    Another Science experiment, need some data.

    I’m conducting another science experiment. The question is simple this time. Can a person tell the difference between a loaf of bread and a 4x4 piece of lumber? Let’s find out!

    Funny chicken picture.

    I set up my trail camera, because I thought something was going after my chickens. It turns out nothing was, but I did get a hilarious picture of Taylor, my Amaraucauna. It looks like a horror movie poster! “Attack of the Giant Chickens,” rated PG for fowl language. I don’t know what you...

    Hen lost lots of feathers.

    My chicken got in a fight with something. We’re still trying to figure out what happened. Anyway, she lost a lot of feathers. She’s moving around OK, but she’s obviously lost a lot of feathers. I think it was a fight with a feral cat or something. Is there anything I can do to help her get her...

    Something attacked my Barred Plymouth Rock

    Hi everyone, I just went out to feed my chickens, and I found that one of them has lost a lot of feathers. There is no signs of forced entry in the coop or run, but it’s obvious that something attacked her. She has lost a lot of feathers. I don’t think this is molting. It’s hard to get...

    Blood inside egg. Concerned.

    We were making scrambled eggs today, when we noticed this. I don’t know which chicken laid this, but I’m wondering if that chicken is hurt somehow. Is my chicken OK? Is this a concern?

    10 week 6 day old. Pullet or cockerel?

    This is the last time I’m posting this question, as I think that chicken is now old enough to properly get the gender. I have a 10 week 6 day old white leghorn/Amaraucauna mix. Hatched it from an egg I got from a friend with the help of a very broody hen. This is the same one that I asked...

    Hi everyone, Before I start, I need to say that this post contains pictures of a dead animal. If this will disturb you, please don’t read this post. I need to give the context of this science experiment so that you don’t worry that I did something illegal. We had a great horned owl in our...

    Broody hen hatched a chick. Need advice.

    So, to start off, this is the same chicken I’ve spoke of earlier that was constantly broody. However, shortly after my last post on that thread, I noticed that she was getting up to eat and leaving the eggs. Then she went right back to sitting on them. I decided to take a gambit, so I went to a...

    Broody Barred Plymouth Rock.

    This has been happening for weeks, and to be honest, I’m a little bit concerned. Let me explain. One of my hens went broody. To be completely honest, I don’t know if she’s eating or drinking. She’s not leaving the nesting box. Every time I pick her up, I feel around her breast area, and...

    Calcium deposit on EE egg?

    So, I went out to check on my chickens today, and I found an egg I missed yesterday from my EE Taylor. I am attaching a picture of it. I’m pretty sure those white spots are calcium deposits. I have a simple question. How do these usually form, and how do I fix it? Is there anything I can do...

    Solar disc on chicken?!?!

    Hi everyone, So, a very hilarious story. I went out to clean the coop today. When I was out there, I had the door to the coop open. The sun was shining in a little little bit. While I was shoveling out hay and chicken droppings, I noticed that the solar disc somehow wound up on my chickens...

    Advice needed. Time sensitive.

    I’m very concerned about my 6 chickens. I don’t know what to do with this weather coming. It will be here in 11 hours according to the time given. Another thing to note is that my chickens are losing feathers on their necks. I believe they’re in the process of molting. I’m worried the intense...

    Hens not laying for a month

    Hi everyone, I know I posted about this a while ago, and the response was that I had to give the chickens some time after a stray dog attack for them to start laying eggs again. Well, I’ve given them a month, and they’re still not laying. I’m wondering if it’s something about the temperature...
