    Questions about my new chickens

    Hi guys! I’m not sure if this is where i should be posting this, but better somewhere than nowhere lol. Ok so let me set this up real quick before I get into the questions. So I recently was given ownership of 12 chickens, including one rooster. I already have 5 hens of my own. Right now, the...

    Hens laying tiny eggs again?

    Hey guys! So my 5 hens will be 9 months old on the 11 this month (December) and I noticed something strange today when I went to collect eggs. There were only 2 eggs, which didn't surprise me since my one hen is molting and they hardly ever all lay in the same day. But what surprised me was the...

    Hens all laying in the same box

    Ok so I have 5 hens, all different breeds (except my two leghorn sisters) and no matter what I do, they ALL lay in the SAME nesting box! I have fake eggs in all my boxes, and yet they still only lay in one box. I even tried taking the bedding out of the one box to force them to use other boxes...

    Help/Questions about Bullying Hens

    I have read a few articles on here already to help with bullying hens, but I have a specific question. I have two brown leghorns, and one of them (Bailey) has become very aggressive with my buff orpington. I'm almost certain that it's because they have too small of an enclosure (which I'm...

    Chicken Shenanigans (video)

    I made a video for my friends of my 5 hens a while ago, and I realized- I never posted it here! I'm currently editing another video for them (I need to record more clips though) so there will be more like this in the future lol

    Is my hen still broody?

    I just recently broke my brown leghorn hen from her broodiness, but now she seems very distant and not as friendly as she used to be. :c She hasn't started laying again and she hasn't given any interest in the nesting boxes at all really. But she's eating, drinking, and running with my other...

    Hurricane Bug Out: What do do with chickens?

    My family and I are in the possible path of Irma. We already have a place we're going to, and are taking our dogs and cat. However, there is just no possible way for us to take my 5 hens. We've been trying to figure out the best way to keep them safe leaving them behind, but we're just not sure...

    Is it ok to let your hens be broody?

    I already know that there's no real harm to hens that go broody, but more specifically, is it okay to let my hen be broody if there is no rooster or eggs for her to hatch? My brown leghorn hen has been broody for about a week and a half, possibly two weeks now. She had just started laying a...

    Becky the Baby (a silly story, with pics)

    So I have two Brown Leghorn hens from the same clutch, that I named Becky and Bailey. They were almost identical as chicks, the only difference being the mark around their eyes. This is Becky- she has a sort of winged eye liner marking. (my friend called her "becky with the good eye liner"...

    First egg! But a little blood?

    Hi everyone! My buff orpington just laid her first egg today! However, I noticed that there was a tiny bit (less than a drop) of- or what looked like -blood on the egg. I checked her vent and didn't notice any redness or blood. I also checked all the rest of my chickens (I have 4 other hens...
