    Vegas shooting

    I wanted to make sure all our BYC members and their friends and family are OK after the Vegas shooting. My cousin was at that concert and he escaped with his life. I FaceTimed him the morning after the shooting, and when I saw his face in my phone, I just started bawling. I'm an only child, but...

    Illness cured itself within minutes?

    So yesterday Joy was fine. This morning, she was standing under the coop, doing nothing. She ate a little bit, but otherwise just stood there. I mixed up some electrolytes and went out to give them to her, when I found her happily dust bathing with her sisters. What happened?

    Bird from hell- please help!

    This is Theophania Isabelle, also known as Tiffany. Photo taken August 2017 She is an 9 month old, laying Buff Orp. She used to be my sweetest chicken. But that has changed over the past few days. It has gotten to the point where I'm actually scared of her. She is so aggressive, it's scary. I...

    Thank goodness for Snapchat!

    I wanted to share this hilarious chicken moment I caught on Snapchat. I forgot to close the gate earlier when I went out there!

    NEED HELP RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was doing health checks, and noticed Joy's outer toe on her right foot was bleeding. I took her up to the porch, laid her on her side on my lap, and started wiping her foot to get off all the blood and see where the blood was coming from. It is a tiny cut, less than 1/8 inch long. I applied...

    Will she be ok?

    This morning I went to let the chickens out, and considering I was only wearing yoga pants and a t-shirt, it was cold! There was frost on the ground, and I could see my breath! 4/5 of my chickens are Buff Orpingtons, and I know they are cold hardy, but I'm worried about my Barred Rock, Gidget...

    9/11 memorial thread

    I wanted to start a thread to discuss and remember 9/11. I was only 11 at the time, and in 5th grade. I remember my teacher had the TV on and was telling us everything was going to be ok. I was sitting there bawling. We didn't understand it, but knew people were dying. That day was quiet and no...

    What is the nutritional value of an egg?

    I've decided to start a diet and was wondering about the nutritional value of an egg? Like how many grams of protein, how many calories, etc? If it helps, my eggs are medium sized and are layed by buff orps and a barred rock.

    HELP! ACCIDENTAL EGG EATERS!

    So I was out collecting eggs, when I accidentally dropped one. It broke, and I was going to go put the other eggs in the house and then go put a bucket over the broken egg to hide it. I went into the house, came back out, and saw Elsa and Joy eating the egg! I now have 2 egg eaters on my hands...

    Moving the coop

    So, my fiance has all the permits needed to build a shop! The thing is, because of Mazama Pocket Gophers, right where the coop is is the only place we can put it! We are NOT getting rid of our little unicorns (we don't get rid of family!), but I'm terrified because of the coop move. Our current...

    Just need to rant; the value of chickens

    It upsets me so bad when people don't value chickens the same way a dog or a cat is valued. Like, oh, the chicken is sick or has a scraped foot? Serve said chicken for dinner. I honestly don't care if I'm the only person on BYC who feels this way. My chickens are part of my family and nothing...

    Anna's foot

    This morning, I gave the chickens watermelon. I was refilling stuff in the run when I noticed my Buff Orp, Anna, kept squawking and jumping away from the others. So I picked her up and started checking her for injuries. I noticed her foot was bleeding. I brought her to the porch and told my...

    BLOODY POOP!

    This morning I was refilling the chickens free-feed grit and oyster shell in the run, when I noticed some bloody looking poop on the ground. I'll attach a photo. I have no idea who it's from. What should I do?

    Gidget's egg

    My barred rock Gidget has been laying weird eggs lately. They have sort of mended cracks in them. I'll post a picture. Gidget is a very healthy chicken. Why is she laying eggs like this?

    I was completely traumatized... someone tried to take my dog!!!!

    So this morning, I went for a run around a lake in the middle of the city with my black lab, Minni. Keep in mind, I'm only 5'1" and have no muscles. About 20 minutes in, this man approached me and he literally grabbed Minni's leash and said "I'm gonna walk the dog while you run". I grabbed the...

    Extremely attached to me!

    So I think my 6 month old, laying Buff Orp. Elsa loves me more than the other 4 girls! Whenever I go out there, she is waiting by the gate screeching at the top of her lungs. She screeches all day standing by the gate, and she only stops when I'm in the chicken yard. When I'm in there, she...

    My fiance is a goof!

    So I was sitting on the couch with my laptop watching a makeup tutorial when my fiance Nolan comes in. He had my hairbrush in his hand. I said "Did you lose your brush again?" (His hair is like 3" long and he makes it stand straight up. He is also notorious for losing his brush.) He said "Can I...
