. We had attempted to put them in the coop at night a couple times...

    Definitely NOT an australorp

    Hi! Who can help me figure out this sweetie girl? The place we got them said australorp (but the girl there seemed a bit frazzled & I didn't totally believe she knew the breeds when I was there) Anyway, here are pics of her the day we got her, a couple weeks ago & then today.

    Broody Girl Broken?

    I had a broody gal that I put in a "broody buster" for 2 days. Yesterday, I watched to see if she needed to go back in. She stayed out of the coop the whole day, except went in a bit early for bed. But while doing the usual chicken stuff, she was still fluffing up big & doing that broody...

    White bumps on chickens comb

    Any advice what this might be? They are hard/firm. I can sort of pluck it out, used tweezers to see if I could & it sort of squeezed out like a pimple but it is hard white. Sebaceous matter maybe? I just treated all my girls for mites, so I was worried it might be an egg or something at...

    Day 4 of no egg

    I have an 8 month old Buff Orpington who has been laying for a couple months now. Always very consistent. Has a day off about once a week, lays all other days. All of a sudden this week she hasn't laid. Her last egg was about 4 days ago, it was a huge egg (probably a double yolker) after a day...

    Why is my top hen picking on my bottom hen

    I'm a bit perplexed. Today for some reason my EE (top of order) started picking on my BR (bottom of order). I cannot figure out why. I have 3 chickens, never a pecking order issue except when we lost one in the flock & it was just minor reestablishing positions. Otherwise they are all great...

    Eye closed after a squabble

    So my top of the pecking order girl randomly today just decided to pick on our bottom of the order girl. I cannot figure out why. (Side question, could this be bc she's close to laying at all ?) Well the picked on chicken is now holding 1 eye closed. When she opens it occasionally it looks just...

    Hi so I heard a commotion out by my chickens & I went out and found one of mine with a good cut/tear by the base of their comb near the back. Don't know if she got pecked or got it caught on something. Anyways, it wasn't too bad and my other 2 didn't seemake to even see it, couldn't see much...
