    Is there something wrong with my hen?

    I have a small mixed flock of five hens. Two of which are wyandottes. One is golden laced and the other is silver laced. Both birds seem to be healthy, but our silver laced has a weird, kinda stumpy comb. She doesn't get bullied for it, (as we also have a dark cornish, which has no comb) but I'm...

    Will Hens hatch different colored eggs?

    Right now we have all brown egg layers, and with one gone seriously broody, and with the want for a color variety, that leaves me wondering. Say I were to get blue, green, or white eggs, would my hen avoid them as she hasn't seen anything other than brown eggs? Personally I think she'll be fine...

    Muddy Run

    We live in a rather rainy area of the United states, and water tends to stay for a couple days after it rains. We were planning on adding soil to raise the area so water doesn't collect there. Any suggestions on soil type or irrigation systems?

    Blue Ameraucana Rooster in Need of Loving Home, Cincinnati Ohio

    Hey everybody, as you may recall, I made a post a few months ago wondering if my "pullet" was really a cockerel, of course he was, and that is a problem. Don't get me wrong, he's a beautiful bird, but we were expecting blue eggs, not fertilized ones. We would be okay with this, but we live next...

    Blue ameraucana, is "she" a rooster?

    Hi there! Recently, we've heard some rooster crow like sounds coming from the coop, we have yet to catch who, but we have our suspicion that the culprit may be our blue ameraucana, "Luigi". We bought Luigi from a respectable and large breeder, but we know mistakes can happen, especially since we...

    How Can I Mix Breeds?

    We are planning on getting chicks in the Spring, and everyone wants to pick out their own hen. Can we have a flock with all different breeds without running into any problems? All hens will be large fowl and we won't have Silkies or Polish's.

    Is it Safe to Pet My Chickens?

    Hello! I'm quite new to this whole chicken rearing thing (I don't even have a flock yet, or a coop for that matter!) and I was curious on the health issues of petting your chickens. Some people I've met cuddle and pet their chickens as much as they can, others tell me not to touch them without...

    Do You Give Toys to Your Chickens?

    Hello, I'm not quite sure if this is the correct forum, but it seemed right. I have a few questions for you all: Do you give toys to your chickens? If so, what kind? Which is your flock's favorite toy? I want lots of suggestions so my (and hopefully other's) flock will be happy and stimulated!

    Hello!

    I've just made my account and thought I'd answer the prompted questions. (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I am new and an aspiring keeper! I will hopefully have some before winter hits. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? Sadly, zero, but I may have one or...
